ChS	Tune Req: The Banks of the Earn (12)	RE: Tune Req: The Banks of the Earn	09 Oct 06
Here is where I know these songs from: http://oldpoetry.com/opoem/printall/Carolina+Oliphant/1 On this site the tunes are as a rule quoted immediately after the titles: "The Attainted Scottish Nobles by Carolina Oliphant, 2006 Air — "The Attainted Scottish Nobles." Oh, some will tune their mournfu' strains,..." but "The Banks of the Earn by Carolina Oliphant, 2006 Fair shone the rising sky,..." (no tune quoted). The Alexander Walker Collection (with the title "The Banks of Earn") is mentioned on several sites. The CD by AL Gillies referred to by Malcom Douglas contains these two songs. I have know ordered it. But maybe I does not give any clue as to the origin of the tunes. I had the same problem with a Capercaillie CD ("Songs of the '45") containing songs by the Gaelic poets John McLachlan,Alexander McDonald and Alasdair Cameron of Dochanassie. They are sung to melodies whose origins remain unknown.
