Notes and Legend


----------------
Other popular versions of Heman Dunh are by Pierre Bensusan and Alan Stivell.
There is a discussion of the origin of this piece on the Mandolin Cafe forum.
https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/threads/34267-Heman-dubh

The tempo of the MIDI is 120 bpm (quarter notes).

measures 28-30,36-38 - the sheet has E (4th string) in 1st chord as a half note
measure 48 - in the sheet the harmonic on the 2nd string is a half note - this
can be achieved by playing the following G on the 5th string
measure 50 - in the sheet the upper notes on the 4th beat (B A F# D) are all
played with the index finger

=== - notes held, length of note, duration


> - accented, marked, stressed
> > > - decrescendo - becoming gradually softer
bpm - beats per minute
F. - Fermata - note(s) held, (long) pause
g - grace note (ornament) - extra note(s) played immediately before (or
at the same time as) the main note, then immediately released - the
following note is usually played as a hammer-on, pull-off, or slide
h - hammer-on
L.V. - laissez vibrer (let vibrate) - let the notes continue to ring
M - ornament - upper mordent - play the main note, followed by the (scale)
note above, and then return to the original note (may be extended)
p - (between the notes) pull-off
Tamb. - Tambora (Tambour) - the strings are played all at once by hitting them
near the bridge with a flat part of the hand (usually with the side of
the outstretched thumb)
<7> - natural harmonic on the 7th fret (open string)
<12> - natural (octave) harmonic on the 12th fret (open string)
