G'day Mark,

Craigilee is a fairly long piece and it was a section of that tune that ended up (misremembered and / or bent to a set of words) as the Christina McPherson 1895 version of Waltzing Matilda. This tune was severely simplified and 'flattened out' to become the Marie Cowan arrangement of 1905 - the well known version.

I have the relevant portion of Craigilee, Then quick march Australian arrangement that Christina heard at Warrnambool Races in 1893, Christina's manuscript copy and Marie Cowan's version on a single musicTime file I created to compare and study. I could send you (if you were a member, and thus had a private page ... or to a private e-mail) a black & white GIF of the music and / or a MIDI file of the same.

I believe I also have a full transcription of Barr's Craigilee in MusicTime as well, so I can also image that or send a MIDI - if I have an address that can accept an attachment. I am just heading out to an editorial conference for the Bush Music Club's magazime Mulga Wire, but I will check when I get back - and put a tracer on this thread.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
