18 Aug 01 - 12:04 PM (#530794) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Star O' The Bar From: GUEST,Roger But does anyone have the chords for this great song? |
21 Aug 01 - 04:47 PM (#532732) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Star O' The Bar From: Malcolm Douglas Ah, thankyou Tattie; it's The Fair Flower of Northumberland tune. There's a link to a midi of the tune in its hymn-book incarnation as Stowey in this thread: anyone know this song?????? - knight won his spur. It's a little different from the tune as you give it, so I'll see if I can make a useful revised midi for this song, based on your notes, when I get back from the pub. |
21 Aug 01 - 09:06 PM (#532898) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Star O' The Bar From: Malcolm Douglas I've done a first draft: Star of the Bar. In some places, I've moved notes into the higher octave because it seems logical; if that's wrong, please let me know and I'll modify it. Once it's finished, I'll put a link to it in the other thread with the lyric. |
22 Aug 01 - 10:44 AM (#533212) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Star O' The Bar From: Jeri I've had a mess-about with the tune, and it sounds a whole lot like Farewell to Tarwathie. |

23 Aug 01 - 09:23 AM (#533886) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Star O' The Bar From: Jeri I've tried the tune from Tattie Bogle's letters. I moved the beginning of lines into the ends of the previous lines. I managed to resist the temptation to make the tune sound more like Tarwathie, though. I've probably heard Jacko sing this, but I don't have the tune in my head. Listen here. Anybody who wants, feel free to grab the midi, mess with it, critique it, or whatever. I'm looking at this as an "if we all work together, we can come up with an accurate tune" thing. Farewell to the Creeks Midi. It's a 6/8 pipe march. Jacko, it is very nice to see you back here! |
24 Aug 01 - 08:54 PM (#534877) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Star O' The Bar From: Malcolm Douglas Ok; here's a revision: Star of the Bar. I'm wondering if one or two notes in the last line ought to be in the higher octave, too (specifically, was the star)?
Maybe that's too predictable. Though the tune is a variant of Fair Flower of Northumberland, the model for the lyric has to be The Rose of Tralee. |
