Si Beag Si Mor [Waltz] - Tune of the Month with Shannon Heaton

Here's the well-known “Si Beag Si Mor.” I play this D Major waltz with members of the audience to close my Irish Music Stories Live concert. Here I teach it phrase by phrase and then I put it in an ensemble context. As always, I’m playing this on my Patrick Olwell Pratten-style flute. Hope you had a great 2019, and are excited to welcome in another musical year!

Yes, the high parts are so expressive!

@@ShannonHeatonMusic I fall in love with the melody in 90's when I heard Deiseal's version with the great Cormac Breatnach from Narada collection series (Celtic Legacy). So, your arrangement give back to that part of my life :)

Beautiful. Carolan was a genius. I’ve yet to hear a bad tune. Most are great.

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

Hi, Wayne. It's a pretty tune, indeed. There's a reason it's played so often!

Beautiful! Handel said he'd trade all his music for one O'Carolan tune.

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

ha! Well, that might not be a totally fair trade. But it's a nice thought...

[@santigaitero]

Great as always! Thanks!! ☺♫
