Long time no activity in this group! Here are two wonderful arrangements of Welsh tunes, from the new collection by Evelyn Tiffany-Castiglioni, posted for free download on the Cafe (also in print form from Amazon): Link Instrumentation for both tunes: Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin (x2) Suzuki MC-815 mandocello Vintage Viaten tenor guitar Ton Alarch / The Swan's Tone This is a traditional Welsh harp tune, originally collected and published by Edward Jones in 1784 with the tempo marking "majestic". The only harp recording I have heard is very slow -- my adaptation for mandolin quartet is somewhat faster, which I thought suits the tune. Caerdroia This is traditional Welsh tune in waltz time, which I originally learned many years ago from Nigel Gatherer (who got the name slightly wrong). "Caerdroia" is the Welsh word for a turf maze, and also the title of an annual magazine on labyrinths and mazes. Martin
