Dies Irae but modified following the way it’s composed in The Shining’s Main Title
music. I wrote this tab using a C harmonica. I am not sure if it works on a lower
harmonica (which I believe would be more fit for this song). The first part is
perfect, however the second one may have slight errors and that is due to the track
having so many half notes that are difficult to play without bending, so I tried to
adapt it as accurately as possible so it can be played by beginners.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_nsZ8yt1KA
The youtube link will help you synchronize the notes: every organ note is one
harmonica note.
You normally play the first part then the second and then you repeat the first
but blow a little harder than necessary while playing it.First Part
