Finistère - slow air on Low Whistle

I wrote this tune in praise of the lovely landscape this video was recorded in - well, almost: the region of Finistère, Brittany. Played on a Goldie Overton Low D.
ADDED: The dots for the tune can be found here: www.ceol-music.de/sounds/Finistere_score.jpg. PLEASE NOTE: In the link there's a blank space in front of the .jpg because YT doesn't allow for links. Delete this blank and there you go!

Very lovely. I downloaded the score though, and the rhythms written are nowhere close to what you're playing. I'm going to re-notate it so I can duplicate your interpretation more exactly. It's so free and haunting. Beautiful.

@fluteguy18 Thanks. It's a slow air without meter, man. Therefore, any notation can only be a rough description of what's going on in the tune. I might have changed the odd note while playing, though.

Good luck with your endeavour:-)

Thanks for sharing this beautiful tune and the sheet music. I am going to learn it on my low D. I also enjoyed your other videos with the pipes. I hope you'll post more low D videos as it sounds great. Some day I'll have a Goldie.

@misstinwhistle I occasionally Chinese tunes on the Low Whistle. In fact, the Chinese Dizi has the same 6-hole layout as the whistle. As Chinese music often is pentatonic, it fits very well on the whistle.
