The Sleeping Tune
Written by Gordon Duncan
Posted following a request by king's taxes
THIS IS NOT A REEL - It is more of a slow air or possibly a very slow reel. It is very stately and sombre.
The melody of this tune is so beautiful. I remember hearing it played in a session on a set of border pipes the day Gordon Duncan died and it was so moving.
When playing it don't be afraid to draw it out - particularly the long notes.
