Tune of the Week No.1:

Cenneag Mhor

[Image: cenn.jpg]

I transcribed this tune from my record collection, from one of my favourite Scottish dance bands, Addie Harper's Wick SCD Band. I don't really know anything about the tune, but I like it. It's in a D pentatonic key, and fairly lilts along. Try it. What d'you think?

Hi Nigel,

I wasn't sure if you'd think this Tune a Week idea was worth the effort, or if you even had time to fit it in, but fair play & thanks for giving it a go.

Anyway, here's my attempt at it. Cenneag Mhor

To qualify my effort, I have been playing mostly Irish Music for the past 30 odd years, so I'm afraid anything I play is bound to have a certain lilt to it! Wink

Also, I have this tune in the back of my mind as a song or mouth music, recorded by, I think, the Bothy Band, so there's probably not much of the Heederum Hoderums about my take on it ... sorry! Blush

Cheers
Dick

I think it's worth a shot, I'll certainly have a bash at it....but I'm definitely not in your league Dick and your Sobell is great. Should have my new Shippey in a month all being well.......
Anyway I'll work on it for now......
Nigel, there is an open e missing on the 2nd bar 2nd line for those that can't read dots......(me just being pedantic!!!!)
OK, I did it, here it is:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcFom3BB_Aw

Two interestingly different versions here, gents. New tune to me, so will have a go at learning it and then may well post another version.

I'm not sure if you'll accept a fiddle one, please tell me if not.
I'd understand you wouldn't because I see this is mandoline site.

Just newly joined and a posting already. You'll find there are many of us who play more than the mandolin and we do post examples. just as you have done. Looking forward to hearing some mandolin from you now.

I want to buy one, but because of the crisis, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little more till I get enough money for that. Sad

Thanks for your kind answers. Smile

Well done, Anotinia (did I make a mistake with your name?) - nice to listen to.

Don't worry, nobody calls me "Antonia" so "Anotinia" is ok. Moreover I often use a "nick" on the internet. Smile

Thanks for let me join to "The Gathering".
