*Notes:
Mellon Udrigle is a small remote hamlet on the North West Coast of Scotland.
Peter writes, “I intended it as a reel. However, when I tried to fit the 1st, 3rd and 5th bars of part two into 4/4 it wouldn’t work and I realised these bars have an extra beat so we get those alternating time signature changes between 5/4 and 4/4. I think I’ll still call it a reel though. Suffice to say, it is much easier to play than to describe and analyse.”
I think the alternating signature make for delightful syncopation. –AJ
