Analysis of Ripples in the rockpool by Shaun Davey

This suite is based on the life of the Pirate Queen Grace O Malley who lived in the west of Ireland. She lived in difficult times socially and politically. She was a great figure for Irish Freedom. Shaun Davey works with a fusion between classical music and Irish trad. using instrument such as the uilleann pipes

This is my first proper youtube video so please be nice, sorry about the timing of the slides in some parts and I know the reel part slide wise is a bit boring but enjoy the fantastic music

You said in the video that it was a reel, but its a jig.Plese reply if i'm wrong

[daprettypiggy]

@MrKillerpivot I'll check I don't have the book home with me but I got the info from there and it said it was a reel but I'll check and get back to you in a few days. From the top of my head any piece in 4/4 is a reel as a reel is usually in 2/4 or 4/4. A jig is usually in compound time . Now I could be wrong on that but I think that's the case (that's what my notes say anyway)

@daprettypiggy The way I learned it, if you say 'black and decker' to the tune its a jig and if you can say choc-o-late to the tune then its a reel, but you ptobably know more than me.

@MrKillerpivot No it is definitely a reel, i checked this morning, plus if you do the dance table (I dont know if you do but my teacher does) it said a reel is in 4/4

I found this to be the most entertaining song I learned in Junior Certificate Music :)

[Tehkseven4ever]

@MrKillerpivot You learned it wrong. It's "Rashers and sausages" for a jig and "Black and decker" for a reel.
