Taorluath (movement) (gender unknown)

?

2nd variation of the Ùrlar

Identical types: 2

According to Collinson, pronounced as Tòrlu; 4 consecutive gracenotes: g¹, d², g¹ and e² (from d², however: g¹, b¹, g¹ and e²); Starting notes (with preceding Singling, as in Leumluaths) and target notes are equal; NB: ➺ Taorluath a mach.

A full scale, from a¹ upwards, should give: g²* + a¹-g¹-d²-g¹-e²-a¹; b¹-g¹-d²-g¹-e²-b¹; c²-g¹-d²-g¹-e²-c²; d²-g¹ ⇢b¹-g¹-e²-d²; [e²-g¹-d²-g¹-e²-e²?], &c.; From g¹: g²-g¹-d²-a¹-e²-a¹.
NB: Example(s) to be replaced with staff-notation.
