Sweet, Sad, Gentle
Mysterious and haunting, an exotic middle eastern, persian, indian or arabic track based on a rhythm drone, tabla percussion and an ethnic wood flute.
The minor key of this waltz gives the piece a melancholic, almost sad feel. The soloist plays at a medium tempo without straying too far from the initial melody, then a more optimistic section lifts the gloom before it returns to melancholy to finish.
Fun, upbeat and lively Irish double jig set. Connaughtman's Rambles opens with banjo, while fiddle joins in at 0:29. The tune leads into My Darling Asleep at 0:58 at which point guitar and bodhran join in creating a pounding and driving mood. 100% live performance. This track has two titles because this is traditionally how many Irish pub tunes are performed, as a double set of short tunes, the first leading directly into the second.
The Chaffpool Post tune leading into the Hills of Tara (at 1:31) - both are popular barn dances from around 19th Century Ireland. Light, happy and upbeat, this set of tunes are heard often in Irish traditional pub sessions - in this occassion with piano accompaniment to banjo and fiddle playing the main tune. 100% live performance. This track has two titles because this is traditionally how many Irish pub tunes are performed, as a double set of short tunes, the first leading directly into the second.
Imagine being a goldfish in a bowl and staring out at the big wide world. Acoustic guitar harmonics start this hypnotic track, a simple marimba melody enters, then different drums join in and strings enter in a ghostly fashion. The tune builds and entrances you as it marches on. Contains acoustic guitar, chromatic wooden percussion, strings and bass drum pulses.
Very atmospheric and dreamy Japanese winter garden style with echoey acoustic guitars, koto and shamisen over sparse oriental percussion.
A popular set of lively, spirited and vivacious polkas from 19th Century Ireland - heard in many Irish traditional music pub sessions - performed by whistle, guitar and fiddle. Egan's Polka leads into Maurice Manley's Polka at 0:49 - both are upbeat, driving and merry. 100% live performance. This track has two titles because this is traditionally how many Irish pub tunes are performed, as a double set of short tunes, the first leading directly into the second.
A wishful female voice with bagpipe and fiddle. Gentle and happy.
