The Gentle Light That Wakes Me (Phil Cunningham) - JAJ - 17-01-2012 09:35 AM
Hiya tunesters!
This is a version of this lovely Phil Cunningham tune which I learned for a Fiddle rally a couple of years ago.
It is, of course, a slow air which I believe should be a very individual thing as regards interpretation but I'd urge you to listen to the recordings by Phil & Aly and/or Duncan Chisholm to get the true feel of things including ornaments, grace notes etc.
I've also attached a pdf in standard notation for those who don't know their alphabet
