Sean Ryan Strikes Again...

My last posting had me going back through "The Hidden Ireland", where I found this lovely jig (directly underneath "A Thousand Farewells" on the page, which is already in the tune database here). So it would appear that I'm now on a Sean Ryan "kick", so I'll just roll with it. It's in the relatively rare (for jigs, anyway) key of D minor/ D dorian, which makes it all the more appealing (unless you're a fluter/whistler/etc.). There's one small adjustment I find myself making in the melody, though. It occurs in the transition between measures 2 & 3 and where the same phrases repeat at measures 6 & 7. Rather than slavishly following what's on the page, I change the last note of measures 3 & 6 to a low "G"; I find it accentuates the upward movement of the phrase in the next measures nicely. The Phrase(s) would go thus:

AGE DCG, | A,DE FEF |

So you can copy & paste that in & give it a whirl. Let me know what you think- and as always, enjoy!

Key

seems like D minor if it has a Bb in the key signature. D dorian is the key of C
