Haunting tune from a hand-me-down tape
All I know about this beautiful tune is that is was recorded, and most likely composed, by a band called "The Rub" from Durham, for whom Ian Carr was the guitarist. The tune is played on a Bb flute (in Bm), though I don't know the name of the player. Does anyone out there have any info on this band?
The third part has quirky time-signature changes. I notated it so that the main emphasis comes on the downbeat of each measure.
Since I'm a flute player I'll include the Bm ABCs:
fbba f2ed | e2ed eff2 | fbba f2d/e/f | e2de fAA2 |
fbba f2ed | e2ed eff2 | d'c'ba f2ed | edcA A4 |
|: BABf ABFG | ede/f/g fed2 | ede/f/g fedB | BABF A4 |
BABf ABFG | ede/f/g fedB | ABfA F/G/FfF | F/G/Ffg fed2 :|
|: bafd e2de | M:3/4 ~B3c df | M:4/4 abdf bd'df | b2af ade/f/a |
bafd e2de | M:3/4 ~B3c df | c3d e/f/a | d'2 c'a fa | e'c' d'c' ba :||
It's a challenge to reach into the third register, but much nicer than lumbering through G minor.

Eminor would be a much easier solution for flutist ....

but then you've got to pop all the lower register notes which wrecks the flow of the b-part considerably.

if it's The Rub from Durham then the flute player will be Norman Holmes
