I believe this is a traditional tune, but I’m not sure. I learned it from uilleann piper Seamus Ennis or Liam O’Flynn (or both).

Midi demo written in vi on a Linux laptop.

Piano music created at the command line on a Linux laptop.

These are the first tunes I composed after switching from performing to writing. I don’t own a piano, but I was inspired by David Nevue piano playing, which I heard by chance one night on the radio.

Written with LilyPond on Linux and vi text editor and exported to midi.
Midi tweaked with Midge (Perl script).
Audio rendered to wav with TiMidity++ and piano sound font.

very cool,, i like this a lot,,, and i do use a midi keyboard for much of my work,,, but i would always say that there's noting like a good acoustic piano in a large airy room with high ceilings and beautiful light,,, the way the notes dance about the room and tickle the ear is pure pure magic,, very nice Doug
