Jigs from Violet Sky by Helen Gentile & Lewis Wood
Jigs (Helen Gentile & Lewis Wood) - Chapelloise
Ewes In Hell
Wheel Lines
These tunes started off life as one 32-bar tune written by Helen, before it was split in half by Lewis, who expanded it into two 16-bar tunes intended for the Chapelloise dance. Thanks to Doug Watt for naming these jigs - you may spot a pattern in the titles!
Helen Gentile & Lewis Wood are an exciting duo who perform original and dynamic arrangements of European folk dance tunes on clarinet and violin. The duo combines the talent of two musicians firmly embedded into the folk music community in England. Loose, ever-evolving arrangements create space for improvisation, showcasing the interplay between clarinet, violin and dancers.
