Thread Name: tune Req: Dives and Lazarus (variants)
Subject: RE: Variants of Dives and Lazarus
All the joys of folk music are in this tune, the extraordinary variety of styles, tempos and modes of the tunes that are clearly all versionsof the same one, the huge range of different music that use it, from goodgoing fiddle tunes to the saddest lament, from drinking songs to bad man ballads. And the fact that, so geographically widespread has it become, the sun definitely never sets on it!
