We Three Kings

Most folk music, uses sheet music as a notional idea, and in the “Celtic-

Folk music” genre the arrangements generally follow 8-bar segments.

The KDM tries to avoid embellishments, accidentals, incidentals,

voicing, or other orchestration notation, as a “Keep it Simple” directive.

The KDM initiative places the focus on being able to play the

arrangements using the six-hole whistles, but allows any other

instrument as well.

All the tunes and songs are played with live, acoustic instruments, and

the musicians who participate follow this sheet music to create the audio

in the Keltoi-Studio.

In this music selection, Shaun Young used an Irish-tuned, low octave

mandolin (aka “Irish Bouzouki”), a Kerry Mezzo C whistle, and an MK1

Low-C whistle.

Earnie Taft provided the fiddle melody and harmony parts, giving it an

eerie, other-worldly sound.
