Hi, I´m looking for those two tunes mentioned above. Does anybody have the sheetmusic or are they known by another title, cause I can´t find them throughout the whole www and all my tunebooks ? Thanks, Dagmar
Is it Men or "Man of Aran" in which case both it and The Maple Leaf are in Gordon Tyrall's Irish Choice on page 10, but give me some time and i will try to get the abc together (or is this breach of copyright?

Hello Kenny and Dagmar. I was just browsing through the Internet and came across this site. My name is Darach de Brun. I am a Uilleann Piper and Tin Whistle player and I did, amongst many others, compose The Maple Leaf and Man of Aran. The Man of Aran was composed in 1975 as a wedding present for Tommy Walsh, a Dublin box player who composed the tune Inis Thoir (Inisheer). The Maple Leaf was composed in 1976 for my own wedding. I had my reception in the Maples Hotel, Dublin, hence the name. Thanks for the interest shown. Enjoy the tunes.
To Breandan. The tape you have of Oisin was made in either 1976 or 1977. I was only two years playing at this stage. This is the original version of these tunes. I was a special guest on that LP. Two other comositions of mine are also on that LP, "Terry's Travels", and "Walk of the Fiddler's Bride", a wedding march I composed for the Fiddler player in the group, Mick Davis and his wife Eithne. I have a tape of a tape of a tape of that LP, otherwise I don't know myself if it is still available. Darach.

Both are compositions of the Dublin whistle-player Darach de Brun.

Re: Men of Aran and the maple leaf
Two of my favourite tunes on the whistle. Been playing them for about 20 years and never tire of them. I never knew who wrote them - So THANKS Darach.
I learnt them originally from a tape of a group called Óisín - now lost in the mists of time - don't know if it's still available.
