Where and When

The Da Day Dawn Set:

Since this is a set of traditional folk tunes, there will be many subtle variations between written versions.  The tunes here have the traditional internal structure of AABB(CC).  Each tune is played twice, eg. AABBAABB.

It may seem unusual to have a jig followed by a reel in the same set.  It would be difficult to dance to!  This is in fact one of the more haunting "listening sets".  The first two tunes are played slowly and emotionally.  For contrast, the last tune, Da New Rigged Ship, is played at normal speed (normal here being about 106 bpm), to bring us all back down to earth with a skip.

Here is an mp3 of the set, that we put together at Donald's place one Sunday afternoon.
