Thread Name: Songs to Star of the County Down?
Subject: RE: Songs to Star of the County Down?
English County Songs cited above for "Lazarus" is of 1893. In the same work is "The Thresher and the Squire" (17th century, "The Nobleman's Generous Kindness") set to a variant of the "Gilderoy" tune, but it is set to a different tune in The Scots Musical Museum. The original of the latter was to be sung to "The Two English Travelers", in turn sung to "A new Irish Tune" that I've tryed for years, in vain, to identify.
