Tune of the Month for May 2019: The Fighting Temeraire
« on: April 30, 2019, 10:27:09 PM »

Hi everyone - Sandy's tune wins!

So here we are: The Fighting Temeraire - written by Sandy Shallis; here's a video of it being played by Sandy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcC4H5jvv8o

You can find some written music attached to this post - thanks Dick!

Perhaps some kind soul can magically transform it to ABC?

Cheers,

Clive

Aw, shucks, Clive.  Now I've gone and broke my arm patting myself on the back.

No magic involved, just some typing on my keyboard.

A couple of times through, and then a more exploratory out-take. Usual rules, imperfect,  but hopefully sufficient to catch the mood.

All the best.

Take 1 is a traditional approach inspired by Sandy's recording on Youtube

Take 2 has a rhythmic twist to it and should be seen more as an exploration of the tune's possibilities

Here's the soundcloud playlist with both recordings:

Nice playing Bill and Fred both. Mine'll be along shortly, I hope. I'm surprised there haven't been more postings so far but I guess there's plenty of time left in the month.

I've had to use the time to have a look at the pieces for Wensleydale. Still listening to other' postings though. Maybe once I'm back.

Have fun in Wendsleydale - take some warm clothes - it's perishin' here and you're going East of where I am!

Here's my version, you just pick up the old Preciosa, switch it on, and it do play itself :-)

We're in C minor on a Bb/Eb box.

My contribution. This tune's growing on me, I think it would make a good border morris tune.

You're getting better with each video you post. This was very enjoyable to listen to.
I particularly found your major chord choice in the B part interesting.

Thank you! I will admit, I'm unreasonably gratified when an arrangement makes the full tour of available two-row basses. The D (on C/G) at the end of the third row might be the most surprising here, but it does seem to go right in.

Had fun listening to the different takes on this months tune.  It was good learning for me to play around with the interesting chords. I had hoped to play it a bit more fluidly, still feel a bit unsure with the camera and I want to get past that hesitancy.  Need to give credit to the wonderful people who have been helping me lately, it's been the best thing thats happened to me getting tapped into the community.  Thanks!
