Wizzard's Walk

Post by Piobairi Uilleann Inis Fa »

I heard recently, a fiddle tune called the Wizard's Walk, a somewhat modern tune (relatively speaking) which I am told is a reel. It appears to me that it would also sound very well on the pipes and I am about to learn it. Has anyone else heard of it?

With all of the accidentals, wouldn't you need a bunch of keys on your chanter to play this tune?

I was told to play the higher of the two notes intended for the fiddle, and replace the D# with an F# and still would work well. Awsome tune played quickly. One of those last tunes of the night leaving people wanting more (well, that is the way I felt when I heard it).

Also, I have been told that the last 4 bars are exactly the same as La Follia by Corelli (yr 1699). Probably unknowingly.

Acually, I believe that it will sound great on the pipes and I think the regs will work well too. Got to get it up to speed though. Great atypical excersizes in it as well.
