Boadicea, for solo guitar

This is my arrangement of "Boadicea" (aka "The Story of Boadicea"), by Enya. The notation and tab are available in the book "Fingerpicking Enya" (Hal Leonard Publishing Corp.) The guitar tuning is dropped D.

It was in the wrong key but it still sounded very good.

@burnindownthehouse You have a good ear - the original is in C minor; I transposed it to D minor. The first thing I do in arranging a piece for the guitar is find a key and tuning that work. D minor was my favorite choice for this song. Thanks for listening and for the comment!

that was wonderful. it's one of my favourite enya songs, even before it was taken by the fugees and thereafter used by every other artist as a backing track. the arrangement here is particularly superb. and i have a request, perhaps The Celts?

[Deslow5]

Thank you very much! I had no idea Boadicea had been used so often by other artists. I just liked the tune. As far as "The Celts", Right now I'm focussing on the 15 songs in my book, "Fingerpicking Enya" mainly to help anyone trying to learn them. Unfortunately, "The Celts" isn't in the book. But, I may get to it eventually anyway!
