Brian Peters Origins: Brigg Fair (110* d) RE: Origins: Brigg Fair 17 Aug 21


Quite right, Steve. Grainger notated an ornament on the first word of verses 1 and 2 and nothing else that I can make out by way of decoration - he doesn't seem to mark the bleats. On 'Brigg Fair' there are more ornaments, though they differ from one version to another (Grainger recorded it several times and notated four of them, or so it seems from a quick glance), so 'fifth' and 'fair' are often decorated but sometimes not, while 'glee' is always decorated but not in the exact same way. Interestingly, his son John did something different again, rather less effortlessly.

Thanks # for those kind words.
