Moonlit Grove

This tune popped in my head one night when I was thinking about writing a tune for once. Hope it's ok and I dunno if the ABC is quite right!

Sheetmusic errors!

Yeah i though i hadn't got the ABC quite right!

In bars 3 and 7 it should go B then D then E instead of B then E then D which is what the sheetmusic shows!

Also, bars 20 and 28 should go B F# A E F# G# A C# instead of B F# A F# F# G# A B! I'll soon get the hang of this ABC lark!

Otherwise known as "Fire in the Hole", right?

Fire in the Hole!!

Oh yeah!!! mate i totally forgot about that!! I'll write a piece that suits that name!

Sorry..your tune naming talents will not go to waste...there'll be a tune along the way come half term hopefully!

MY naming talents? That was yours! "But I don't want to call it something stupid, like 'Fire in the hole', or something...."

Before you get too carried away with yourself ~

"When I've figured out how to do it, I'll upload some of my tunes on here so watch out!" ~ Dan Foster

It would help to read the FAQS
http://www.thesession.org/members/index/faqs

FAQ: Can I submit my own compositions?

"Well... The Session isn't really intended for that. If you do post one of your own compositions, then you must do your "penance", so to speak, by balancing each original composition with about five trad tunes." ~ Jeremy, our webmaster

For a bit of ABC, here's your tune given a once over without changing your notes for it ~

Another good source for guidance is to check other submissions on site here. We don't all have the same 'technique' and you don't necessarily have to use the |: as the opening for your transcription...

We've had floods of 'compositions' in the past and it will likely happen again, but on the whole it is taken as being discourteous ~ toward the site and its intent, to the music, and to the rest of us who value and use this site... This is from someone who has added the occassional melody that has dropped in to take hold of me as an orphan. Sometimes I'll adopt one and give it a home here for others to give it a go... That said, in all, my ratio is pretty high, trad to adopted orphan...

Best of luck with the ABCs and FAQs... ;-)

Don't learn your abc off ceolachan - he always makes mistakes :-)

I always admit me weaknesses and 'inclinations', unlike some... :-P
