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.

It's in 6/8 but it's not really a jig, and can be played as languidly as you like. It's scored out twice through, the first one uses a lot of LH octaves and the second time round it's a bit more involved. But it's fine to just repeat the first time round if you prefer.

There is a link to a ten minute teaching video and a performance video (which you can see here in the image gallery). There is a sample of the score in the images to the left too.

There is also a blank bass staff version too so you could try out your own ideas!
