A relaxed, summery piece in 6/8, though it's more languid than a jig! Named for the small village in the Dordogne region of France where I wrote this tune at a poetry festival one summer.

I actually wrote this tune sometime in the nineties, so it must be one of the first few tunes I wrote. I can't remember the year but it was a glorious summer trip to France. I played at the St Chartier festival for Alice Margerum, a friend and harp maker, then we travelled down to this small village in the Dordogne to play at a poetry festival. There was lots of sitting around outside old buildings in beautiful countryside playing tunes, sipping wine and pretending to be knowledgeable about the poetry, though I do remember getting taken to see Eleanor of Aquitane's castle too. It was a memorable time.

There are two versions, the easier one has fingering suggestions, and the standard version also has chord symbols.

Key of G, 6/8, left hand features octaves, rolled chords, 3rds and separate note runs. The easier version has single notes and triads.

No lever changes.
