Rattle His Bones
A brand new reel (July 2005). I'm still not entirely sure about the third part - the idea is right, maybe some of the notes need altering a bit and I think the 'strum' effect can be replaced by occassionally a single long chord for a bit of variety in repeats.
I'm never entirely sure how these tunes come together in my head. The opening phrase has just a hint of Bach's Double Violin Concerto in D minor - it was my favourite tune when I was ten - not the first time a bit of Bach has entered the traditional world (last summer Com O'Rua was getting us to play an excerpt from a Bach Canata as a Slip Jig!).
I think this tune also has a little bit of the Gravel Walks about it - another of my favourite tunes. So maybe all I've done is combine two aspects of two other really good tunes.
Have fun with it anyhow!
