Hi Emily,
The video Max sent is the one I was thinking of too. 
I asked my fiddler husband if there was anything especially unusual about Moneymusk, and he said some of the string crossings are a little tricky and it's not the most "comfortable" tune to play, especially in the B part. I think that's a feature of the tune, though. I don't know that a written out version exists that would be substantially different? 
As for making it inspiring, I think that's a matter of what the individual musicians decide to do with the tune? Maybe listening to a bunch of versions on YouTube and picking the ones you like best for being interesting is the way to go. There are plenty of tunes I didn't like when I heard one version, but loved when I heard another version.
Good luck!
Meg

Hi fellow contra musicians!

Our community band has started working on monymusk but the version I have (a contra version) isn't the easiest to play nor the most inspiring.

Anyone have a good, jumpy, fun version they could share??? We're working on our chestnuts here in Ottawa!

Emily
