Thread Name: The folk 'process' and tunes
Subject: RE: The folk 'process' and tunes
The point I am trying to make,is that composer does if he so wishes,have the right and can insist,if his music is altered,That the piece is not recorded in a particular way,this can apply to tunes in the folk repertoire.
it is only courtesy to notify the composer and send him a recording before it is put out for sale.
supposing someone had wriiten a 32 bar jig,with the first part having c naturals,and the second part having c#,and some berk alters the cnaturals to c sharps and thus completely alters the flavour of the tune,the composer has a right to say your making a pigs ear of the tune,you cant record it.
neillidh Boyle felt that way about what people had done to his composition,no wonder he called it jungle music.
Neilidh Boyle had more talent and technique than most other musicians of his time.
