Jack, thanks for "McDonald's Rant." It's not only "intermediate," it's in a completely different spirit.

The notes of part one are identical to those of "Flowers of the Forest," but the presumable pace and timing make the melody almost unrecognizable.

I concur that any serious connection to Flodden before Jane Elliot's poem is unsupportable at this point.

Alan, thanks for the informative background.
