A little late, but it has been a busy week at work, putting in my two weeks and getting ready for my new Job. We did two takes that turned out, one with my future father in-law playing rythm and one with him joining in for the first round of melody, then finishing with rythm. I think this one makes me sound the best of the two.
Very well done jhuesgen (and future father in-law). The combination of the two instruments made the song come alive.
Way to go J, groovy melody playing and nice interesting chording on the zouk. You've got yourself a nice little band there!
Great stuff Jhuesgen and nice that you have a ready made rhythm section! My effort is not so polished, a few mistakes but it was take 27............. Bertram, thanks for the Strongbow, I need it!
Too many elements go into recording. Lighting, batteries, the camera just being bad, nerves, strings, the mic, other people being loud at the end of the best take... I know with me, My picking is a lot better when the camera is off, but once it (the camera) is turned on I start messing up things that are no problem normally. I realize now that you should turn auto focus off too that is why my last post looks so flashy.
Well nice job tosh! we are at the top of page two which makes us special and stand out. Sunday already??? need to work on June Apple now tune overload. I have about 40 Irish tunes to learn (So I can sit in with my future father in-laws Irish band some times, and a few Norman Blake tunes in my "the mandolin of Norman Blake" dvd that I received two months ago when I got my Mandolin. This sites way tooooooo addicting! Been neglecting my Martin guitar.
Tosh, you get my vote for the most unusual version so far. Intriguingly different melody and phrasing. 27th take? Your video title says it's the 311010th take, now that's what I call determination
Bertram, it's essentially the version from Henderson's Tutor For The Bagpipe, I've just trebled the endings:- X:78 T:Brian Boru T:6/8 March B:Henderson's Tutor For The Bagpipe M:6/8 R:March K:Bmin f |: dcB BBf | dcB BBe | cBA AAe | cBA AAf | dcB BBf | dcB BBA | B>de fec |1 BB/B/B B2 f :|2 BB/B/B B2 A || |: Bce f2 e | f2 e f2 a | ABc e2 c | e2 c e2 f | Bce f2 e | f2 e f2 a | B>de fec |1 BB/B/B B2 A :|2 BB/B/B B2 f || |: dcB BfB | dcB BfB | cBA A<Aa/A/ | cBA A<Aa/A/ | dcB BfB | dcB BBA | B>de fec |1 BB/B/B B2 f :|2 BB/B/B B2 f || As for number of takes, I kept getting the third section wrong and the vid I posted was the best I could mangle it!!!!!
This was actually my suggestion, but for some reason I failed to record it. So here we go:
Sure glad you've gotten around to this tune – it was well worth the wait!
Good picking Manfred, and looks like I didn't do this one either. It certainly is a fine tune.
Nice job Manfred. That was a very clean performance (as usual) and the triplets sound great. This tune was from before I joined. I like it when the old tunes resurface so I can see what I missed.
Manfred thanks for making this one bubble up to the surface again. Great tune and it was very worth the wait....especially with that Brentrup that sounds finer and finer each time I hear it!
Thanks, guys. In the tune book I have this version from Brian Boru is designated an 'Air', so I did not play it at lightning speed I think it would even sound great if played more slowly. If you are interested in this version, please send me a PM with your email and I send you a pdf.
Trouble with a Capital T...
Trouble with understanding the point
And Alan's version...
Both of those from the 70's... Sorry Mannfred, I guess you had to be there...
Manfred, that was a late but refreshening revival of this old tune/thread. Eddie, you must admit that recognizing the tune in that Horslips song is for advanced deja vu diviners only, in fact I heard more of Road to Lisdoonvarna in it
Like I said, you had to be there...
Brian Boru's March is one of the tunes that I play with the band I'm in. We pair it with Rakes of Kildare. Since I'm practicing it for some upcoming St. Pat's day gigs, I thought I'd go ahead and turn on the video camera. That noise you hear is my foot tapping!
hi, i'm nuadh. someone said jig means post in irish, and port is an irish generic term for a tune. my gaidhlig is from alba nuadh, nova scotia, there post (usually spelled peurt--and pronounced peurst) definately means tune. pretty much any tune. peurt a bheuill is mouth music and peurt a piba is war pipes music etc. i'll have to look and see if there is specific word for jig. my gaidhlig is pretty rusty as i haven't had anyone to speak to since grand ma died in the eighties and i have lived all across canada and the usa.
ps i love the tunes available on this group and i love the great versions!!! some day i'll learn to post a video. i'm a one finmger typist and quite non techno. however i have learned a dozen tunes from this group!
Port is a tune also a Jig, Port Luasca is a Slip Jig, Ril is a reel, Cornphiopa is a hornpipe... Failte Romhat, Ollaimh
Very nice Barbara. I like the little triplet runs and your clear tone. Where did you get this version?
Manfred, thanks! I got both these tunes from a book put out a long time ago, by an Iowan, David Hicks, called "A Lark In the Clear Air ~ A Complete Guide to the Wooden Flute"
Cool tune! I really enjoyed your playing, Barb and Manfred. I'm all over the foot tapping. The Gaelic lessons are a lovely bonus as well.
A version I recorded this afternoon, using my Paris Swing "Macaferri" mandolin.
Sweet!
I didn't know there was a fourth part, Aidan. Well played! I'd forgotten all about this tune.
