Sindt Bbwhistle Autumn Child

 

Autumn Child

A tune written by Brendan O'Regan,  I have heard quite a few versions of this tune It also plays well on the fiddle in D minor. Like most tunes this is best learnt by ear and the above dots are only an approximation. The tune can be followed by any number of tunes. Lunasa follow it with a reel called "Heatons Chapel". Another band I have heard  follow it with a jolly hornpipe.
Just to confuse the issue the notes above aren't really how it is played in my clip. That is because I heard it played by a fiddle player slightly differently than the above and haven't had time to rewrite the dots. The note I start the tune on is the E hole sliding up to the F# so if you were playing on a D whistle it would actually sound E to F# but as I am playing on a Bb whistle the sound produced is C to C#
