Robin Redbriest's Testament (Malcolm notes: The DT file contains seven variants, several from Greig-Duncan, and will need to be re-visited later. For now, I have just the one tune, from Alfred Moffat's Fifty Traditional Scottish Nursery Rhymes (1933), where it is called Guid-day now, bonnie Robin, lad; midi made from notation in that book. Moffat's set is essentially a much-shortened form of example (1) , with chorus as specified in the file. ) |
