It is a beautiful tune, but has a lot of what I call 'closed loops' which make it hard to learn. Also, more of a whistle tune than fiddle because of the fingeings.

Teelin Bay Waltz by Peter Ostroushko was recently mentioned by Sorcha as "one of the most beautiful modern slow airs.". I recently heard it on the radio and then transcribed it from the record Coming Down From Red Lodge. You can download the transcribed score HERE; and the midi file HERE.
