Good job Mark.

This is a very classical sounding piece of music even more so, when played at this speed.

I've heard some folks say it bears a striking resemblance to one of the Mozart Horn Concertos, although apparently the Mozart version is in a major key.

De Dannan certainly made a great job of it on their album 'The Star Spangled Molly'

Cheers,

Dick

I hadn't thought about the Mozart connection, but I can certainly hear it in my head. Thanks for the comment.

Wow this is lovely setting of this tune. I'd like to get those notes you're using to backup the melody, so I can figure out the chords to get this effect. It does sound baroque and in the nicest possible way.

Very clean performance !

Thanks so much for posting.
