This tune

What the hell - everyone's doing it. I've taken the vast liberty of submitting a tune of my own. I apologize for not having a name for it. There#s not a lot I can say about it, apart from that it was written in Latvia sometime in the winter of 1998/99. It serves as a fine example of how it is possible to apparently follow all the "rules" of a traditional Irish tune, yet come out with something like a cross between Elton John and J.S. Bach.

It's a little bit like the Cliffs of Moher in part 1 but it's easy to tell apart.

if you had followed the rules or even the 'rules' you wouldn't have ended up with a bastard like this! :-) 'Trappings' is prob a better word: You picked 6/8, the mixolydian mode and 4x4 bars in two parts. That's all really. The rest sounds as melodious and mindful of any rules as a Latvian mosquito homing on an unwary campers' vein in the still of the midsummers' twilight.
