Jump at the Sun + Glass Island + Wizard's Walk - Fiddle Tunes

- I was able to visit the U.K. this Summer!!! This video has some clips of a few of the places I visited, and three neat fiddle tunes: Jump at the Sun, Glass Island Reel, and Wizard's Walk.
Jump at the Sun is an English tune written by John Kirkpatrick:

Glass Island Reel is an American tune written by Ethan Hazzard-Watkins:

Wizard's Walk is an American tune written by Jay Ungar:

They are really neat, more modern tunes! They all have a twist to them that makes them really interesting - Jump at the Sun and Wizard's Walk use some really neat sounding accidentals, and Glass Island has an interesting jig-like pulse in the A Part, given that it's actually a reel. I really wanted to play and English tune since I was going to spend a significant amount of time in England, and Jump at the Sun was one of the few English tunes I knew. I believe Glass Island and Wizard's Walk are both American tunes, but I think they all fit together okay. =)
The main goal of my vacation was to learn as much as I could about traditional music in the U.K. I spent one week in England, a few days in Northern Wales, and another week in Scotland. I went to as many music venues and sessions as I could find, and I met so many talented musicians and learned so much about the traditional music that I love to play.
I noticed that the traditional music seemed to be harder to find in England, and I couldn't find much outside of music stores in Wales. Busking is illegal in many English cities that I visited, and I found it difficult to find places I could play music to film the video without people thinking I was busking. I purchased multiple English country dance tunes music books, and I'm excited to learn more English tunes! Right now, I know only a few English tunes - so it will be great to learn more. Although I couldn't find many sessions in England, I had an amazing time visiting, and have many nice new tune books to learn from. =)
Wales was also a very nice country to visit. I think I will want to plan a vacation specifically to visit more of Wales someday. Wales was beautiful, and even with the rain and gloves, I had an amazing time! ^_^
As soon as I traveled to Scotland, it had a completely different music vibe compared to England. There were people playing their fiddles and bagpipes all over the place, and a session in nearly every bar/pub. The Malones on the Mall Irish pub in Edinburgh (www.malonesedin...) allowed me to film a few tunes on their property in the morning after I had asked. I liked that people seemed to appreciate the music in Scotland.
It makes sense that there was so much more music in Scotland after i learned more about the history and how traditional music impacted the people living there. There have been great efforts to preserve Scottish traditional music, and I had the great honor to visit the Highland Music Trust - a group of extremely talented people who dedicated hours upon hours of time writing down as many Scottish tunes as they can (This is not sponsored! They are just awesome):
www.heallan.com/
I bought 2 of their books and a CD, and I've been having the best time looking through all the Scottish tunes. =)
I filmed a second video of just Scottish tunes while I was in Scotland, and I'm excited to start working on editing it together! I have so much footage, so if anyone is interested in some of the other Scottish footage, I could make a second video-clip montage video. I'm not sure how well this one will go over, so I'll see how it goes. It's something a bit different from the other content I've made...I think it's important to change things up a bit every-now-and-then to keep things interesting.
Thank you for watching, and I hope you have a good rest of the week! =)

Oh your fiddle playing is grade A+++. You are so talented and beautiful ❤❤❤. Your smile just warms my heart. I always look forward to watching your videos.
It always makes me happy when you smile - it is infectious. Keep it up!
Amen
LOVE IT! EVERY THING! THE DESTINATION, THE SMILE, THE MUSIC EVERYTHING!!!
Beautiful medley and footage! You’re the best!
Wow, you hit a lot of sights! Treasure the memories. Please let us know if you ever come to Portugal.
2:20 (wizards walk)
Ignore this, I’m learning this tune and was just marking the time so I could listen to it 😋
Hey bluestars, warrior cats, right!?
@@sketchyburgers1066 Haha yea, well not anymore loll
@@catraapplesaucemeowmeow9540 noooo, bluestar has been lost, a sad day 😔
It's been a while since I've heard wizards walk. My brother and I used to play it as a duet. Thank you for letting me relive fond memories
Thanks for taking me on your trip.
three of my all time favorite fiddle songs stacked into one youtube video! pure magic!
Thank you, it's beautiful ! The trains dancing to the violin never fail to make me smile.
Please !!! Jump at the sun tutorial. Please!!! Please!!! Please!!! It's a very beautiful tune that everyone wants to learn. You have an awesome job. Regards from Peru!!!
Beautiful
You are literally the coolest.
Hi Katy!I'm glad to see you made a trip to see us in the UK. There is a lot of years of history in this country, old history, whereas in America the history is more modern history. If you can come again visit Ireland, the music there oozes out of the pores of the people, and buskers are every where.Sorry the weather was not too good, but we get what is left of your weather after it has crossed the Atlantic.I hope you can find some worthy tunes on your CDs and in the tune books to dazzle us with your dexterity.I do hope you can come again, and find more music in England, there are many fine musicians, playing and singing here.Yours Peter Leonard
Maybe you need to take a look at where your ancestors come from ...
Hi there,
I'm half Irish, and half Italian, so tell me which bit of American history, did my forebears destroy?
Actually I was trying to say that there is still,a lot more in the UK for Katy to see, than she managed on this visit.
I was not trying to disparage America in any way. For instance how many Motte and Baileys did the Normans build in New England, following there invasion of Britain in 1066?
'There invasion' should have read 'their invasion'
Hurricane G-E-L! That is OK. I feel similarly about the UK. I don't take to criticism well either.
I know America has a great history, dramatic scenery, and natural wonders, and a very interesting mix of people.
The UK has just a little more going back in time, and on a much smaller scale.
We are packed into a mini, while you are in a stretched limousine.
Peter
This isn't intended to provoke any ire, and I hope it won't. I just think some reflection on the comments made earlier may be in order. The musical melting pot is one thing, but European colonialists, British, French, Dutch, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian ... and others, have had a very destructive effect on America ... ask a Native if you know one? We invaded America ... we didn't discover it. Katy, my sincere apologies for posting this on your wonderful music channel. It's not something I would normally do. I just hope it may provide some people with a little food for thought. Thank you for your wonderful music, and inspirational playing. Look forward to hearing lots more!
Thank you, for the wonderful, virtual tour with beautiful music 🎶👍🎻
Quite the trip around the sceptred Isle. Conwy, Glenfinnan and plenty of weather. I'll bet there were a few fiddler's rallies along the way too.
What a wonderful trip for you! We live in Wales, but spend several months over the summer in the Highlands of Scotland. The young musical talent up there is amazing! A friend is just moving there from England & says her 8yr old son will have the opportunity in school of learning up to 4 instruments if he wants to -not the case in England or Wales....I am not a very good or advanced fiddle player, but buy a new fiddle book every time I go up to Scotland!😁
Wonderful musicianship and pictorial display. Thanks for sharing that with us! Wonderful video!
Thank you so much for watching and listening! =)
This is so awesome! Seeing these places, even on video, is fantastic. The real treat is getting to hear the amazing skill and dedication come through in your playing :) Thank you so much for sharing these, as they keep me motivated to learn to play my own violin. You truly have a gift, and I am thankful that you also have the kindness to share it with the world!!
Salutations from Florida
Keep on Keeping on. best
ever that I have heard!!!!!!
THe golden stud
I just have to say......I love this video and song! !! 😁😁The songs sound so good together!! It makes me so happy when I listen to this and watch you and your sweet smile!!
You are such a talented and great person! So happy you spent an amazing time in Scotland!
You made my feet lighter with this one. Thank you.
Thanks for taking us on your vacation with you!
You should hit Scotland at some point, loads of pubs host fiddle jams, it's a good place to learn new music. :)
Thank you Stephanie-louise! I did get to visit Scotland! I learned a lot of music there! I really like Scotland! =)
Hot fiddle on "Jump"....Love that modulation !! lol
That was awesome. I recognized the last tune from Jay Ungers Lovers Waltz CD. For some reason that piece seems it would fit a silent movie...where the hero was trying to rescue a damsel in distress.
2:30 wat are those birds called they are such cuties lol 😂 so cuuttee 💖💖🥺
Those are barn swallow chicks! The adults are beautiful birds too, and just as cute!
You have immense talent. I played Celtic for years and later English ballads/folk tunes and we could never seem to find the right fiddle player. I'm in Boston, but I have a lot of very good friends in England, you might want to check out the West Country next time, because that is where all the good traditional music is, as well as folk clubs and festivals and the like.
I recognized Rhos-on-Sea in the video! Those are three challenging tunes. Kudos for syncing the tempo so ably in the live segments.
That was awesome Katy; thanks for taking us along for the ride!! Wish I could have been there too!!
Thank you for watching and listening! =) I wish I could go back right now...It's such a neat place over there. ^_^
I hope the next time you visit Glasgow, I can catch you perform somewhere!!
I'm so glad you had such a good time while you were here. Scotland is the best!!
What an amazing experience! Thank you for sharing. I love traditional Scottish music, so anything you do with your related footage would get a watch and a smile from me. :-)
i love this video , do more videos like this
Que hermosos lugares y que música tan maravillosa nos regalas!!!! Gracias!!!!
This video is superb, the music sublime. Thank you for sharing your superlative talents!
I've just discovered your channel! I love you!
Too cool! I've always wanted to visit Ireland and Scotland mainly for the music scene (and the natural scenery as well!)
I loved all the music everywhere! It was so much fun, and I learned a lot! And the scenery is really pretty, too. It's very green! I'm used to everything being kind of dry in Colorado, so I really liked how green and alive everything was. =)
Awesome music always, I skipped the UK and went to Ireland, maybe I missed out. Nice time lapse with the mist too.
So glad you got to visit the UK. Loved the video and look forward to more scenes from the UK. If you ever get a chance to go to Ireland, jump at it. I liked it better than England and Scotland for many reasons.
We love you Katy!
Great tune, and it looks like you had an amazing trip!
Great video with great music. Cheers! 🍺
Beatifould video,
Lovely place
👍
Beautiful scenery and music and everything. I love it :D
Thank you so much! =)
Wonderful playing and great video! I found this video after learning Jump at the Sun and wanted to play along with someone. Lively! And I love how you shift to a different key. This tune is played with The Coleraine and another I don't recall at the session at my local. They call it the Halloween set because it's spooky. The rest of the tunes you played I am unfamiliar with, but they were great! I love the little twists that make them so interesting.
thanks for the tour..with a great soundtrack ..and pretty katy..
Thank you for listening! ^_^
Spectacular scenery! My fav, and best vid ever. I love your fast reel playing, It is spot on. I saw where you were in Inverness. I love Inverness with friends there, and my choice to live there. Wonderful watching you!
beautiful smille
What a skillful violinist!!!😘😘
Beautiful! what a Awesome trip!!!!!! $$
Hi Katy! Thank you for sharing this video! I love irish, scottish and english tunes, and the way you play them! I visited UK in july of this year and i recognized some places were i have been to! And please please please make a video with scottish tunes! I was in Scotland only for two days, and it was not enough, it is such a beautiful(and big:)) country! And thanks for tutorials - although i'm playing not violin( i play ukulele, guitar and flute), it is much easier to learn with you, then with sheet music! I have already learned "drunken sailor" and now i'm learning "drowsy maggie"
Thanks!!!
I'm definitely planning to make the Scottish video! I have about half of it done, so I'm hoping to get a lot more completed this weekend. I'm glad that the tutorials are helping! I hope you have fun practicing! ^_^
:)
wonderful, one of my favorite!
Magnific video 👏👏
Wow Katy ... that must have been some travel itinerary! I hope visiting some of the places the music you are so adept at originates from was a good - if sometimes damp - experience. Definitely visit Ireland next time if you can as suggested in the comments, and if you make it to Donegal and the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, you'll have glimpsed a little bit of heaven. I'm a Scot, so delighted to see all the places you were able to visit in the video. Keep up the good work!!!
At some point, when the virus gives a chance, please visit Finland and Kaustinen folk music festival. I guarantee there's music you want to hear and people who want to hear you play.
love it
amazing music....
The music is a like a wizarding world, full of witches and mysterious things!!
World class no joke.
That's so awesome; nice place to visit. My cousin from the Chicago area is flying to Ireland on Saturday the 26th. She's really looking forward to this! I'm still trying to get you to play some Vivaldi, even if it's only a sample piece! lol... 🌞
Great playing & video Katy, next time in UK visit the south west of England - plenty of sessions going on here each week. Sidmouth folk festival goes on for a whole week in the summer with plenty of sessions! Kind regards
That was fun to watch!! I'm glad you had a great time!
Thanks for the video Katy, this is great!
Wow awesome Katy :D ! The violin as much as the landscape! I especially liked the first song!
It looks like that Scotland is a beautiful country :D I'll be waiting the second video with impatience!
Thank you for your videos!
Surprisingly educational;)
So surprised to see you visited my small and unimportant hometown!
youre an awesome fiddler, so talented, and thanks for so many smiles from me :)
Wena Katy, nunca te había escrito pero debo decirte que te copié el tema hace caleta de tiempo así calcado y looool ¡¡Este mix es un temazo!! jJjajJa Lo he tocado como un millón de veces y sigue siendo tan bueno como la primera vez que lo saqué, me ha dado muUucha plata jaja eso, muchas gracias
Nice!
Katy on trip :)) Thanks, for this nice tune :)
You inspire me very much!
Thanks for the journey :D
Thank you for listening! ^_^
HOW
!!
Your SOOOO GOOD!
Thank you
I heard well
Glad you enjoyed it!!!😊
Thank you! It was so much fun! =)
Wow! That's great. Sounds so amazing. I have so many questions for you. You're very talented, not just as a musician but the way you put your videos together. I'm from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We have an Expo that just about to start. There's lots of rides, and great things to do there. Can you come and visit? and play for everyone? Also, are you married? Single, In a relationship, you're very pretty. I'm a Born-Again Christian that hasn't travelled much. But I work at the Airport in Toronto. YYZ. I can go places if I want too.
You are getting so good!
Very nice...^^
Thank you so much! =)
Sheffield has a fantastic selection of sessions going on. I recommend also popping over during the spring, you'll find all kinds of interesting things going on
www.sheffieldseshfest.org.uk/
That looks like so much fun!! I definitely need to visit Sheffield next time! =)
I hope whilst in Inverness you found time to visit Balnain House and sit in the chair that once belonged to the great 18th century fiddler, Niel Gow.
Wow!!!!!!!!!
Chills, ty
I really like these tunes and love how you play them! I've been learning them on the flute thanks to your videos :) by the way, how does it work when a tune is written by someone and copyrighted? I want to post myself playing these tunes but don't know what you have to do. Can I just mention who it is written by? Is that enough? Thank you so much 😊
When hearing this I thought pinky and the brain lol
super hit
lovely
Thank you so much! =)
you have to come in summer to Brighton.
Great!
Great tunes, and great places! I would suggest visiting sheffield but well... theres nothing there except industrial museums!
Will you be transcribing these tunes and adding them to your collection online?
Would like to have seen you team up with Kate Rusby and/or Kathrine Tickell while in the area.
Have always wanted to learn the fiddle/violin. You are an amazing player. What would the learning curve be for an adult former gamer in terms of finger dexterity?
You should visit Ireland Katy!
Will you be teaching any of these songs, especially Glass Island? :)
Been rewatching this every few days; sounds great. Is there one set of sheet music for the medley or did you just learn all three separately and play them together?
Fantástiqué.
"Busking is illegal in many English cities that I visited"
I'd be curious where you went and why you think this is true?
I think almost all towns&cities require you to have a permit to busk officially
@@norwayslazinger A few towns and cities require a permit for busking, but generally you can just pitch up and play. You do need one if selling CDs though (street trading). Most have guidelines for buskers on amount of time spent on any one pitch and popular touristy cities often have informal arrangements between street performers. Where a permit is needed it is generally free.
London is different of course, where there are certain area you need to apply and pay for a pitch.
It is certainly not illegal on public land, but most likely will be on private land that is open to the public like shopping centres etc.
katy loved the video and the fiddle but guess what you should have played that music at the stonehenge it would have been lit
+Ajit Parmar I did! ^_^ It was the clip that the crow flew through. I didn't have a tripod or someone to hold the camera closer to the stones, so I had to use a nearby bench. :)
你的黑眼袋好严重啊，是不是没休息好
Yes... =/ I think the dark eye circles were from work instead of the vacation. I'm feeling better now. =)
我的天，本想着中文的留言肯定不会有回复的，谢谢你的回复，我非常喜欢你的音乐风格，国内完全没有你的视频，我也是翻墙无意间看到你的视频，一下就吸引了我，而且还分享有伴奏以及PDF的谱子，非常非常棒，可惜就是每次看你的视频都需要翻墙 囧，希望你的视频越做越好，能够让越来越多的人感受到你的音乐，被你的音乐所吸引 O(∩_∩)O哈哈~
i want a tutorial of glass island i love it
Can you make a tuto for Jump at the sun it would be great !?
