One more Daffodil I think is beautiful for violin...

"Light And Daffodils", written by Bokyung Kim, Juhee Kim, Seunglim Hwang & Yoonji Shin.  It's the theme from "Another Story" (Mystic Messenger) - piano & Violin.  Light and Daffodils - Sheet music at musescore.

Mystic Messenger is a kind of Korean mobile-chat game (also in English) I have never heard of before!  "Another Story" is a 'mode' (offshoot?) of Mystic Messenger.

In Mystic Messenger Another Story, players assume the role of a new character, who finds themselves thrown into Rika’s Fundraising Association (RFA). Unlike the original game, this story explores an alternative universe where the events unfold differently. It offers a fresh perspective and a completely new narrative to experience.

Each character has their own unique story, and it’s up to you to uncover the truth behind their motivations, relationships, and pasts.

The game’s storyline is divided into multiple routes, each focusing on a specific character. Through a series of chatrooms and text messages, players interact with the characters and make choices that influence the direction of the story. Mystic Messenger Another Story is known for its immersive storytelling, keeping players engaged and yearning for more.

I finally found who composed this particular (really beautiful) 'Forget Me Not' - Heinrich Lichner (1829-1898, Germany).  Most of his compositions appear to be for piano, but sound lovely on violin.  Think this will go on my 'to learn' list!

Forget Me Not Op.160 n.6 - performed by Windy Li.  

Short Version of 'Forget Me Note' (Lichner) notation at musescore.

Spring Flowers for Cello! 

"Waltz of the Flowers" - Tchaikovsky (KamiCellist). 

"Spring Song" from 4 short pieces - composed by Frank Bridge (Cellist Scott Heron & piano). 

"Daffodil Flower" - trad Chinese, arranged by Agustín Maruri - played by Michael Kevin Jones. 

Stringy mentioned 'Jack-in-the-Green' - it's folklore customs & festivities are associated with 'May Day'. 

I stumbled upon 'Magpie Lane', a group of musicians, dancers/singers - with Mat Green as their fiddler. 

Magpie Lane's "The First of May"!  Notation for this lovely tune on The Session - The First Of May (Barndance) 

Mat Green solo jig: "Flowers of Edinburgh"   VERY interesting discussion on this tune at The Session - "a simple question about the Flowers of Edinburgh" 

Magpie Lane does a really nice "Jack-in-the-Green" (song) & "Jack's Alive" (instrumental).  'Jack's Alive' starts at 2:15 - Jig & Reel versions at The Session. 

Mat Green
founder member; appears on all [Magpie Lane] CDs

Began morris dancing with Bampton in 1972 and has become one of the key figures in the current generation of dancers - he recently celebrated 25 years as Squire of Bampton Morris. He has been playing fiddle since the age of 14, both for the morris, and for many years with the Woodpecker Band, possibly Oxfordshire's most popular barn dance band. He is surely one of the finest exponents of the traditional style of English fiddle-playing, giving dance tunes tremendous vigour and vitality. Mat also plays in a duo with Andy Turner.

Kevin picked me some smaller little Daffodils & Narcissus, today! 

Every once in a while I have to learn a couple of cheerful tunes, so these are some on my list! 

"Flowers of Spring" Hornpipe & "Flowers of Ballymote" (The Sunny Banks Reel) - played by Josephine Keegan.  Links are for notation on The Session. 

I really like this waltz & hornpipe - only found them both played together on the squeezebox, the notes are crystal clear.  Alston Flower Show Hornpipe - notation on The Session. The Flowers of Ashgill Waltz - PDF, duo Violin notation with chords (from the Mumpers Community Ceilidh Band)! 

"Vårblommor" Vals (Spring Flowers - Swedish) - composed by famous Swedish accordionist, Carl Jularbo and played by Skogsbylasse on harmonica. 

I've really enjoyed listening to the Rebecca Behrends album - it's inspired me to take a closer look!  Some sound like maybe VIOLA played, or just tuned down (?)
