Splendid Isolation Reel - bluegrass style
May 8, 2020
I took “Splendid Isolation Reel” out for a bluegrass stroll since all the pubs and churches are closed. This Brendan McGlinchy tune is Irish down to its bones, and I think you can still hear that even through the blue notes and syncopation here... a fun project for me to try to squeeze it into an American costume for this arrangement.
And I even notated it for you! You can grab that right here - my gift because I hope the title makes you giggle, and we all need to giggle right now.
You can also find the basic sheet music for the Irish version in nine different keys/modes here.
