Brian - I agree that Ewan's '4-Loom Weaver' has a fine dramatic tune, which would appeal to us as folk-oriented people [I know you will understand what I mean by this]: but I don't think that sort of 'soaring Dorian-ness' is the sort of thing to appeal, melodically, to a Victorian Noncomformist minister's wife as melodic, but rather as a sort of recitative. Our ears are attuned to a certain kind of air, which non-folkies just don't get: — my father, just for a for instance, could never even hear any tune whatever in Fanny Blair, which I think has one of the most magnificently scary tunes of the lot of them.
