Origin of this tune
This tune was written by french harmonica player Jean-Jacques Milteau and appeared on CD album "Routes" in 1995. It can easily be transposed down to Edorian for keyless flutes which can't play the G# (but in this case part B will have to be transposed up).
The tune has 3 parts which I have written down in ABC format, I hope this is still understandable. The parts play in this order : A then B, A, C, B, A, B, and A.

Irish medley
I might be wrong, but I think this tune is a kind of patchwork mixing the last part of The Morning Dew

the second part of The Teetotaler's
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/114
and the first part of Seeing to his sheep (a Scottish tune I haven't found on The Session) !
