Moira: A Musical Farewell
from Mike Workman Hosted by Mike Workman
This music was inspired by happy memories of an old friend and colleague, who died recently. It brings to mind two incidents: an unsuccessful attempt to teach me to waltz during a night shift and a lovely weekend afternoon spent with her and another friend, CU, when I think I learnt to sing Blaydon Races. The music draws heavily on two traditional melodies: Blaydon Races and Waters of the Tyne. I used a version of Blaydon Races found on traditionalmusic.co.uk as a starting point for this arrangement. It also includes the melody of Waters of the Tyne , which I transcribed into G Major. (NOTE: THIS IS THE REMIXED VERSION)
