The Battle of Aughrim

[celticbattleaxe]

This is a b%$#@ to play on my Pan-flute, especially at vivace tempo :)

[MichaelaMcGrady21]

I use this video to play a long with as a piano accompanist for practice!! Great song you play very well :)

[madmax8410]

there are some little tempo changes... anyway great job!

[Varian128]

@madmax8410

Yeah, when I'm not playing to music I like to let the tempo go a little bit. Sometimes it can add a bit of flavor to a song. ;)

[bigbutler4]

so fucking good, keep it up. good music rule the world

[madmax8410]

@bigbutler4 lol that s right! and this song is too cool...

[cathal627]

Very nice, just started playing this myself so you've helped me get the melody of it

[SeraDoll89]

Nice..

[javabart]

Whats the music sheet?

I found one but it sounds a bit different to what your playing.

[GodsWildfire]

Great job!

[darklordmasterthief]

nicely done. beautifully played.

[onionpiepandarune]

excellent playing! Lovely style, you capture the mood of the music very nicely. Keep up the good work :)

[fiddlemil]

it is in the fiddlers fakebook the first song.

[Varian128]

Sweet, didn't know that... I actually learned it from an Irish/Celtic fingerstyle guitar book.

[CelticFiddleFreak]

Funny thing about the fiddler's fakebook- in the book the tune that this sounds like is labeled "after the battle of aughrim"...and the tune "the battle of aughrim" is a few pages after but does not sound anything similar.. Just a funny example of how tune names can get mixed up! lol.

Nice playing, keep up the good work!

:D

@Varian128

regarding the fingerstyle book,

this song is one of our choices in my Classical guitar class in school!!! hence why i searched this. and this is the tempo that i quit elike too. so, thanks for posting this vid and helping me out for my midterm!!!

[Dano94910]

I know this song on the flute. I learned in the Kilteel band. I know slightly different to the way you play it

[Tinymoezzy]

I loved it well done and in fact i am going to watch it once more. You sounded simply sweet and wonderful thanks ever so for the post well done.

I live on the battlefield of this battle!

[jamesblackburnlynch]

For those looking for the sheet music, this tune is frequently called "After the Battle of Aughrim." The "Battle of Aughrim" is a different song in lots of books.

[inktree]

you're so gifted! i could listen to you play all day :) great sound and execution- life fades into vertigo when the bow hits the strings. keep it up!

[vardoeger]

I love sad folk songs, and this one was great!!! loved your playing. Can you give me any tips on music in the same vein?

[Varian128]

First thing I did was get an Irish fingerstyle guitar book and learned the tips in there. As you can probably tell, I don't to a lot of ornamentation for this type of song, because I see these songs as needing to remain pure because of the story.

Look at how professional musicians play and learn about where and when to ornament, observe types of ornamentation, then get good. It's really pretty easy, but I'm good at impressions and imitation, so it may be different for me.

PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!!

[Varian128]

I meant to say that I got the book and then learned the SONGS in there, not the tips. :P

[jenikat]

Thanks for playing this! I love this tune! I play it too but I still haven't quite figured out how best to ornament it! Great work!

[iwishudidntluvme]

this is really good and i love the song! do you kno where i can get the sheet music for it? (i'm looking for it for a few differnet instruments and i cant seem to find the whole song only a part of it...)

[Varian128]

Hey, sorry about the delay... I actually learned this song from a fingerstyle guitar book. But, if you're looking for the entire piece for more than one instrument, I would think that the best place to look would be a music store or something... can't say for sure. I haven't seen anything like that for the Battle of Aughrim.

[iwishudidntluvme]

thats ok... i guess i'll try a music store around my area since i cant find the song on the internet

but a quick question... i do have the song for the guitar but it seems a lot shorter then wat ur playing. did u repeat it at any point or was that the way the song is b/c the music sheet that i have has no repeat signs... ?

[iwishudidntluvme]

this is really good and i love this song! do you kno where i can get sheet music for this song? (for the flute, piano, guitar, violin, ocorina, etc.)

[zaivanbuijs]

Lovely tune :)

[dudziarz]

that`s great

[chaudx]

nice song
