Planxty Lord Inchiquin
A lovely tune which is fairly
straightforward, Apparently this tune was composed
in the honour of the fourth Earl of Inchiquin.
The format is different from the
usual 8 bars repeated. There are 16 bars in the
first section and 24in the second part
I haven't put any ornaments in
the score as I am too lazy! anyway it would clutter it up.
The tune is played with some cuts
and triplets which fall off the fingers quite
easily. There is some finger vibrato on the long G
notes. Rolls and such-like have been avoided
as I
don't personally think the tune needs these.
Turlough O'
Carolan was influenced by some of the Baroque
composers a lot of his tunes have this flavour. On
bar 16 of the second section there is a pause on
the top (A) note, this is called
"rubato" in musical terms and is just a
stretching of the bar to give accent to the end of
a phrase and a spring-board to the next phrase.
Played on a
C whistle.
