Mary's Little Boy Child - Tin Whistle - Christmas

[pavilion102]

It's actually suppos to be faster, I have the sheet music and am tought by a pro, but on the tin whistle I think it wouldn't sound as good if it was fast

I believe that this tune originates in the West Indies. I have tried calypso tunes on the whistle and they sound great, (at least the older ones). Perhaps the whistle is well suited to all folk music.

Hi, Ric. I have heard it done very beautifully with steel drums - which may be part of the west indies connection. It's also hard not to think of Harry Belafonte when I hear the tune.

Thanks for watching and for commenting.

very nice--just need to hold last notes of phrases longer.....to make it more soothing.

Well, I think you need to work on rhytm. The tune´s not bad, but it´s not good yet.
