Downstream

Transcription of Shira Kammen's Downstream for Violin, most well-known for it's appearance on the soundtrack of the hit indie game Braid.

The entire track is actually composed of three pieces of music. The first is Downstream itself, composed by Kammen, the second is O son do ar, composed by Luar Na Lubre, and the third is Eric Montbel's Borrèia d'Aragon. This transcription attempts to reproduce all of the fine executional details of Kammen's performance as faithfully as possible, in order to provide those unfamiliar with this style of music with a point of reference, but as with most medieval/folk/celtic music, improvisation and a liberal interpretation are the keys to an authentic performance.
