This tune was written by John Sheahan and first appeared on the album "40" by The Dubliners. A live version by them is here. It's a completely different tune from Sheahan's similarly-named "Marino Waltz". The Casino in the title is a famous 18th century building in Dublin -- not a casino in the sense of gambling but in the original Italian meaning of "small house". I have recorded the tune in an arrangement by Michel Van Der Meiren, which can be found here: http://michelv.be/folkbrigade/2013/1...marino-casino/ Michel has separate arrangements in D major and G major, with completely different harmony parts. I have used both arrangements, playing the tune first in D and then in G. Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin (2x) 1925 Zimmermann Waldzither Ozark tenor guitar Suzuki MC-815 mandocello Martin
This is one of four tunes written by John Sheahan that I have recorded this week, and the only one that isn't a waltz. The arrangement by Michel Van Der Meiren is now offline, so I have uploaded it here: https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/t...=1#post1809667 Michel has separate arrangements in D major and G major, with completely different harmony parts. I am playing the tune first in D and then in G. I have not used all the harmonies, but have amalgamated them into the mandocello part, which is different for each of the eight sections in my recording (four A and four B parts).

Great interplay of the instruments, Martin. Thanks for providing the sheet music again.
John Sheahan produced so many fine compositions, and you are certainly on a roll with his tunes here, Martin. Quite a Baroque feel to this one, and well delivered as always. You are certainly keeping busy.
Really nice rendition of this tune Martin - I'm very familiar with the Marino Casino as I had very good friends from Marino when I was younger and spent a lot of time there.
Thanks, John, Jill and Frithjof. I think John Sheahan is from Marino, hence the local references. The baroque flavour may be because I played the decorations more in the style of a baroque trill than an Irish triplet, but the original also sounded quite baroque to start with. Since my earlier recording, a better quality version of John Sheahan's original has been uploaded on Youtube: https://youtu.be/wOgUIke85S0 Martin
Fine version! Do you play the trills with both hands or with the left hand only. Anyway, the way you do it sounds convincing.
Thanks, Christian. These are picked trills -- basically a tremolo with the left hand finger lifting and pressing in time with the tremolo. It occurs to me that the title of the tune may be intended as a reference to its neo-Baroque style, as the Marino Casino is an 18th century building. Martin
The change of key works well here. I can see what you mean about the baroque flavour.
