I need a tune suggestion

I would second? Third? Murdo's Wedding. High Road to Gairloch is also nice.

Good suggestions -- thanks!

High Road (along with Brown-Haired Maiden) is 2/4, though. One of my favorite tunes.

I am not entirely positive what tempo this song is at, but you could always speed it up if it's a bit slow.

Have you ever listened to Dark Isle?

Check out a sample here, along with a bunch of other clips, that may or may not work.

I'm personally in love with Dark Isle right now, so I just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'd like to add that I don't understand what class 5 means, which means that I probably should have never commented in this thread but oh well. What's done is done.

My apologies if I was way off base.

I'm curious about "Brown Haired Maiden." All my life I knew it as "Ho-ro, my Nut Brown Maiden," then whe I started pipe lessons, it became brown haired. Does anyone know how this is?

Ah. So 'tis. I somehow read "2-parted 4/4 march" as "2/4 march", so I carefully made sure that High Road was in fact 2/4 before suggesting it. Oh well, if you don't already know it, you should learn it anyway. ;)
