Tipper Tantrum

This tune was written in August 2005 during Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School. Amy Richter was taking an advanced bodhran class taught by Jackie Moran & they were working on playing along with tunes in unusual meters. (I believe it was a Comas tune that they were practicing). Amy challenged me to write something for her in an unusual meter & I came up with this one on the spot. It’s a repeating pattern of three bars of 7/8 plus one bar of 3/4. (So it’s kind of in 27/8 ?). I’d count it: “1 & 2 & 3 & a/ 1 & 2 & 3 & a/ 1 & 2 & 3 & a/ 1 & 2 & 3 &”
