Natalie MacMaster - The Silver Spear

[nethertr]

The dancing is too exaggerated... I understand that it has to be like that to appeal to the masses, but I don't like how it's helping to further the misunderstanding that dancing = having fun.

[plejdg02]

she is really tall in person great personality

[Kizales]

This has just about every instrument I could ever ask for in music:

A bowed instrument

A lute instrument

A bass instrument

A percussive instrument

A woodwind instrument

A keyboard instrument

A banjo

[jimmbo13]

What is the last tune in the medley. I looked up the sheet music and its not Lad O'beirnes

[Brookie201]

yea, I wanna know too, cause I can't hear it

[daivboveri]

@jimmbo13: if you look up the tune title "lad o'beirne's favourite" you will find the tune she is playing. "lad o'beirne's" is another tune, named after the same fiddler. the confusion comes in that many who don't know both tunes call them both "lad o'beirne's."

please note that she does such a good job with variations on ad o'beirne's fancy, that you might not recognize it. however, there is a dFFF(triplet) riff that she does often which identifies beyond a doubt the tune.

[Reeltimescot]

Don't know where you're from diamachic, but this seems to be the standard way of playing it in Cape Breton as far as I can tell. I'm in Scotland, and know a different version also
