Michael Kennedy Schottisches: Untitled/Untitled/Pretty Molly Brannigan – Song Download

MP3 Download

Three more tunes from Michael J. Kennedy (1900-1978). The first schottische is “crooked”, and intriguingly ambiguous as to where the melody begins. Michael’s version of “Pretty Molly Brannigan,” a well-known song of unrequited love, has an unexpected turn that suggest an older sense of modality.

Grey: tin whistle in low G; Paddy: guitar
