Dan Worrall Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Nice one, Alan! I just found this thread. Sounds like a song to me, what with being an A part tune and all. How about some words to it....it seems to beg for them. Happy New Year, all. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did take me twenty years to write a tune for "The Storm Witch" so I may be some time. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Dunk Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 That is just lovely, if that's a good term to use. Thanks Leo Now't wrong with saying it was lovely, I'll just have to make my way to Lewes and buy the lad a pint; only if he play The Abigail Waltz though. If a certain P G Trimming came along and did a floor spot that would make the evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Barnert Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I finally get to see what my good friend Alan looks like (besides the postage-stamp-sized picture on Anglo International). And do I hear a B section (or at least a bridge) that wasn't present in the earlier version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 I finally get to see what my good friend Alan looks like (besides the postage-stamp-sized picture on Anglo International). And do I hear a B section (or at least a bridge) that wasn't present in the earlier version? I did manage a smile at the end David. The B part was added as a few said they would prefer it with one, although the bar length of the A is as long as most waltzes.I actually normally play two Bs but looking at the recording I have only done one (half a bridge)although it is almost a repeat.I put it down to the fact that I broke down on the way to Peter's house in the centre of Croydon(opposite Fairfield Halls) on a one way system,on double red lines which means over here no stopping for anything. A very hairy experience with vehicles coming at me from all directions,with me fiddling about under the bonnet.Luckily for once I knew what I was doing and within fifteen minutes was going again.

I've added the score (all instruments written in C, so concertina-ready). The piccolo part is a little tricky though :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
