Play it slowly & freely twice, then speed it right up buzzing away
one verse only, then repeat last line slowed right down again, and
then put the rhythm back in while holding the final note. That's
how I do it anyway - I guess you got to hear it!

She moved through the fair with trumpette?
Isn't it a slow air or something like that? How can you put a
buzzing sound in such a haunting melody? It makes no sense to me...

I use my trompette string when it's appropriate for the key (as for
She Moved Through the Faire) but don't use the dog until the third
tune.
Also, if you're playing by yourself or with more flexible players
you can do these tunes on a G/C gurdy- that's what I have and it's
rarely been a problem. If someone else can't work with me in those
keys I just play in D without drones or retune the petit bourdon to A.

Yes, and I forgot to mention: I NEVER play these ones with a
trumpet string. NEVER EVER!!!!!! Many of my favourite tunes do not
need a trumpet drone. E.g. I really enjoy some scandinavian tunes
played together with a friend of mine on two gurdies with first
and second voice and we barely use drones, maybe just one or max 2
on 2 instruments, not to mention thetrumpet. For my taste their
beautiful minor melodies would be disturbed by using a dog. I
guess that lots of people think: no buzzing, no gurdy.
What’s the opinion out there?

Ah, someone after my own heart. Planxty Irwin is a favourite of
mine too and one of the first tunes I learned to play on HG (yes,
I have the Planxty tape with it on) usually followed by another
favourite of sheebeg sheemor (or any of a dozen alternative
spelling that abound but you know which one I mean) although that
does require a LOT of octave hopping but I rather like it.
I do tend to play the more haunting tunes as regards Irish music
on the HG.

Hey everybody,
I love to play Planxty Irwin by O’Carolan. You should listen to
the band Planxty’s version featuring Andy Irvine on hurdy-
gurdy. The wide tonal range may caus problems, but I love to
play it on a low G-chanterelle, starting at the high octave and
then moving down the scale. Could be worth to try.
Cheers,
Uli

Thank you, Felicia. I thought I'd do O'Sullivan's March, but I
ran out of notes. I'll give this one a try.

March of the King of Laois (sp?) is Irish, easy to play and a
lovely slow march. Atholl Highlanders, while Scottish, is a
faster march and really good fun to play on gurdy as well.
William and I play them together as a set and they make for a
nice pairing.
Have fun!
Felicia.
