This tune was notated from the playing of Gay McKeon on the NPU Intermediate tutor video available online at http://www.pipers.ie/tutorplay.asp?seq=2. This version is taken from Seamus Ennis' version as played on "The Return from Fingal". The "up bow" marking on the B's indicates that these notes were played "off the knee".

A bit of a lark

There's a little bit of the "Lark in the Morning" with this tune. Parts 1 & 4. (I'm stretching it somewhat with part 1 but it's still thee I feel)

The transcription at the NPU site is taken from the work that Pat Mitchell did for The Dance Music of Seamus Ennis. It is the tune overview, rather than the detailed transcription, but it is based on the playing of Seamus Ennis.

A much better video tutorial than others posted online.
