Stunning." That is a very interesting one. I can see why you would want to call it a slip-jig but if the dance bands of Central France play tunes with this emphasis, I think they would call it a mazurka. Any other thoughts on this? |

Subject: RE: songs with a slipjig beat From: Vic Smith Date: 12 Apr 15 - 04:52 PM Robert Burns was very fond of songs using 9/8 time As well as Rattling, Roaring Willie there is I'll Tell You A Tale of a Wife, Tam Glen, Brose & Butter and Hey Ca' Through. That's off the top of my head - probably more if I give it some thought. |

Subject: RE: songs with a slipjig beat From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 12 Apr 15 - 04:15 PM Freddy, a slip-jig (nine quavers/quarter-notes to the bar - which may leave you little the wiser!) has a "pulse" of three to the bar, or - to put it more generally - three pulses to the phrase. In other words, an ordinary double jig, as the name suggests, has a feeling of two: i.e. ONE-two ONE-two (think The Irish Washerwoman and imagine yourself tapping along to it in a pub). In a slip-jig it's ONE TWO THREE, with more or less equal weight (SORry the DAY i was MARRied) - again, if you listen to one and try tapping along to it, you'll probably find yourself falling into that pattern of emphasis naturally. |

Subject: RE: songs with a slipjig beat From: FreddyHeadey Date: 12 Apr 15 - 03:18 PM Sorry i dont know. Could you give me a little lesson in what makes slipjig? I read the wiki on it but didn't understand. :-( It mentions five beats but I can't see that in AO'B. I learned the words from the Full English track.... still trying to work out when to breath! Extra q Does the beat in Martin+Carthy : Byker+Hill have a name? -121212123 (should that be another thread?) |
Subject: RE: songs with a slipjig beat From: Mo the caller Date: 12 Apr 15 - 03:05 PM There are words in the thread Drops of Brandy. Just one verse though and no more in DT. DT has this song. |
Subject: RE: songs with a slipjig beat From: Richard Mellish Date: 12 Apr 15 - 03:01 PM The Devil and Bailiff Maglynn. Rattlin' Roarin' Willie. Some 9/8 tunes probably have words or had at one time, e.g. Show me the Way to Wallington. |
Subject: songs with a slipjig beat From: GUEST Date: 12 Apr 15 - 02:37 PM I've just fallen in love with the song "Arthur O'Bradley on the Full English album and I am quite interested now in learning some songs to sing that have a 9/8 slipjig beat. The only other one I can think of is Rocky Rd to Dublin. Does anyone know any others? Hard to sing but a good challenge. |
