Thread Name: Origins: Ballad of Glencoe / Massacre of Glencoe
Subject: Lyr Req: Massacre Of Glencoe
In spite of the many threads dedicated to the Massacre of Glencoe, I still have questions to ask:
1° Are the (Gaelic?) lyrics to the tune published in Fraser's Collection #57 (Mort Ghlinne-Comhainn /The Massacre of Glencoe) to be found somewhere? The tune I mean is http://chrsouchon.free.fr/glencoep.mid
2° Is this tune somehow related to a pipe tune found in the "White Thistle Music Page" site entitled "Great is the Cause of my Sorrow". Is this sentence part of the (translated) lyrics of the song?
3° Is there a tune fitting into the broadside text "Flora and Donald / The Pride of Glencoe". Neither of the tunes above does apparently.
