Thread Name: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here I
Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here I
I've been exploring Bruce Olson's Scarce Songs site and some associated abc files, and have had some success in finding his abc's of songs he has submitted. (Quotes from Bruce's site are in italics)

27 AILEEN A ROON 7 - [EILAROO7
28 AILEEN AROON - [EILAROO2
29 AILEEN AROON 3 - [EILAROO3
30 AILEEN AROON 4 - [EILAROO4
991 EILEEN AROON 5 - [EILAROO5
992 EILEEN AROON 6 - [EILAROO6

All six of these were submitted to DT by Bruce. Both these tunes on his website would fit all six of these, but the second would need to be severely "de-ornamented" first.

708 COMMODORE GALE
A singable set of the tune is "Granuwail" is in B. Cooke's Cooke's Selection of Twenty One Favourite Original Irish Airs, c 1795, copied in Hime's 'New Selection', c 1805. The tune is Dorian mode. Bunting's setting has a key signature of two flats (G minor), but he then puts a natural sign in front of all of the E's. The second copy of the tune here is an instrumental version, not suitable for singing, but it seems to be the earliest copy of the tune. I have removed the repeats in tune 2 (now AB not AABB) and think removing most of the "ornaments" would make it singable.

For the tune, see Simpson's BBBM. Unlike the frequent case of no tune, here we have too many, and can't figure out which is the right one
