Henrik W. Christmas gift for Susan & Dick. (39) Tune Add: HOME BY BEARNA 26 Nov 98


I noticed that the tune for "Home by Bearna" is missing from the database, so here it is (in ABC format):

X:1
T:HOME BY BEARNA
C:Trad.
A:Kerry
D:Home by Bearna: Christy Moore - "Whatever tickles your fancy"
O:Irish
M:6/8
L:1/8
Q:1/4=160
K:Dm
D|"Dm"D2DF2G|A2dc2A|"C"G2Ac2E|E2DC3|
"Dm"D2 DF2G|A2d c2 A|"C"G2A c2 E|"Dm"D3D2A|
"Dm"A2d d2 e|d2cA2=B|"C"c2dc2A|G2Ac2A|
"Dm"A2d d2 e|d2cA3|"C"G2Ec2E|"Dm" D3D2|]

By the way, Bearna is an area in North Kerry, Ireland, about 10 miles from Castleisland - it's a beautiful place on the side of a valley (or so I'm told). Scartaglen is a village nearby, which nowadays apparently consists of a church, a graveyard, a mechanic and five pubs. For those interested in the meaning of these names - bearna means "a gap [in a mountain]" and Scartaglen means "the thicket of the glen".

There's more to come in a little while...

Cheers,

Henrik
