about

A fresh foray into arranging traditional Irish melodies. Grey plays tin whistles in five keys: high D and C, and low A, G and D. Three tunes are featured: the jig" The Humours of Kilclogher", the reel "Mother and Child" and the highland "Dúlamán na Binne Bui" (Seaweed From the Yellow Cliff).

We imagine a clear, dark night high atop a cliff, listening to a calm, rolling sea far below. Cindy also imagines galaxies, and feels hopeful. You may listen to source recordings of the first and third tunes, from fiddlers John Kelly and Francie and Mickey Byrne, at www.kalletlarsen.com.

Grey plays tin whistles made by Michael Copeland on this track. There are ten whistle parts in all, with no more than six playing at any one time.

These three tunes are notated in Grey's book, "300 Gems of Irish Music for All Instruments." To view free excerpts and to purchase, please go to www.greylarsen.com/webstore/books.
