Lovely duet, you two. I'm sure Mr Yeats is smiling from his Ben Bulben resting place, Bertram.
Thanks John, to please Mr Yeats would indeed be a challenge, what with his alleged lack of humor, casting a cold eye on most things including life and death
Joyous. Love the clinical white imagery.
Wonderful!
Really enjoyable!
Thanks all. This was fun to do.
brilliant
Lovely. Thanks!
Thank you Lawrence and Colin.
Very enjoyable performance Bertram and Regina I did a version some time ago as an exercise in double stops on non adjacent strings and here it is. Look out for use of the second finger.
Very intricate and baroque-like, Maudlin, including polyphonous runs with a constant timing. I get the impression that the mandolin fretboard is a bit small for so many fingers to walk around each other (I couldn't do that!) - an OM would give you more room for that.
I was looking through the "Other Tunes"-list and found this lovely song. Brilliant singing and picking, Bertram! Nice double stop playing, Maudlin! As is so often the case, I just tremoloed my way through the melody:
Interesting chords, Christian, and I think this is the first time I saw tremolo notation (didn't even know it exists) Good essence of the mood of this song.
Good to see this one revived, Christian. Another fine arrangement you have there.
John, We have this one too. Needs pics or video. It was the second half of (I think) Inisheer. These are all good and I love Bertram's analogy. Beautiful voices too. I also love CC's new version - and the fact that tremoloed is now a verb !
Thanks Bertram, John and Ginny. I am German, so I'm not completely sure about the use of nouns as verbs in English. But we have the verb "tremolieren" in German, so I thought, "to tremolo" was the English equivalent. But it seems "tremolo" in English exists as a noun only...
No, CC - you have coined the term and I like it - it shall be deemed now to also be a verb. I often say..I mandoed today...hence a verb.
Verbing words weirds people
