Digital Tradition Mirror

This notation is pretty simple; dark circles mean covered holes; empty circles mean uncovered holes; a '+' below means to blow harder to get the upper octave; a '#' below means this note is too low for the whistle chosen and you'll have to fake it :) The author of this program always plays accidentals by closing holes, so you'll never see half-covered holes.

When I was starting, I found notation like this to be very helpful, and I know plenty of people who have trouble reading music who find this notation easier. Good luck!

Hussa for Liberty
(George K. Jackson)

Come lads, your glasses fill with glee
And drink a health to liberty
     Huzza! Huzza! Huzza!
     Huzza! Huzza! Huzza!

Hail ye heroes, wise and bold
To future times your names be told.

Youth descended from such sires
Feed, feed, feed the sacred fires.

The fires which warm Columbia's race
And shine with luster in each face.

Free-born sons no chains will bear
But those of love we'll gladly wear.
