The Blarney Pilgrim - fiddle tune on viola - traditional Irish jig

Описание: Traditional Irish jig played on viola (transposed down a 5th from the original key to fit comfortably).
Sheet music in alto clef is available in Volume 1 of my collection of folk tunes for viola. The sheet music includes this version, plus a version in the original key (but in first position) to enable violists to play along with fiddle players.

Basic PDF sheet music is available in a collection of traditional tunes at: https://payhip.com/b/Stru
Sheet music with the bowings and ornaments that I play in this video is available at: https://payhip.com/b/Nfl9T

** For a video that shows a close-up of my hands playing the tune slowly, with and without ornaments, you can subscribe to my "close-up learning videos" membership : https://payhip.com/b/NHAw9 **

Warning: this tune may be cursed. It took me four different video sessions to get this recording made, with something going technically wrong in the first three attempts, but ONLY ON THIS TUNE, not any of the others I was recording. (I am not going to play this tune again for at least a few months now.)
