GUEST,ABCD	Silver Tassie original melody (33)	RE: Silver Tassie original melody	19 Nov 25
The set in Johnson's SMM is surely an "earlier sheet music", Mr McLean? As far as I recall, the Pastoral air you mention is actually "The Secret Kiss". I learnt it from this score some thirty years ago, and think it a better match to Burns's words (as well as avoiding the necessary repetition in the more recent setting; same thing as in the "Red, Red Rose" sung to "Low Doun in the Broom" rather than "Major Graham of Inchbrakie"). Good Luck, An Buachaill Caol Dubh, Glasgow.
