The Spruce in September

by Helen Bell

This tune was composed as part of a collection of brand new 48-bar jigs, as there seemed to be a global shortage of these relative to the number of dances that require them. The full collection is available from https://www.petrichordia.com/48-bar-jigs.php.

Helen Bell is a singer-songwriter, composer and violist. Amongst various other musical activities, she runs a website which helps violists to access traditional music (folkviola.co.uk), where she publishes arrangements of traditional tunes as well as her own compositions. Her tunes almost always start life on the viola, and are published on her website as alto clef sheet music for viola players (but she also provides treble clef transpositions for everyone else!)
