Derivative Works - Using Modulation for a new take on old tunes

This week taking a more liberal interpretation of the word 'compose' - A few years back I got bored of classic session tunes and started mixing (or in this case, Minoring) things up by modulating them (eg. playing a major tune as minor). One of the tunes that survived the process best was the jig 'Calliope House'. Some time later, I heard about a double homicide at a Caravan Park in Calliope, Queensland, and knew I'd found this tune's True Name.
Played here as a dirge to better suit the theme, but works just as well as a jig similar to the unadulterated version.
Also if you came here looking for a more educational video on how to actually modulate tunes like this, drop a comment and I'll see about doing one some time in the future!

That's an interesting topic. Would love to see a tutorial if you have got the time to do it.

Are you modulating to the relative minor or the parallel minor of the key?

[@EamonCoughlan]

I’ve modulated the melody to the parallel minor (mixing between harmonic and natural minor depending on what I thought worked better). I talk a bit about modulating harmony to the relative minor in the Merry Blacksmith video.
