Celtic Violin - Si Bheag Si Mhor Reference Video

[@maryberyboo]

My violin teacher is going to walk down the aisle at her wedding to this. Our class played it for her and she was near tears.. It's such a beautiful song! Very well played, by the way :)

[@jockellis]

I've listened to several KZbin renditions of this piece and this is the only one that speaks to me of the Irish and their plight. I read the comments and almost laugh at the posts by high school students telling a professional how he should play this. They do this on nearly all subjects, though.

[@francoisbaudvin6761]

Magnifique interprétation Merci à vous

[@Michajeru]

I love the pace at which this piece was played. Very, very beautiful indeed.

[@Magzxxlovescoke]

Shebeg and Shemorei'm only 12 but i'm in this band with 4 others and iv only been playing violin for about 6 weeks and im the violinest and we've came first in loads of competitions so far with that song i love it!

[@owlet1963]

Retaw has his own very personal style when he plays music. That is what makes him remarkable . :)

[@chapinhas3000]

no words can describe the beauty of this music nicelly done!

[@owlet1963]

More than 40 people have seen this and NO ONE commented?? come ON!! It's the first time I hear this piece played so very slow, it is ..scratch great, it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! one of my favorites! Thank you, Retaw!

[@MrIbgrant]

Beautifully played...and a lovely tone from your violin. Thanks.

[@owlet1963]

You still had so much music and talent to share with the rest of the world. You definitely left too soon, I miss seeing and hearing you play ....

[@kilimanjarno]

so sad

[@Astra969]

This makes me feel so glad I've decided to learn violin again! You sound amazing and I love this piece.

[@jockellis]

So how’s it going?

[@nicholaswilkins7499]

Wonderful - an absolutely stunning perfomance

[@leahur8117]

Sometimes there is resemblance to the music oh the lord of the ring, and i love it ! Violin is so melodious !

[@jockellis]

[@GustavoNeres93]

[@Neophema]

I just can't stop listening to this.

[@Finarphin]

Solid, traditional, beautiful. Thank you.

[@owlet1963]

We missed your postings around here, glad to see and hear new material from you!

[@HorrorCosmik]

Your music always makes me smile. Thanks.

[@bobtheslob57]

This is such a beautiful and sad song... I've cried more than once listening to it.

[@jantonisito]

Thank you for this video - it clearly demonstrates logic of the melody and basic ornamentation. Super useful for any person working on this tune (on any instrument).

[@JustFiddler]

love it.... greeting from bali island

[@perumalsanjeevi]

Soul haunting Celtic music, beautiful, thank you very much for sharing the music sheet and background track

[@janni7454]

your music is so beautiful it takes my breath away. i hope you will always share that beauty with others.

[@owluver151]

this is really amazing. i got a practice book with this song inside it and i saw it played by Retaw and it was played beautifully.

[@AlabamaJimTC]

I love it. This really touched my soul -- and it pushed my tear layer up a notch. Really rings true with me. Thank you for sharing.

[@piedpeter1]

Nice! playing with feeling is often better than just playing.

[@nasseroskoui5895]

what a wonderful piece of music and what a great performance. thank you. keep up the good work for the enjoyment of others. thanks a million. Nasser

[@urigeklange]

It's so beautiful ! Thanks for sharing !!!! God bless you !

[@jt890011]

Hey man thanks for posting all your work. my grandpa just died, and he loved celtic music. you play it beautifully and it was nice to be reminded of him. thanks :)

[@Nathikal]

Fantastic! I've been looking for my first 'real' song to learn. I can't wait to get to work on this one. Thank you very much.

[@batypist8675]

like it slow and deliberate. good sounds. wish i could make that! thanks!

[@mersaphireful]

i used to always play this song.... hmmmmm good times

[@owlet1963]

Hi Retaw, listen... We want Mhor..er.. MORE that is! Eagerly awaiting the next posts! :) Five well earned stars and I would give some extra ones if they had any!

[@Fiddlinjosie]

Thanking you (again) for posting this, so I can learn to play it by ear. (Easily!) You have provided such an excellent tutorial! ; D

[@jan4052]

Just beautiful.

[@ProbablySomeKindaGoblin]

So beautiful it makes me wish I had the ability to actually work an instrument correctly so I too could play a song correctly.

[@isabellanakahara]

Wow! That is stunning! Thank you for posting that!

[@CrazyDanishGirls]

Beautiful - as always! Looking forward to the sheet music... :)

[@fbfranbal]

la imagen ,lo dice todo.muy bueno.

[@fbfranbal]

bueno

[@fbfranbal]

me encanta el violin..............pero ellas mas.

[@ravenflame8243]

Flawless. I wish I could play like that :-)

[@evelynovercash1147]

Lovely.

[@o0dominic0o]

beautifull sound

[@arizonamonarch]

Beautiful!

[@Kaa2332]

fed my soul, that was beautiful. great job! :)

[@angryfiddler1751]

I know this is an old video, but felt the need to say this. Even though this is a reference video, it's probably one of the most beautiful melodies performed on violin. I have been following you for nearly 5 years as a fiddler/violinist, and I have yet to encounter a better rendition of Si Bheag Si Mhor in a slow/air format. Lovely work Retaw! XD

[@MrTurtleneckbreath]

Absolute truth, just stopped a bunch of other vids to look for someone who understands this tune. This is how I want to play. I'd sell my soul to the devil. You listening Nick?

[@Agalloch100]

God this is so beautiful, holy balls, made my day.

[@alarie3]

Very beautiful and amazing. thanks dude

[@daverigby23]

I play this on flute, usually a lot faster. It sounds a lot better slowed down, more soulful, sadder, yes, but more beautiful as well

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

Same but only on a tin whistle.

[@MusicOfEpirus]

simple and great

[@MrMasterUploader]

Thanks, downloaded. I will enjoy playing this :)

[@gordonquinlan6596]

Can you tell me where I can find more videos by this stunning violinist? Thanks so much!!!

[@ladderguy50]

whats the song say...beautiful

[@MasterNolte]

awesome!

[@joannemacdonald5400]

Even though I know this is a reference video...I have to say that I actually prefer this tune played at a slow tempo. ;)

[@jgsawka]

I'm currently learning this piece. I love the way you play it. Definitely will be adding those chords. What are you using for backup music? Great job...very lovely.

[@Tomurow]

Wow!!!!!

[@JustFiddler]

love it

[@qinghuahan6466]

Rather beautiful from yur fingers

[@mssippijim]

Beautiful. I believe I can play this, but it won't sound like that lol.

[@RetawBoyce]

Now available :)

[@patriciuslucius]

Great playing! But it might sound more celtic if less vibrato is used.

[@BIGTREESJOE]

At 2:20 you hit a high note I can't figure out. How did you do that?

[@kilimanjarno]

good catch. He played a harmonic there.

[@annapatti1]

@Retaw please send me the sheet music for this please.the link you gave is not working.it doesn't open. message me so I can give my email Id.i desperately need the sheet music.you play so beautifully.truly inspiring

[@adonisballesteros497]

Good day sir, I genuinely love your version and if it's possible can I please have the sheet music for this if you may? Because the file can't be open in the link you gave.

[@owlet1963]

Sadly, Retaw passed away in August 2017 in a car accident. His legacy to the world is all his wonderful music, which helps a little bit to not miss this awesome musician so much.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

Is that a cello in the background?

[@mistice780]

thanks I have a solo contest for brass band coming up. could be faster less vibrato

[@jockellis]

sam shepherd Then it wouldn't have any soul.

[@owlet1963]

@@jockellis exactly! And Retaw was a musician with heart and soul, through and through.

[@danfento]

I think he played on one of the harmonics.

[@Boschkok]

Thanks a lot!!!!

[@annapatti1]

[@finnmccool684]

@AngusTheWolf it's never to late.

[@poposisa]

I just clicked suscribirse :P

[@Agalloch100]

The two people who disliked this don't know shit about music.

[@jockellis]

He died? When? So sad. His music isn’t just played on four strings but your heart strings, too.

[@owlet1963]

He died on August 12th in 2017, 4 years ago, in a car accident. The earth became a darker place when he left. You're right, his music played on your heartstrings too, stirred your soul.

[@chicaquehablamucho09]

[@alammdjahangir3205]

nice melodi

[@owlet1963]

For Seamus F. 16.09.1961-19.08.2009 May we meet again in a better world my friend...

[@christohavenga3922]

That... is a sexy sounding violin.

[@ecwilliamson]

why would someone dislike this :S what???

[@aanna536]

Nice but I think the vibrato spoiled it a bit. It sounds nice in the long notes but anyone playing traditional folk music using vibrato comes off a little bit as some one who has gone into folk with classical techniques.

[@gaboxx]

:')

[@Aprilfly]

painfully slow....... Nicely played but painfully slow.

[@annapatti1]
