The Solstice Reel


Recommended Posts

Danny, your link to Horizonto doesn't work

Really? It works for me - this morning from a different computer.

 

An interesting interpretation of it, if I may say.

Of course you may - in what way?

 

BTW it is composed by Paul James, not Paul Jones.

Ooops - thanks for the correction. I have no idea how that happened - I've known it was by Paul James for ages, and I can't even reasonably blame clumsy fingers for that typo!

Regarding Horizonto - my tame fiddler pointed out to me that she plays the descending/twiddly runs in the A and B parts the same, yet I played them different (they're actually one note out for most of the run, so not even compatible!). It makes sense for them to be different, as they're played over a different chord each time, and that's also how it is in the Blowzabella tunebook, so presumably what Paul James wrote... but it's different to what they play! So the dilemma is - what to play?!

Well I enjoyed both,the only shame is Solstice Reel was not five times through,Perhaps on the CD?

Not often I disagree with you Chris,this is the first time,but I enjoyed Horizonto.C part ending a bit different, but after a couple of listens Danny remains one of my favourite players on the English System
