Subject: RE: Same Tune? Drunken Sailor/Oro se do

G'day Mudguard / Gareth,

I often quote WSWDWDS as the absolute basic form of Dorian mode tune ... the underlying no-brainer pattern for the mode. Different treatments of the basic form give interesting results ... such as Oh! Sinner Man, for one example.

In such heartland territory for Dorian mode (as Gregorian mode #1 ... it persists in any place into dark, gloomy, conservative Catholicism ... ) it wouln't surprise me to find Oro Se Do Bheatha Bhaile using that basic framework.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
