Helen	Tune Origin: Ffarwel i Marian (10)	RE: Tune Origin: Ffarwel i Marian	06 May 17
Hi all, One of our session members brought this tune along so now it is on our playlist. We have discussed the title a bit. I also looked at the discussion on The Session about it: Ffarwèl i'r Marian From what I can gather, "Ffarwèl i'r Marian" is "farewell to the shore" and is a tune but "Ffarwèl i Marian" is "farewell to Marion" and it is a dance. I might be wrong, but I have made the assumption that Marian meaning shore may be somehow derived from the word marine, i.e. related to the sea. Many versions on YouTube: Ffarwèl i'r Marian - mandolin quartet Ffarwèl i'r Marian - Dominig Bouchaud on Celtic harp Helen
