July’s tune of the month has been a long time coming. I often feel inspired by a particular tune and so it’s an easy decision. But so far, no inspiration has slapped me upside the head. On another note, I often flip through the new arrangements of mostly Irish tunes that are published on thesession.org<\/a> in search of new tunes that fit the highland pipe scale. I ran across one called the Curragh Races<\/a>, which turned out to be a tune I already learned from Jerry O’Sullivan at the Spanish Peaks Piping Retreat<\/a> workshop a couple of years ago but by a different name: Maid in the Cherry Tree. What is provided here is a collection of various arrangements to make 4 parts, mostly inspired by those arrangements found on thesession.org, with some spots wholly rewritten; and I hope you do the same: make the tune your own!<\/p>\n

I hope to see you at the Spanish Peaks workshops<\/a> and concerts<\/a>\u00a0in beautiful Colorado!<\/p>\n
