Stone of Destiny

“Stone of Destiny” is a beautiful reel composed by fiddle player Maurice Lennon (son of the great Ben Lennon from Leitrim, and nephew of the famous composer Charlie Lennon). I learned this tune from my friend JB, a great fiddle player from Britanny. Liam O’Brien, a wonderful concertina player from Miltown Malbay, recorded this tune on his album “The Lane”.

Watch the video below to listen to the tune!

      Hi “anonymous” 🙂 Thanks for visiting my website and for your comment 🙂

      I know what you mean, however you have to realise that there are several different ways of writing ABCs and there’s no consensus on what is “the right way”. So what seems to be a beginner notation for you would make no sense to someone else… The digital ABC notation (the one I use on this site) is really the most common way of writing ABCs online and it allows the ABCs to be interepreted by various softwares that can play them for you, generate sheet music, etc. (softwares like ABC Navigator, etc.).

      If you use online resources to learn tunes, I would highly recommend getting familiar with the digital ABC notation. You can find all the explanation here: https://abcnotation.com/ . It’s really not that tricky and you’d get used to it fairly fast!

      I do provide “classic” ABCs on request to my subscribers on Patreon though, so feel free to join and support there: https://www.patreon.com/tunesfromdoolin

      Best regards from Doolin and thanks again,
      Charles

Dowd’s Favourite

“Dowd’s Favourite” is a very beautiful reel which I associate with the playing of Paddy Carty. It is also simply called “Dowd’s” or “O’Dowd’s” and was recorded by Tommy Peoples on his album “The Iron Man”. I am not really sure where I originally learned this tune though, I think it might have been from my friend Damian Werner.
