Subject: RE: Tune Req: Auld Rob Morris / Thro' the Wood, Laddie
and by the way: hey tutti and scots wha hae are also NOT the same tune... at least not in Bruchs time. Robert Burns wanted his poem (Scots wha hae) to be sung to the the tune hey tutti, but there is a different melody to the song scots wha hae and to hey tutti - it is hey tutti that bruch has used in his fantasy. Bruch probably heard that Burns claimed that this song was sung on the way to Bannockburn... Scots wha hae though is an invented poem of Burn.. things he imagined Robert the Bruce said to the warriors before Bannockburn
