Well all right then; not really caring much for the "nut brown" tune for those lyrics, I composed another one I like better on my whistle.

I think it's rather inspired by one of the old Hymns I was recently perusing in my collection from the early to mid 1800s.

I put it up on Melody and scanned a printout of the score for your appraisal;

Uncle Jaque's Version of "Avalon" (Draft Score)

My timing is a little raggedy in a few places there, and it needs a little fine tweaking.. but that ought to give you the general idea of it.

I think that 6/8 time just sort of "flows" a little better.
What do you think?
