Murray on Saltspring	Lyr Req: Sound the Pibroich (Makem & Clancy) (11)	RE: Lyr Req: Sound the Pibroich (Makem & Clancy)	12 Dec 99
SOUND THE PIBROCH LOUD ON HIGH Mrs. Norman Macleod, Snr. In Greig Scots Minstrelsie VI.336 (+ m., "Old Highland Melody"). 5x4 lines + cho. -- English burden: "Rise and follow Charlie". Greig compares the tune (esp. the cho.) to that of "Owre the Muir Amang the Heather". In the Macleod-Boulton Songs of the North I.168, omitting st. 3, "From ev'ry hill and ev'ry glen"; Bayley &Ferguson Lyric Gems, 202, which tells us the last st. ("No more we'll see such deeds again") is by Dr. Norman MacLeod. Cf. John MacDonald's "Ailean Muideartach" in Moffat Minstrelsy of the Scottish Highlands,etc. The chorus is in Gaelic: Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham [ter], Tha tighin fodham eirigh(pronounced "Ha cheen fo-am, fo-am, fo-am, Ha cheen fo-am ay-rie"), = "It comes upon me ... to arise [and follow Charlie]." I haven't seen the other stanza quoted.
