from Saileog Ní Ceannabháin Compositions
This tune was inspired by the playing of Jacqueline McCarthy on concertina and Tommy Keane on pipes, in particular when they play in B flat tuning. I really like listening to them and was also hoping to compose a tune that might sound like a piping tune with a particular atmosphere.
Note: The tune was recorded in F. It could be played in G or A, but it was written to be played in a lower key.
