The Banshee – traditional Irish reel on viola

It's been a little while since I recorded any traditional tunes so I've been making a little batch of them.

Here's the first one – the Banshee, a very popular reel.

This version is played in a key that is optimised for viola, so it is a 5th lower than what would normally played by traditional fiddle players.

The sheet music for this version, plus a version in the original key for playing along with the violins, is in my pdf book of traditional tunes for viola, available at http://folkviola.co.uk – this tune is in Volume 1 (here's a direct link to the sheet music purchase page: https://payhip.com/b/Stru )

**NEW! Sheet music with the bowings and ornaments that I play in this video is available as part of a discounted sheet music bundle of ten tunes, Folk Viola Bowings and Ornaments Book 1: https://payhip.com/b/Nfl9T **
