Glory in the Meeting House - Clawhammer Banjo

Played for the 2023 online banjo contest. I first heard this tune played on fiddle by Rayna Gellert and was immediately captivated by its mystic vibe. I tried playing it in standard G and Sawmill tuning, but it just didn't fit that atmosphere. Some time ago I heard someone play it in Cumberland Gap tuning (fDGCD) and it sounded just right. A really cool tuning to mess around with, especially with such a hypnotizing tune.
Enjoy!

Yay Jelle. Beautiful. You have my living room vote. Had this on my list to learn and forgot why. Your performance just moved it to the top.
