the Feadanaigh Epic

                        \"We are the music makers,
                      and we are the dreamers of dreams,
                        wandering by the lone sea-breakers,
                    and sitting by the desolate streams.\"

                                    -  Arthur O'Shaughnessy

        the Feadanaigh Epic is my long term project, which consists
        of three parts.

           + Wind on the Moors
           + Whistler's Bride

        Feadanaigh is old Eire and translates as Whistle Player

                             Wind on the Moors

                     Close your eyes. Hear the wind
                      on the moors. Feel the
                      timid twilight giving just
                      enough light to see by.

                     The lights from the several
                      roundhouses that form the
                      celtic village.

                     The feadanaigh has arrived, and
                      the dancing will be good tonight.

        In this tune I search the mythical sound of Uillean and
        Irish low whistles. The orchestral/synthy background idea
        was stolen from Bob Whelan.

        This song consists of three kinds of parts, slow air (a bit
        like Irish lament), strathepy and reel.

        As the Air gives way to Strathepy and then Reel,
        more instruments join in.

        Strathspey is a form of Irish dance with a special rythm.
        It consists of two dotted eights and two sixteenths. The
        rythm is full of energy, yet somehow holding back until
        it reaches the climax, and the dance changes to Reel which
        runs in plain 4/4.

                                   ___

        (The Riverdance influence is plainly visible. I almost
         feel ashamed when I compare it to 'Reel around the Sun'.
         anyway, no conscious copying here.)

        I am starting to have problems with the channel and sample size
        limitations of the GUS. I find myself using GUS MAX software
        mixing more than hardware mixing nowadays.
