Stone of Destiny
This is a newly composed tune by Maurice Lennon from his recent CD "Brian Boru, the High King of Tara". Maurice (nephew of Charlie - also a composer - and son of Ben, noted Leitrim traditional players) was a founder member of the trad group, Stockton's Wing. All of the tunes on the CD, apart from Brian Boru's March, are composed by Maurice. I picked this one which is not only very catchy, but was also fairly easy to transpose - transposition is not one of my stronger points but hopefully it's mostly correct!

Lunasa do a nice version of this tune on their latest album, Se. Definately worth a look.
