I have been playing the tinwhistle for about four months now and I have discovered how much I like the slow tunes. I would like to find more but I dont know the names of many slow airs to find the seet music for. Can you guys give some suggestions for slow airs that you might know of?
Sheet music for slow airs are
Sheet music for slow airs are a bit tough to come by, mostly because there is a lot more rhythmic variability in those tunes as opposed to jigs or reels -- basically it's hard to write out a tune that has no set time signature. The best bet is to learn tunes like this by ear, in my opinion.
Ahhh, I guess so. Thanks.

I'm a beginning fiddle player who is also enchanted with slow airs. Do a search for "slow airs" on youtube for many examples. Also the Session website www.thesession.org/ is a great resource for Irish trad. music,

Pete, thank you so much for pointing me towards The Session website! I've looked long and hard to find sheet music to things like Hills of New Zealand by Cherish the Ladies but until today have had no luck! You've made me a very happy chap :)
