The Whole In The Wall

I found the melody I arranged this week at www.traditionalmusic.co.uk. A  pretty cool website of ALOT of traditional songs and melodies. At first I thought this song had no known author but after some research I found out that it was actually a composition by Henry Purcell  composed around 1695. "Hole-in-the-Wall is a descriptive name for many pubs and taverns, to this day, usually denoting small, perhaps cozy establishments set within a building row. " from http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/HJ_HONOL.htm

It is in the unusual time signuture of 3/2. I hope you enjoy the arrangement this week.


Please feel free to leave me some feedback on the music and/or the site.
