StuartEstell Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Here's a recording of The Prickleye Bush / The Maid Freed from the Gallows I made a little while ago, learned (loosely) from Nic Jones's version. https://soundcloud.com/lachenaliamusic/the-prickleye-bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 You are in good voice on this one Stuart, I enjoyed it very much. Would you care to discuss your approach to the harmony on this song? Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartEstell Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Don -- thanks for listening. I played a lot of this in the overlap between the two sides, which isn't huge on my Jeff duet; the overlap is just a minor 7th from middle C to the Bb above. I was holding down an open fifth D and A (above middle C) in the left hand as well as whatever bass notes presented themselves with the remaining fingers. Then it was simple 1-4-5 harmony in the right hand, with bits of the melody as well. I confess it wasn't an arrangement I thought a great deal about -- it's one of those songs I tend to treat fairly improvisationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
