Subject: RE: granuaile From: Big Mick Date: 13 Nov 99 - 11:30 AM Sorry folks, have been incredibly busy. Tonya, if you send me a snail mail addy, I will send you what you are after. You can use either the Mudcat personal message, or you can email me at mlane@accn.org. Mick |
Subject: RE: granuaile From: Martin _Ryan Date: 13 Nov 99 - 08:58 AM Bruce ? It's no. 88 in my copy, anyway. Regards |
Subject: Tune Add: A NEW SONG CALLED GRANUAILE From: Bruce O. Date: 12 Nov 99 - 05:37 PM Big Mick seems to have disappeared. I can't find the Johnny Hart song in 'Irish Street Ballads', here's the tune for the other, the words differ slightly from those you quoted, so you may have to make some slight adjustments.

Subject: RE: granuaile From: Bruce O. Date: 11 Nov 99 - 05:15 PM O Lochlainn's tune seems to have been taken from the Stanford-Petrie collcetion, #790, "Poor old Granua Weal". A close variant is "The Foggy Dew", #58 in Joyce's 'Old Irish Folk Music and Songs'. It's not very close to the original "Granuaile" tune. |
Subject: RE: granuaile From: tonya osinkosky Date: 11 Nov 99 - 02:41 PM Big Mick, I am in the states, so if you have the tune, I'd appreciate your help in accessing it (so would my actors!). Another response to my message told me that I could find the Granuaile tune (to the lyrics I posted) in Irish Street Ballads (compiled by Colm O'Lochlaim). I'm going to see if I can find it. |
Subject: RE: granuaile From: Big Mick Date: 09 Nov 99 - 09:37 AM Super stuff, Martin. If she is in the states, I could probably get her the music a little quicker. All the best, Mick |
Subject: RE: granuaile From: Martin Ryan Date: 09 Nov 99 - 08:13 AM Hi! Both songs, with music, are in Colm O Lochlainn's "Irish Street Ballads" , a book which is fairly widely available still. If you have problems I can try sending you a GIF - or fax, if possible. Regards |
Subject: RE: granuaile From: Bruce O. Date: 08 Nov 99 - 03:33 PM There's more than one tune called "Granuaile" (Graine Mhaol/ Grace O'Malley) The oldest is on my website with two songs to it in file Scarce Songs 1. www.erols.com/olsonw (For other early copies of the tune see the Irish tune index there). There's one in DT, but I haven't checked to see which tune it is.

Subject: granuaile From: Tonya Osinkosky Date: 08 Nov 99 - 03:17 PM Need some quick assistance! I am directing a one-act play entitled "The Rising of the Moon" by Lady Gregory (c. late 1800's). There is a ballad singer in the play that sings a song about Johnny Hart and another about Granuaile. I have the lyrics, but not the music. I could use sheet music or any kind of audio sample of these songs. I found the Granny Wale notes on the Digital Tradition that referred to the music, but didn't include it. Here are the lyrics:
As through the hills, I walked to view the hills and shamrock plain,
Johnny Hart: I will appreciate any direction you can give me. Tonya |
