15 Jan 03 - 07:46 AM (#867294) Subject: RE: Old Ninety Eight From: Mitch the Bass Old 98 is also know as Gisburn Processional. This is because when Karples (I think) recorded morris at Gisburn, Yorkshire, this is the tune they used. Is subsequently turned up as a fairly common tune at other places. In abc notation it looks like this- X: 1 T:Gisburn Processional M:6/8 K:G dc|B2B BAB|d2B BAB|c2e g2e|d2B BAB| c2A AGA|B2G G2B|A2B A2B|A2d d2c| B2B BAB|d2B BAB|c2e g2e|d2B BAB| c2A AGA|B2G G2F|E2e d2c|B2G G|| Bc|d2c Bcd|e2f g2a|2a gfe|d2B Bcd| e2e ecA|d2d dBG|c2A B2G|F2A d2c| B2B BAB|d2B BAB|c2e g2e|d2B BAB| c2A AGA|B2G G2F|E2e d2c|B2G G|| Mitch |

16 Jan 03 - 03:48 AM (#868064) Subject: RE: Old Ninety Eight From: mouldy The one I immediately thought of is the Old 95th, (once used as a march past by the territorial regiments of the Sherwood Foresters), used in NW Morris a lot and is also sometimes known as "John of Paris" and "Ninety Five". It's in Mally's NW book as "John of Paris", the name it is more often found under for NW Morris, and crops up quite regularly in other books too. Andrea |

16 Jan 03 - 01:21 PM (#868477) Subject: RE: Old Ninety Eight From: GUEST,chris_mason@linekey.freeserve.co.uk Thanks Mitch -- I think that's the tune I vaguely remembered -- if I'm out by three well, what the hell. I think it fits nicely on the end of the "on board of a 98" song -- both by continuing the joke -- the song end "damn it, I'm too old to sing, I'm nearly 98" -- and musically. Tho as I play anglo concertina my views of what works musically may be a little excentric. Also, my thanks to the other contributors. |
