Mathematician on Anglo

[jim troy]

A link, please,  to The Mathematician Hornpipe being played on Anglo ?

I have the recording of Simon's version on English Concertina already,

stunning, as usual. good man, Simon.

 

Someone mentioned, maybe, track 6, Niall Vallely. 

If this exists, maybe the name or location etc., of the recording/CD, or somesuch ?

 

 

Thanks,  Jim Troy

Track 6 you were referring to is the "anglo international" CD. Besides that there is a recent recording by Hugh Healy.

Thank you, Takayuki Yagi, for that link. 

I have ordered Hugh Healy CD from Custy's Music.

 

do you know in what key he plays The Mathematician ?

and is it an Eb/C, or which tuning the concertina is in ?

I will sort it, but it would help to cut to the chase.

A great showy tune, and a good tune in itself.

 

Again, thanks for all the help.

I checked the notes of the CD and this is what I found:

"Wheatstone 38key, C#/G#, Tracks 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,12 Wheatstone 38key, C/G, Tracks 3 and 11"

Yes, somehow track 10 is missing. I have no sense of pitch, but if it's not C/G then I think it's C#/G#.

Michelle O Sullivan used to make a nice job of it as well. Not sure she recorded it but I heard her play it a few times in the past.

Hugh plays the Mathematician Hornpipe on his C#/G# concertina.

Thanks to John, Peter and Takayuki

 

I just discovered that I already have that Hugh Healy CD

An Eb Concertina ? interesting. 

 

I'd be interested to hear Michelle's version of the tune.

Peter, if you come across a recording of her playing this, would you give us a head up ?
