ChS Lyr Req: A Woman to Her Husband Killed at Culloden (15) RE: Lyr Req: A Woman to Her Husband Killed at Culloden 27 Jul 05

I am now in possession of a copy of Captain Fraser's Collection (fac-simile reprint of the 1874 Edition).
I wonder if the reproach made by John Lorne Campbell to his version of "Mo run geal og" apply to both editions -1816 and 1874.
The 1874 edition gives, in fact, two versions of that tune:
-page 85: the 1st version (which I used for my arrangement)
-page 96 (Chapter "Additions from original 1816 Edition"): a 2nd version which is beautiful and poignant and , by far, superior to its predecessor. It is now the background music for the page

(where your different remarks are embodied, making of this page one of the best documented of the site).
