The Witch - A Bruxa

A lovely haunting Galician tune. Just right to celebrate the return of the notorious buzzmonster! It is amazing how nervous I get when I am recording myself, even though there is only my cat listening. I wonder if this ever goes away?

On thesession.org I found this info about this tune # Posted on February 7th 2011 by paulg :
"The composer, Anton Seoane, is a member of the Gallician group "Milladoiro" and this tune appeared on the first album(LP) of Milladoiro: "A Galicia de Maeloc" (French label: Escalibur, +/- 1981)."

You can find the melody here: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/4194

Have fun!

Very beautiful and nicely played. In my experience that nervousness never goes away! ;o(

@MegMerrilies thanks Meg! Let's hope it gets less though!

Simply lovely and as you said haunting. I really enjoyed it Mary. Now I need to add that one to my list! I know what you mean about cats...ha ha

[MaryGreenleaf]

@harprdh Ha, my cat is my worst critic! He usually leaves the room when I start playing. But I am glad you like the tune!

Happy harping,

Mary

@Hildegard71 Ich bin froh, dass Du es magst! Aber folge doch lieber dem Link in der Beschreibung. Es kann sein dass Du das Stück unter thesession.nl nicht findest.

Liebe Grüße,

Hi Mary. I like your upload. It has an ethereal quality about it. It must be very interesting arranging music to suit your instrument. Very technical. Cheers, Steve. ps. I record myself a lot when I practice, and this reduces my nerves, but they are still there for the final attempts.

Christine.

great stuff Mary.This tune has been in my repertoire for 3 yaers I haven`t dared to put any thing on youtube yet.So fear not you are leading the way.

I first heard it on an album by Kristina Olsen and learned it aurally but have recently discovered it on Wandering Folk Harp by Beth Kolle.
