The first version of "Parting Glass: I learned was from the old Clancy Bros. albums, and as I best remember it seems very similar to the one found here at Mudcat. The Ned Devine version is also enchanting, with its major mode setting an interesting derivation of the older melody. We've been working both versions in the key of "D" to make it easy on the singers, but that puts it in the upper range of the whistle.

Here is my best initial guess at abc's for the older tune(from memory, don't quote me on this):

Q:1/4=100
V:1
K:D
M:4/4
FE |D2 B2 B2 A B |D2 D2 E2 DE |F2 F2 FE DE |
F2 A2 A2 FE |D2 B2 B2 A B |D2 D2 E2 DE |F2 B2 AF EF |
D2 B2 B3 F |AF AB A3 F |AF AB A3 F |G2 F2 E2 DE |
F2 A2 A2 FE |D2 B2 B2 A B |D2 D2 E2 DE |F2 B2 AF EF |
D2 B2 B4 |]

The new version ala Ned Devine (also from memory, so don't quote me on this either):

Q:1/4=100
V:1
K:D
M:4/4
D2 |D3 D D3 C |B,2 A,2 A,3 A, |D3 D D3 E |
F2 GF E3 D |D3 D D3 C |B,2 A,2 D3 E |F2 B2 A2 F2 |
E3 D D4 |A3 A A3 A |A2 AF E3 E |F3 F F3 E |
D3 B, A,3 A, |D3 D D3 C |B,2 A,2 D3 E |F2 B2 A2 F2 |
E3 D D4 |]

The new version almost sounds like an accompaniment or maybe an adaptation to fit the pipe's drone.

~S~ (I'd post a midi, but dunno how to do that here)
