GUEST,Mick Pearce (MCP) Origins: The two Kemp's Jigs (46) RE: Origins: The two Kemp's Jigs 15 Feb 18


Here's the version of Kemp's Jig from the Matthew Holmes book (melody line only):

X:1
T:Kemp's Jig
C:Matthew Holmes Lute Book
L:1/4
M:4/4
K:F
a3/2 b/ a g | f3/2 g/ f e | d c d e | f c F2 |
a/g/a/b/ a g | f/d/f/g/ f e | d c d/c/d/e/ | f c F2 ||
a c' a c' | a c'/b/ a2 | g b g b | g f/^d/ =d e |
f c A c | d c d e | f c F2 ||
a c' a/b/ c' | a c'/b/ a/g/ f | g b g b | g b g/^g/ b | g f/^d/ =d e |
f c A/B/ c | f/c/d/c/ A/B/ c | d c d/c/d/e/ | f c F2 |] %24


And here transposed to (the perhaps more familiar) D:

M:4/4
N:Transposed to D from F in original tablature
K:D

The tune as presented there had a slightly odd structure, with only 7 bars in the B section and 9 in the C section. In the classical guitar transcription I have this has been regularised by an insert after bar 13 in B and deletion of bar 19, giving the version below (which I present in D; this is the usual minor 3rd transposition of lute tablature to the guitar):

X:1

N:Transposed from F to D and sections regularised
