John Wild Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I recently posted this in the Concertina videos and music forum, but maybe it should have been here in the tunes forum. My apologies to the administartors if I have messed things up. At the recent Whitby folk week, some friends were staying a few miles out at the village of Aislaby. After a pleasant evening hosted by them, when we were leaving, there was an amazing red moon. Back home soon after, I found this tune emerging, and I had to call it "Aislaby moon". I did get a photo of the moon, though it is not professional standard. I am attaching here the photo of the moon, and the tune in a PDF file. I hope this ABC transxcription is correct: X:JW1T:Aislaby MoonC:John E.WildW: Inspired by the sight of a red moon over the village of Aislaby, near Whitby, 22/08/2016.M:3/4L:1/4K:F|C||:FCF|G>AB|c-ce/d/|c2d/e/|f>ed|BGA|B>cB|1 G2C:|2 G-GA/B/|||:cAc|f>ed|BG>A|B2d/c/|B>cd|fcA|AG>A|1 G2A/B/:|2 F3|| Any difference between the abc and the music notation means my error in the abc. - John Wild.

Robin Tims Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 John that is a really pleasing Waltz which we found sounds good on English Concertina/s, nice to have a melody in F for a change and that key suits the mood doesn't it. Thanks for sharing it. Errrrmm, shame about the picture, though I get the idea ! Moons are notoriously difficult to make convincing pics of, I find. Must have been a really memorable moment.

John Wild Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Thank you Robin. I originally wrote it out in G, then tried a few transpositions and settled on F. I have a very basic point and shoot camera. More controlled zoom was needed for a good photo. Best wishes, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Tims Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I may well be disembowelled by Forum members for saying this John, but your 'Aislaby Moon' sounds wonderfully atmospheric on a mildly wet-tuned Piano Accordion ( "a WHAT ?" they cried). I've been playing it half the afternoon ! The chords are pretty obvious in the main, but I successfully tried Gm for bars 6 and 12. BTW Have to say it's good too (except I cannot manage any chords at the moment) on a C/G anglo with a pull G to leave a finger free for a pull B flat (still an Anglo novice so that might be dubious).
