I have been playing around with Morrison's jig this week. This is a relatively simple song that sounds so great.
The rhythm is a little flexible within each measure. The beat needs to be clear for each downbeat to make it danceable, but can flex and bend within the dance.
Here is another example where the dance beats are emphasized and the rest is able to swing along. That is how he makes it move, while it isn't that fast. It sounds faster than it is because some notes rollick, while others tap the beat.
The other song that is stuck in my head this week is the solo from Mockingjay. Such a haunting melody. The following sheet music isn't exactly what the song is playing. It starts low, for some reason it sounds good to me on the G string and then gets moves up an octave and changes key I think with the Choir. Great song. Give it a try.
