The Mouse in the Attic (Jig)
Written in 2023 after the arrival of some visitors in my house. After composing it, I realised that the first part of this tune is almost identical to Padraig O’Keefe’s “The Bank of Turf” so I had to spend some time reworking it to sound different – This isn’t the first time this has happened with a tune but sometimes parts of the melodies are just there in my head and I run with it. Igor Stravinsky had a great quote about this issue! “Good composers borrow, great composers steal”.
