Good luck, Barb. Which album is it on? D'you want some help? Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland
It's on Capernaum.
Finished it last night, and it's a pretty good transcription. Took me a total of about 3 hours - so you can see I don't do this very well. There are no doubt some errors, but it's close. I love it in the key it's in on the fiddle (and I'm not that good in flat keys), but I changed it into E-minor for the harps. The 2 of them loved it.
Thanks for the offer of help. If I find a tune with syncopation I know I'll need help. I have trouble with some unusual rhythms - but I love them.
