As a performer, having enough music is essential! In the last 2 offerings I sent you 2 Scottish 15 minute sets. Today I am going to share with you my Irish Set. There might be tunes that aren’t totally Irish, however I have found that they fit with the other tunes in the set. The average listener though isn’t necessarily going to be able to tell the difference. So here goes:
4/4 Marches
- The Minstrel Boy
- The Wearing of the Green
- Let Erin Remember
6/8 Marches
- Garry Owen
- Back to Donegal
- Mrs. Lilly Christie
2/4 Marches
- Twenty Men From Dublin Town
- All the Way to Galway
Strathspeys
- Orange and Blue
- The Braes of Mar
Reels
- The Piper of Drummond
- Sandy Duff
Jig
- Paddy O’Rafferty
Hornpipe
- Tam Bains Lum
Retreat
- Torosay Castle
I hope you all enjoy these sets. If you have any questions, please feel free to respond. These books are great places to start building your repertoire:
