This is a jig called Morrison's jig.
It's in E minor and the form is a B
So we'll play a a b b.
However on this jig the a part is repeated
But the B part is slightly different on the two repeats.
So it's written out
16 bars long so technically it's not a repeat, but it still is
The same number of bars as if it were a repeat
This is Pete Cooper's version out of his book the complete Irish fiddle player.
I'm trying to do his bowings
I'm trying to do what he has written but in this one
I'm changing the notes a little bit in the fourth bar of B
Because I've always learned this
[Gm]
solid [G#] eighth notes and he has [G] I
Just thought I'd mention that because I'm gonna [B] play that part my way
All right
The first time through I'll leave the ornaments out the second time [N] through I'll throw the ornaments in you'll be able to see how plain it
Is without the ornaments?
We're gonna do this nice and slow at about a quarter dotted quarter equals 48 one two
Ready and [E] go
