Traditional Scottish Tin Whistle Tunes (Julie Fowlis)

Disclaimer: The title is for simplicity, not all the tunes are scottish (many are irish) and some of them are modern (written relatively recently)

[@jandunn169]

This music stirs my soul and makes me feel like dancing at 73..

[@mediatormedia1629]

I used to play the Bodhrán to this music - I miss it very much!!

[@PokySan]

I keep coming back to this, once it's out of my head for a couple of months, I snap back to this endless energy boom of a orchestrated tin whistle orgasm

[@drewtraver2947]

The only recommendation I'd like to make is that it sure would be nice for us KZbin watchers to have a list of the songs for our own musical studies (Please and Thank you very much🙂). Keep your history and music curriculum going strong and true too. Just so you know I play a wee bit of the penny whistle, mostly Irish music but this would be very nice to play on my whistle. This was awesome thank you, Drew another Florida man from the U.S. of A.

The first track comes from Julie's first solo CD, "Mar A Tha Mo Chridhe" - it's track #4, starting with "The Thornton Jig". 5mins 29s - is from the same CD, track #7, starting with "John O'Groats House". 8min 17s - track #10 from the "Dual" CD made with Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh. 12min 20s - track #6, taken from her 2nd CD, "Cuilidh". 16min 03s - back to the first CD - Track #11, starting with Fred Morrison's "Seanaidh's Tune". 19min 40s - I think is track #5 from "Dual", because of the polkas.

Julie is as talented a player as a Gaelic singer, especially accompanied by such a great backup group. Thanks for the wonderful tunes. Hope she comes to Cape Breton soon as I'll be the first in line to attend!

Nothing like a good folk song from these beautiful and festive countries! It brings such great memories of happiness, kinship and freedom alike! :] Warms my heart and takes me back to the land of my ancestors. :]

[@ontheotherhand7627]

Lovely whistling. What kind is it? It reminds me a bit of a Burke--very liquid and clear, and clearly not holding you back.

[@joekrepps]

I have a Burke soprano D. They’re a joy to play. ❤ Enough back pressure if you want to attempt circular breathing. Not too sharp like a Generation. Good fun!! 😊

[@LoyaltyOfDogsDotCom]

Julie has at least one Burke whistle, acquired in September 2018 and first played at a gig for the Susquehanna Folk Music Society.

[@petejury1654]

Does anyone know the name of the tune that kicks in at 7 minutes 17 seconds? Please help! I need to learn this tune.

I love this! And I'm from the Irish. Did they wear kilts? Anyone? Anyone reading these words? And , did they wear undies beneath their kilts?.. I want to sing this song, too.

simon gaudry. irish never wore kilts.

@@brucecollins4729 Yes they did!!

[@brucecollins4729]

@@Pumpherstonsmith adopted from scotland when irish nationalists wanted to distance themselves from the colonial english.

[@rytheguy1800]

@@brucecollins4729 prior to kilts they wore leine which was the non-pleated precursor to the pleated great kilt which is essentially a leine that is pleated, the kilt just being the bottom portion of the leine that is pleated or a truncated version of the great kilt. they've been wearing tartan clothing for millennia. To say the irish never wore kilts which is just a fancier styling and shorter cut of something they were already wearing kind of does a disservice to the celtic culture.

[@brucecollins641]

@@rytheguy1800 do you think the rest of the world was wearing denim jeans and t-shirts and jeans at that time. irish nationalists adopted the kilt from scotland alang with other scottish culture to distance themselves from the colonial english. prior to the kilt being adopted in ireland in the late 1800 the irish wore the traditional english attire...trousers/hobnailed boots/flat cap and waistcoat.(many irish bands still wear it).

[@paddymeboy]

There isn't really such a thing as a 'traditional Scottish tin whistle tune'. It's an Irish instrument really - it was played in Britain, but not taken very seriously. In fact a Scottish music teacher told my son just a couple of years ago that it isn't an instrument at all! In recent years the Scots have just copied the Irish tradition, in this as many other respects.

[@Stevewatson3]

So is the tune from Ireland or the whistle?

[@angelataylor5241]

Sounds like the whistle is Irish

[@angelataylor5241]

​@@Stevewatson3i think there are more than one tune in it tho

[@Degjoy]

There aren’t really any countries or races. They are invented by the mind.

[@theresonancenook]

I mean I think both Scottish and Irish have shared cultural aspects but ya, I automatically thought the tune was Scottish but uh Ive never heard it so I'm unsure but that's what I immediately thought, not the whistle.

[@traditionalfolkmusic9709]

There are a mix of Scottish and non-Scottish tunes in the video. Since the musician is Scottish, I titled it that for simplicity.
