Come on - play me a tune!
If it's early in the evening and still rather quiet in the pub, the instruments have just been taken out of their cases and the first sip of freshly poured Guinness runs through the expectant throat – then you will hear this call and the session is opened. One starts, the others nod in recognition, take their instruments and start playing. And now the wild hunt in the land of the jigs and reels starts and ends only after millions of notes.
More than five thousand tunes have survived, and new ones have been added. These arrangements in the old Irish style give us the possibility to play along even when the other musicians play a little. faster.
All notes with the stem written downwards are played by the bass hand, its thump often playing melody notes. This takes the burden off the melody hand, which can then play the remaining notes. On metal strings and small harps with small string spacing this octave is played with 1 3 – larger harps take the usual 1 4 fingering – maybe even in the more relaxed etouffée manner.
