@NaziZombiefan82 skill and loads of practice. You can play this tune with five rudiments, but learning them sufficiently to play them together enough to make a beating takes some months of directed practice. To be able to play them and carry on a conversation, years.
this video was pretty cool however 1 observation if I may. I noticed you guys pleyed it pretty fast. I understood it was a rather slow ballad type song. that being said I think you guys are pretty talented!
I jst found out that this tune was redid for bagpipes shortly after the battle of Fallujah by a marine. I have the tune set, and was hoping to catch it somewhere on the pipes. Its a simple, easy tune to learn, perhaps I will post it up soon if I dont find it elsewhere
You are right, the original score is clearly for the piano/voice, but like just about every other tune back then, the field musicians adopted it for their instruments. The song appears in fife and drum music books and so-called veteran's song books published post-war. The same could be said for Year of Jubilo, Swanee River etc, all written for voice/piano and adopted to other instruments.
Hi, there, we're starters on fife, 3 players from Belgium, can anyone put a short video on this here to see how you fellas set your fingers? I mean, this is hard to learn with just a book... Thanks!
Redo it without percussion. The drums were overpowering the wind instruments. Also, do it a little slower and with more sentiment and film it at twilight for a more dramatic effect. Best if it could be filmed on your reenactment company street with the tents and campfires as a backdrop.
does it take sill to play those somgs do you have tp poractice a few times or something?
