Dancing At Lughnasa

[Dan Stener]

Hello,

 

I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to find a chart or a midi that can be converted into a chart for the tune "Dancing At Lughnasa." I am referring specifically to the song in the movie to which the sisters are dancing in front of their cottage.

 

I seem to recall that this is a variation of a "standard" - the name of which I have also forgotten.

 

I will appreciate any and all assistance/referrals.

 

Be Well,

 

Dan

Dan,

I did some searching and found this web-page, indicating that it was composed for the film by Bill Whelan.

The title track, "Dancing at Lughnasa" is composed for traditional ensemble

On the other hand I found in JC's ABC tunefunder a traditional titled "Lughnasad Dance"

 

Maybe you can find more relevant material in this Google result.

Hello Henk,

 

Thanks for your reply and suggestions. Regrettably, nothing produced the tune that I want. The tune on the ABC search site is something quite different.

 

Your mention of Bill Whelan, however, planted an idea and I have submitted a request for a chart via his web site.

 

Thanks for prompting that action.

 

Be Well,

 

Dan
