Passacalle
This is the Passacalle from Musica Notturna Delle Strade Di Madrid No. 6, Op. 30 by Luigi Boccherini (1743 – 1805) that was featured at the end of “Master and Commander”. Sort of. In the movie it’s played in F#/Gb but I think I like playing it in G if only because that puts it back into more familiar territory for me.
Hope it’s okay to post this. It’s not Irish or trad but there was a lot of cross-over between Baroque/Classical composers and Irish trad in the past. Pretty lame rationalization maybe. Okay, it’s just plain cool and and I plan on playing it in session. So there ;)
The abc’s are pretty close, but I’m a lot less confident about the chords. Still, they’re an important part of the tune, great fun chunking them out on the fiddle. For anyone not familiar with basic 2-finger mandolin chords G=G,DAe, C=G,Ece and D=A,DAf#
I put this under waltz because of the time signature. It’s probably more of a march than anything. The title means, I think, “Procession of the Night Watch of Madrid"

2-finger chords correction
G chord should be G,DBg. Low to hi: G, string open, D open, B note on A string, g note on e string.
When you strum the chords give them an immediate lift of your fingers and muffle them with the bottom edge of your palm to make them staccato.

I need to see that movie, they also play some Corelli in the movie, correct? I heart the Christmas Concerto!!!
Anywho, if my Italian is still good [Don't fail me now going on 4 years!!], the title should be Nocturnal Music of the Streets of Madrid.. Unless you're talking about something different =P Me like. I heart Baroque. I need more!!
Cheers,
Armand

Original pitch/key
Is it possible that the pitch used on this tune in the movie reflects the lower standard pitch used around that period? Nice authentic touch if so.
