What is it, exactly, that makes a song or tune an Air?
Does playing an air involve a certain technique?
I am playing Canticle of the Turning with the choir at church.
The tune is Star of the County Down - an Air in Em.
As I play the tune, I feel like I am being heavy handed compared to You Tube videos that I have listened to.
It isn't a good description, but the You Tube videos feel like they have more of a "bounce" than I have in my playing.
What don't I know?
Thanks!
