I would like to play for you now a tune which is coming from Irish traditional music,
[C] from the piping of one of the most famous and celebrated violin pipers of all time.
His name was Seamus Ennis.
This tune is called The Return from Fingal.

[C] [Ab]
we are in that Gat, but you see we can also play in different keys of course,
and we are not stuck in one key which [F] is the D.
We can play in A, like for this piece, [C] The Return from Fingal.
What is very interesting about this piece is the kind of drive, the rhythmic [N] drive.
It's a march.
You have to imagine those soldiers, Irish soldiers,
coming back from the battle which was in Fingal, which is a suburb of Dublin today.
And I think it was a victory, so they are coming home very happy,
and it shows in the music.
So when you play this tune,
you have to get this kind of movement within it, right?
So let's look at one point before to play together slowly with a split screen.
Let's look at the bass line.
[C]
[F] [F]
[C] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] You see the bass doesn't have to be always the same.
You can play around it.
You see you can play with it and have a voice happening in the bass,
always appealing and always new and making your tune fresh, as for many, many other tunes.
So let's now use a split screen and let's play together slowly.
