Midnight Sun

Yesterday I picked up the following:
The Classic Guitar Collection Volume One - Four Easy Pieces (Joseph Kuffner)
Frankly it was easy, and dull and uninspiring. I didn't have time to rack my brains to find a way to bring it alive. I actually don't like much music from this era. I love baroque, rennaissance, early, mediaeval and so on, and I love romantic and modernism and 20th century and minimalism. I hate almost all classical though. No idea why, I just find it twee, dry, flat, monotonous, and some of the cadences Mozart uses induces a negative physical reaction in me. I think I'd rather listen to rap.
Anyway, that done I scooted out of the door up to Seussical rehearsal where we are still bashing through the music, which is growing on me with every small bit of exposure.
Today:
The Four Winds (Matt Seattle) - Midnight Sun Waltz (mandolin)
I originally tried it on a guitar but it lacked a certain something. It's intended as a duet for violins so I took the easy step of doing it for mandolin. The result is here:

It's a brittle sound, and with a couple of errors considering it's practically sight reading, but a lovely lilting melody. I may do this with my lil' sis' on fiddle when I next see her.
