Hey--it was requested
I know this is a Riverdance tune, but someone requested it, and I thought it would be fun to spend the afternoon trying to transcribe a reel played at breakneck speed from a CD. I think I got all the right notes, but if I didn't, I'm sure Michael Flatley will shoot me a quick e-mail to let me know. To all my friends at the Celtic Arts Center Seisiun, I expect to hear somebody start this one up this Monday night

Not many people know this
but like the Riverdance set, and the Woman of Ireland set, this one has different names too. It begins with the Córoná Air, (meaning crown in Gaelic and the radioactive sloar flares protruding from the sun), followed by this piece, the Chronos Reel, and ends with Reel Around the Sun (where the dancers form a 'V').

Reel Around the Sun
I'm pretty sure the title of this is actually correct...
The Corona Air is the tune played on the Low Whistle at the very beginning, the song then moves into the Chronos Reel, when the dancers first begin dancing as a troupe. This piece, Reel Around the Sun, is the "Flatley piece," when the lead male comes out and dances his first solo, and then leads the troupe out from the stage left corner to form a V. The piece then ends again in the Corona Air as the dancers walk off the stage. Just correcting IDintern's above post.
