Composer's Blog

This is a departure from the norm, as it's not original composition but a set of two traditional tunes: 'Soldier's Joy' and 'Davey Davey Knick Knack', which can be used for the Heel-Toe polka.

The tunes were recorded in response to a request from a subscriber and I know them from playing in ceilidh bands. For the sake of expedience, I've used mostly sampled instruments but added some real guitar to add a little 'looseness'. Similarly, I've avoided too much quantisation, so as to preserve the sense of a live performance.

The various instruments drop in anad out on different parts of the tunes to give some contrast and to mimick the way live players will do this in a traditional setting.
