27 Feb 01 - 03:05 PM (#407356) Subject: RE: Tune Req: King of the Faeries MP3 From: GUEST,JTT I always mix up The King of the Fairies with The Rights of Man; they're so alike. You know the story? The man who was passing a fairy fort and heard the music played, and brought it home to learn it? Isn't there a superstition about this tune? |

27 Feb 01 - 03:54 PM (#407400) Subject: TAB req: King of the Faeries MP3 From: Clinton Hammond Sheet music is completely useless to a grunt like me... But I might be able to find someone to help me with it... If anyone does find TAB, I'd be forever grateful if they'd let me know... ;-) |

25 Jul 05 - 06:33 PM (#1528202) Subject: Tune Req: King of the Faeries (Fairies) From: Shanghaiceltic I am looking for the staff notation for King of the Faeries. The two versions I have seen look and sound nothing like the one I am looking for. This is the version performed by the likes of ASlan Stivell, Cantiga, Altan etc. Any help please. The two I have seen are from The Session website. On the DT pages here I can only find lyrics called KOF. |

25 Jul 05 - 09:46 PM (#1528315) Subject: RE: Tune Req: King of the Faeries (Fairies) From: GUEST there's there's tablature for it at folkpunktabs.com and the tune isn't fucked up, it just has an electric guitar backing it and stuff like that. so it might be the one you're looking for. |

25 Jul 05 - 09:54 PM (#1528323) Subject: RE: Tune Req: King of the Faeries (Fairies) From: Malcolm Douglas The DT file has the wrong title, is inaccurate and incomplete, and is not credited to its writer (William Allingham); and, as you have spotted, has nothing whatever to do with the well-known set dance tune you're looking for. Corrections have long since been posted but have as usual not been incorporated into the database. The midi file at Mudcat Midis is the right tune, though preternaturally slow (concertina.net is better). Stivell, by contrast, recorded it at a ridiculously fast pace, quite unsuitable for dancing. I see that "The Session" describes the tune as a hornpipe; it isn't, strictly speaking, though often played as if it were (or, even worse, as a reel). They now require unnecessary registration, it seems, so I won't bother with their site again. There are better-informed, more accurate sources. "Faeries" is best avoided as a spelling when searching; you will mostly find adolescent, romantic, imaginary tosh associated with it. Mind you, "fairies", while more down-to-earth and sensible, will probably return a high proportion of irrelevant references to sexual disposition along with the expected folkloric stuff. What can you do? |

Thanks to all of you. What a fine bunch of upstanding people. I would agree that Stivell's version is a tad fast, but his harp work is lovely. |
