Just search for the ABC and process it into sheet music.

The original is in C and E flat. You can get it down to a very small amount of notation using ABC's "P:" control construct:

Looked in vain in the credits of that BBC clip for the identity of the harmonium player. The only time I saw Penguin Cafe Orchestra (early '90s, Northern College of Music, Manchester) I'm sure Simon Jeffes himself played.

Can anyone direct me to a site where I could download the music fOr this tune? I mean the dots, not Midi or ABC. Alternatively, would anyone be kind enough to fax it to me if they happen to have it ?

Thanks in advance

Murray

I found it here, Alice: ABC Tunefinder's Page, though I don't remember exactly which list. There are several versions of the tune around -- people's ears tended to simplify it and the original can be heard on Stephen Jeffis' Penguin Cafe Orchestra.
Blessings,
Barbara

I have a harmonium, and I know I found this tune at one time on the net and printed out the sheet music. I'll do a search and post the link here if I can find it.

I found the music on Simon Jeffes tape "Penguin Cafe Orchestra" and noticed it's been folk processed a bit in other versions I've heard. I ordered the tape from Public Radio Music Source, but I suspect our local folks will have it, too.
Looks like you wanted sheet music tho.
Try this blue clicky thing
Blessings,
Barbara

It was also recorded by Patrick Street (That's a band not a person) on their album "Irish Times".

I have 3 versions in ABC format. If you want them in that format write me and I'll send them through. Otherwise I can translate them to staff and create gifs and send them.

write me [e-mail]
