Brian Boru's March on hammered dulcimer by Timothy Seaman

- www.timothyseam... Timothy Seaman uses a separated-hands technique on the Dusty Strings D600 hammered dulcimer to play a unique arrangement of the great Irish tune about a great Irish hero, Brian Boru. The tune is a march in 6/8 time, so the right hand moves back and forth in mirrorlike patterns, R-L-R, L-R-L, to create a lively swinging effect, and each new pass-through of the melody is in a new key a fourth lower than the one before. In the third verse the dampers are depressed; various departures from the exact tune arrive serendipitously.
A studio recording of a similar performance is on the album Jamestown: On the Edge of a Vast Continent, with several other instruments joining in for a full improvisational flavor, found here: timothyseaman.c.... (The new tune title additionally used on this album is 'Building James Fort.')

LOVED IT!
I came upon this, today being the anivsary of the BATTLE OF CLONTARF!! I'm a instant fan! Erin Abu!!
There used to be a hammer dulcimer in the pub opposite the pit in Clay Cross. My dad told me the miners used to stop on their way home and play all sorts on it. Guess we re talking the twenties.
Still watching this after so many years!! And is still fascinating as the first time! ❤️
No doubt. Same as you here. Cheers.
There needs to be a 1 or 10 hour version of this
Beautiful performance.Brian Boru , high king of Ireland , composed in his honour for safeguarding the Irish Indigenous people from viking invasion, last battle fought in Clontarf 1014. His predessors were not as successful in preventing the later invasions of the Norman and British occupations on the Island
Such a pretty sounding instrument
You are AMAZING! This is my favorite instrument on Earth, and you are a Master.
Agree 100% with Ross! And I had forgotten how much I love "Brian Boru's March." My first encounter with the silver rain of a hammered dulcimer occurred over 40 years ago at my first Renaissance Faire, near San Francisco. We ended up following the player ALL over the Faire for hours, and I emerged a lifelong fan.
Thank you, Agene! Great to hear from you ---
Magnificent! Thank you !
Talent in abundance
This is so magical sounding!
Beyond beautiful
Beautiful.
Each time I hear this version I am fascinated... The sound is so round and rich... and watching the hand is mesmerizing... it seems like the hammer never touch the string (yet they do) and.. whaaou, I love that. Thank you for this interpretation and for this video :)
Love it love it love it! The descending keys and the slow, dirge-like fourth verse convey something very important about the song: this is a battle that Brian Boru does not come back from alive.
PLAYIN THE HELL OUTTA THAT PIANO/GUITAR/DRUMSET, AMAZING
Could listen to this all day. i would love to get one.! amazing
Absolutely fantastic! Greetings from the Czech republic, Central Europe.
Honorably played Sir, thank you. God Bless you.
Splendid! Greetings from France.
nice instrument and nice song
These ancient instruments are so much soulful and more rich that I must divide my music listening "career" in two parts: time before finding these and time after finding these. Even though before I listened everything from black metal to techno, classical, progressive rock and jazz, finding these was a game changer I just can't go back being without the tones and tunes of our past.
love you man
Absolutely love it!
This is my current favorite song! I keep listening to it again. Very well done! That part where its muted adds a lot to this version that I haven't heard with others.
Thank you, Maestro !
Antare de mentare. Antare. Maristerae Seaman, soy karabaos voy tupere areat vasaraen. Asta son vuelevas de instrumentale figugares, estae fuey beauticificae.
Beautiful, bravo sir.
Mesmerizing. Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous music. 🌹
Absolutely beautiful interpretation on a beautiful instrument.
Muy linda versión de de la Marcha Irlandesa, nombre con que conocí esta melodía por la versión para guitarra de 10 cuerdas de autoría de Narciso Yepes. Con el dulcimer se logra un sonido muy evocador, casi nostálgico. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile.
amazing sound and style
Oh, my! What a wonderful sound! This is a beautiful tune.
Gorgeous. Thank you.
Wonderful.
Merci pour cette belle musique!
Lovely arrangement and very tastefully played, with the style and tempo changes and the sonority of that wonderful instrument! I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for posting!
Beautiful music and a brilliant interpretation. Loved it! Cheers!
Great sounding instrument never seen it before. Brilliant
I play a version of this...which I love....but yours is truly amazing and I love the "swinging" effect that is created!
Awesome!
Excelente interpretación!!! Enhorabuena!!!
thank you so much brother! Inspiring
This was my wake up call played on the pipes in the Irish Guards QS
Few can I add to what was already written in previous comments, but still I leave my remark. My compliments, and keep up the beautiful work.
The lowering of the sides made a really interesting sound I'd not heard from a hammered dulcimer before!
Those are dampers, which are an accessory on some dulcimers.
it's awesome....i'm lovin' it!
aåaaaäÄÄAÄÄÄQA
Spitzenklasse! Tolle Interpretation!
This is magnificent !
STUPENDO😍
Imposible expresar en palabras la belleza del sonido, la interpretación, y mas que impresionante su habilidad. Un placer haberme deleitado con su música. Muchas gracias, espero muchas personas puedan apreciar y disfrutar su música.
🎉❤ beautiful
Love it! I wasn't aware of this lovely tune, but have just been sent, by mistake, a copy of James Galway's version, on flute. Yours is the second rendition I have heard. Now the search for a guitar effort lol
awesome job
Love it :)
AMAZING!!
I play this on flute and whistle and this is stunning.....100%
Heyold man i heard best cover ever man good job !
Merci #Metalliquoi :)
Wooow!
Прекрасный инструмент, потрясающее звучание! Великолепное исполнение, браво! ❤
Thanks😁
So Sweet and beautiful.
Love the change at 1:45.
Anyone knows more about the technique this player uses at 1:45 to produce this sound ?
So strange... seems like it is hitted on the wood 🤯☺️
It's a special damper system some hammered dulcimers have nowadays; some people use it to stop the ringing, but I tend to use it just occasionally to get that special effect. (I recorded in a 'live' reflective room so it has some natural reverberation, too. manufacturing.dustystrings.com/hammered-dulcimers/options/dampers
❤️👏
Thats amazing. :O
Божественно!!!
I would really like to learn this song! I have already learned to play your canon fantisia on my dulcimer, and I want to play Brian Boru's March but I can not find the sheet music for it. Do you have it available? Thanks!
Amazing! This guy looks to have only two arms. But I'm sure there are more hidden.
I'm looking for lessons, if your willing to obliged. I'm in the southern Tipperary area
Sorry for the delayed reply! TH-cam only occasionally sends me notifications.... I do give Zoom lessons, if you're interested in something like that. You can email me at timothyseamanatgmaildotcom.
My niece was married to another Timothy Seaman. How funny. Beautiful job here. I have a performance of me playing this on flute with a harpist on my channel.
Where can I find the music for this song? I have been playing hammered dulcimer for around 2 years and I would love to play this song like you do! I have already learned to play your arrangement of canon for the dulcimer. I really like your style of playing and I would very much appreciate it if I could get the music for this song. If it would be better to email you I can do that. Thanks!
Sorry for the delayed reply! TH-cam only notifies me occasionally.... I do have a notation page of the basic arrangeement of this separated-hands version, in pdf form; if you'll email me at timothyseamanatgmaildotcom, I can send it to you.
I actually emailed you a few months ago and you sent me the music, I have learned it and enjoy playing it! Thanks!
@@clatechilders856 Ah, now I remember!
🇧🇷🙏👏👏👏
The bass notes sound a little odd and clipped. Is this normal?
I hope not TOO odd! I was playing with the dampers held down on the strings in order to get a contrasting sound for that verse, rather than all ringing all the time.
I'm smiling...
You should do the ending to "Logic of a dream" By Explosions in the sky, Great dulcimer parts :)
🇮🇪👍🤗
Hi! Awesome tune, beautiful instrument!
Can I use the audio in one of my own (non-monetised) videos? I will gladly credit you and provide links to your site and channel.
Let me know what the content of the videos is, and if the content matches my goals well enough, I'd love for you to use it.
Coastal scenery in Wales, and some rock climbing :)
Sorry for the delay --- had surgery... Certainly you may use it!
Timothy Seaman No problem. Thanks! I wanted it for a Timelapse, Creative commons :) I dont want to earn money of it of course.
Je vous imagine en duo avec Alan Stivell et sa harpe
trugarez bras thk you
im sorry you spoiled it when you put the damper on
I know so many people "including myself" who would pay good money to have you play at a family wedding. its a shame you are across the pond =) (Greetings from England)

I could smell the bogs.
彼女はよくこの曲をアイリッシュハープで弾いてた。
Cat Steven lady
Jazzy rhythm on an ancient design. Not Irish, but cool.
Great piece! Just gets ruined by the dampener.
Just looking for variety as a soloist!
Great piece but, the muting ruins it.
Looking for variety when I play one instrument solo for many hours straight!
