Cliffs of Moher + Star of Munster - Irish Fiddle Tunes!

[@knighttemplar75]

This is awesome you can hear our Southern Appalachian tradition in these old Irish fiddle tunes!!!

[@jay_thestorygirl]

Lovely!! Thank you for sharing your gifts 💜💜🍀

[@davidhynes]

Ireland's scenery and coastline is similar to the Maritimes in Canada. very beautiful.

[@lindareese4579]

Thank you Katie for you really lovely Irish and Scottish tunes..

[@julianaseo]

The landscapes are beautiful. 🙂

[@vpap]

Bravo και από Ελλάδα. Όλα σου τα Video είναι τέλεια. Ωραία μουσική ωραία εικόνα. Σε θαυμάζω!!!!😊

[@KennethWilliamElkington]

What's not to love: the inspirational power of the Irish coast... the lovely Irish tunes... and Katy's impeccable, energetic style!

[@isaacleo]

Hey Katy, I like the way you smile at the camera while you play the violin :) it makes me happy too, thanks for sharing

[@KatyAdelson]

+isaacleo Yay! I'm happy that it makes you happy! ^-^ Thank you for your nice comment, and for watching and listening! : D

[@freedapeeple4049]

@@KatyAdelson I'm guessing that that smile is infectious and that people relax around you. 😃

[@Califishing831]

It always makes my day hearing you play! Then that smile on top of it makes it all that much better!

[@mazdysoraya6121]

I can listen to your music and watching your smile forever

[@stevemoy6063]

Katy your so fun and happy playing, you have a very nice character, your so fun to look at. Nice

I miss living in Ireland & the Craic & folk there paul payton England x x

[@jockellis]

Loved our visit to the Cliffs in 2019. If you are planning a trip to Ireland make sure you aren’t going on the weekend of a bank holiday. Everything is full and the prices are high.

Such fine playing, such a fine tune, such a lovely setting, and such a lovely lass to look at. I hardly know which I like best! No, I'm lying. I like looking at the lass best, despite my white hair...

[@zezezeze2526]

J'adore tout votre répertoire celtique!

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

Hi Katy -You have such an infectious smile. I say that in the most positive and endearing way. Keep smiling and playing. 😊 🎻♫

[@CrownAcademyEnglish]

Hey that was really good! It certainly got my foot tapping - shame that the sheep at 0:38 didn't seem too interested though. ;) Hope it wasn't too windy for you up on that clifftop? ^^ Crown

[@KatyAdelson]

+Crown Academy of English Hi Crown - Thanks for listening and watching! ^_^ And yea...the sheep have bigger priorities. lol! It wasn't too windy. I turned on a fan and filmed it in my living room in front of a green screen. : P This video was made up of free royalty-free stock footage + my cheesy green screen attempts. I've been practicing using green screens, and hopefully I'll be able to do it a little better next time. =)

[@CrownAcademyEnglish]

***** It was great, it goes well with the Irish theme! My grandmother was Irish (from Kilkenny) so I guess it's in my blood. Unfortunately, I have never visited Ireland myself and I don't think going to my local Irish pub really counts :D

[@KatyAdelson]

+Crown Academy of English I'm part Irish, too! ^_^ I think that might be partly why I like it so much. =) I've never been there, either, but hopefully I'll get to go someday! ^_^

[@gunjaking8083]

I'm from Kentucky here from the state and my people came from Ireland I love the way u play

[@KatyAdelson]

Thank you for your nice comment! It's neat that you have Irish heritage too! =) The Irish sure know how to write some fun music! ^_^

[@petebard]

Aside from my comment below, I love your playing. Most people including those at my local session play Cliffs of Moher too fast but they also play Mist on the mountain as a jig and I ain’t never seen no mist nor mountain dance a jig.

[@needsbeer]

Great music Katy.

[@MonikaIris]

Katy, you are the best!!! This video is amazing, I'm thrilled! Thank you very much!

[@sergiyshkurenko8186]

It's cool to play and come to visit.

[@SurfThrashGuitar]

oh wow, this is some amazing playing! hats off to you Katy, keep up the good work, best wishes....

[@DanielECulbertson]

Love it! Watching this video, I just figured out one of the reasons I love watching you play: Of all the hours and hours of video footage that exists of people playing their violins on KZbin... very few of them EVER look like they are having as much fun playing as you do! :-)

[@KatyAdelson]

Daniel Culbertson Thank you! I had a lot of fun playing these tunes! There's something about this kind of music that makes me really excited to play!

[@unicornpoop8353]

I love it soo much I wish I had a fiddle (aka violin)

[@bermiko]

I love this two pieces, you play vert well ! thank for sharing!

[@KatyAdelson]

+Bertrand BmSept I love these tunes, too! =) They are fun to play and go well with a lot of different tunes! Thank you for your nice comment and for listening!

I am in heaven 💓

[@charleshaxell1649]

That’s it I’m definitely subscribing your too awesome when it comes to Irish keep up the good work ☺️

[@Scottishandrewchannel]

loved the tunes and your choice of tempo - i used to get way too much crit for playing fast till i discovered that the average player cant get out of second gear - meantime other fast players were joining fast bands and making it big - good luck - great presentation ...

[@cinnamonapples2296]

Gahhh! I love all your videos so much!!!!!!!!! Beautiful song,plus,I want your dress in this video!(: sooooo pretty!!!!!

[@KatyAdelson]

+Nicole Patrick Thank you Nicole! I'm happy that you like my videos! : D I really like that dress too...It's one of my favorite dresses!! They no longer sell it, but I bought it off of the website, yesstyle.com. I love that website!! They sell a lot of Asian clothing styles, which is great for those who are petite. A lot of my clothing has come from that website. : D I think their skirts and dresses tend to be a little bit too short, so it can be a little tricky trying to buy things without trying them on... But I still love the clothing on there! ^_^

[@amayarye6055]

i think you deserve more than 8000 sub, just that smile need the golden KZbin button btw your videos make my days since 2015 god bless you

[@KatyAdelson]

Thank you! However, I like having a smaller audience. =) The larger my audience gets, the more scared I get to post things.... I guess that seems like backwards thinking for a KZbinr, but it's scary posting something knowing it's going to be emailed immediately to thousands of people! :o

Is there going to be a tutorial or sheet music of this? I really like the Cliffs of Moher.

[@KatyAdelson]

+Jake Aziamov Hi Jake! I've been slowly writing out all of the sheet music, so it'll become available sometime soon. =) I'll also add these tunes to my list of tutorials to make. ^_^

+Katy Adelson Thanks.

[@ayushmehra7667]

Hey katy I am a big fan of your Irish music and your loving smile , I just want to ask if i can get this music sheet of violin

[@theworm107]

Hello from Munster lreland u every hear of Padraig o keeffe

[@petebard]

There are three 6/8 tunes that I don’t think were ever meant to be played as jigs. Fanny Power, Mist On The Mountain and Cliffs of Moher. In Cliffs of Mohrr the A part represents the wind over the cliffs and if you slow down a lot it starts to sound like wind. Give me your hand is another 6/8 tune that I don’t think was meant to be a jig. Just my two cents. Think of the Jazz tune Caravan. The beginning of that tune is the wind in the desert.

[@bazorkin]

Sorry for how weird this sounds, but you've been a great creative help to me. This last Tuesday, My Dungeons and Dragons group was three players down so I added a Bard NPC to help them out. His name was Fiddlestyx and I used your KZbin clips to add flavor when he played. It went over so well. So thank you for your marvelous playing. From audio alone, they got the charm you possess. Meanwhile, I watched the videos from the corner of my eye and kept a grin on my face. Thanks for what you do.

where do you get your sheet music from?

[@thesteaksaignant]

woaw.. I would subscribe again if I could !

[@KatyAdelson]

Steak Saignant Yay! Thank you~! I'm glad that you liked it! ^_^

[@KenMitchell1936]

Did you speed this up? I mean digitally.

[@alexv3357]

If so, it wasn't by all that much. Her hand movements seem quite natural, fast but not sped up (which is very distinctive) and they seem to correspond to the notes she's playing, so I think that she's just good at what she does.

[@briancrehan9757]

Slow down. These are clare tunes. Try listen to where the old clare fiddlers like Bobby Casey put the bowing accents and slurs. Not mad on the backing. Tones of potential here though. 👍

[@pinkitypink6246]

Brian Crehan yes, since slowing myself down after coming back to play after long absence a great difference is made. If you can't do it slowly you can't do it properly.

[@marcusuadonnghaile1855]

[@terenceboyd5464]

Miss the ornaments so prevalent and necessary for true Irish fiddling!

[@gunjaking8083]

ok I'm sure its ireland

[@KatyAdelson]

+Gunja King Yeah, the background footage that I'm playing at is at the Cliffs of Moher, and the rest of the footage is made up of royalty-free video clips of Ireland. I used a green screen to put myself there, which ended up looking a little cheesy, but it was a lot of fun to make. lol! ^_^

[@briancrehan9757]

while I recognise obvious talent I have to point out that stylistically these tunes aren't played exactly right. As a fiddler player leaning toward a West Clare style of playing (where these tunes come from) the playing is too hard and rigid. The key to Clare tunes is long slurred notes with a loose relaxed style. Just voicing my opinion.

[@pinkitypink6246]

Nope tarzan, Brian is correct. They are rhythmically wrong, hard to listen to if you know this kind of music properly. Not dissing the girls ability to play violin but the interpretation of these tunes is all wrong.

[@pinkitypink6246]

And if Brian is of same stock as junior he would know what he is talking about. I've been playing on and off for years and wasn't getting my rhythm quite right until I began playing a few of juniors tunes. They have it right. No, no harm to her, and if there's people like it they like it but that's you tube for you.

[@briancrehan9757]

Pinkity Pink aye juniors tunes slow you right down. You can do so much with them that speed isn't even needed most of the time. Yeah I'm of juniors stock. Thanks for the kind words 😊

[@poopy2010tative]

Brian Crehan How would anybody really know...Tunes written before recordings existed are subject to the interpretation of each generation...Katy is one in a long line.

[@briancrehan9757]

poopy2010tative not nessecerly. For instance the music Willie Clancy and junior Crehan played could be argued to be similar to the way garret Barry played them seem as juniors grandmother was a relation of Barry's thus they would know how Barry would have played tunes he composed such as I buried my wife and danced on her grave, music in the Glen etc. Irish Music passed down by ear from one musician to the next is how we can replicate how the old musicians played. Stylistically features of my music would be similar to juniors and in turn his would be similar to the caseys who taught him and so on and so fourth. That's where the issue of classical musicians picking up a book or a stage recording of trad causes issues as it breaks the line carrying the likes of garret Barry's music. While katy is very talented nd produces sweet music styliscaly it isn't reflective of the area and style where the tunes come from.

[@Kitiwake]

Fiddling Barby on steroids.

[@reidhb1]

Why in the name of anything thats Holy, do you play it so fast and even speed up from that later? What am I not getting.

[@KatyAdelson]

Fast tunes aren't for everyone, but I've usually heard these tunes played even faster in sessions... : o

[@reidhb1]

But I thought you were trying to teach these tunes, I don't hear maybe one third of the notes as they are played so fast.

[@curon-]

+Reidh Beallagh this is not a tutorial of the song :)

[@reidhb1]

Okay sorry. Somebody call Vassar Clements. Tell him he's got competition.
