Subject: RE: seeking trad. tune Coleraine From: alison Date: 26 Mar 98 - 11:20 PM Hi, Coleraine is in Northern Ireland approx 70 miles north of Belfast. It is on the banks of the Bann(which runs more or less the length of Northern Ireland.) It is one of the main towns on (well near anyway... )the North coast. I lived about 5 miles outside it for a few years near some gorgeous beaches. A lovely part of the world.... and yes.... of course I'm biased. It is pronounced "coal-rain". Slainte Alison |

Subject: Lyr/Tune Add: KITTY OF COLERAINE From: alison Date: 26 Mar 98 - 06:53 PM Hi, We used to sing this in primary school… I am nearly sure there was a second verse but we usually only sang the first one… KITTY OF COLERAINE
As beautiful Kitty one morning was tripping,
Oh what shall I do sir, 'twas looking at you sir, And here's the tune, some bits of it are a bit vague... but it's pretty much as I remember singing it

Subject: RE: seeking trad. tune Coleraine From: Jerry Friedman Date: 25 Mar 98 - 08:01 PM At last! In Stalky & Co. by Kipling, there's a mention of a song called "Kitty of Coleraine", which apparently everybody knew back then (c. 1870?). I've always wondered what it sounded like. |

Subject: Tune Add: COLERAINE From: BAZ Date: 25 Mar 98 - 05:44 PM I went away typed it up came back and there it was. Never mind this seems to be a bit different and has some chords so it may be useful.

Subject: RE: seeking trad. tune Coleraine From: alison Date: 25 Mar 98 - 05:13 AM Hi, Just worked through to see if it worked... and it did... Now you can see a simple melody line. A few of the note values are a bit dubious, (probably due to rests.... Alan's working on it.)But it's pretty easy to follow. Slainte Alison |

Subject: Tune Add: COLERAINE From: alison Date: 25 Mar 98 - 05:05 AM Hi, Here it is using Midi2Txt. This should give you it in ABC. There was more than one part so I hope it chose the right one to convert. Good luck.

Subject: RE: seeking trad. tune Coleraine From: Rosebrook Date: 24 Mar 98 - 06:49 PM Thanks, especially Dan, for help. I don't have Noteworthy Composer, but am willing to download tools that will help in searching for and learning music! (It took forever to get up the confidence to download and play with ABC2win.) In the meantime, still looking for a gif or abc of Coleraine.... |

Subject: RE: seeking trad. tune Coleraine From: alison Date: 24 Mar 98 - 05:41 PM Hi, I lived in Coleraine for a while and was never aware that this tune existed. I think the Frank is talking about is "Kitty of Coleraine.".... it does have major tune. "As beautiful Kitty one morning was tripping, with a pitcher of milk from the fair at Coleraine." slainte Alison |

Subject: RE: seeking trad. tune Coleraine From: Frank in the swamps Date: 24 Mar 98 - 05:07 PM Sam Henry's "Songs of the People" has a "Kate of Colerain" which seems to be a variant of the tune in the midi file. It has a major rather than a minor sound, but follows much the same outline. Frank i.t.s. |

Subject: RE: seeking trad. tune Coleraine From: Dan Mulligan Date: 24 Mar 98 - 11:45 AM Rosebrook, If you don't have Noteworthy , I realy recomend it. Because you can use it to veiw the musical notation of any MIDI tune, making it a great way to hear play and learn new tunes. There are thousands of MIDI files on the net that you can download , save and view with noteworthy and it works a lot better than ABC. To save a midi that you have opened with your browser just place your cursor on the player window, click on the right mouse button and click on "save as." Good luck let me know if i can help you out Dan |

Subject: RE: seeking trad. tune Coleraine From: Dan Mulligan Date: 24 Mar 98 - 11:35 AM Here is a midi file of colerain. If you have Noteworthy composer you can view the music notation by opening the file with it. If you don't have noteworthy tou can get it at ZDnet shareware library. Dan |

Subject: RE: seeking trad. tune Coleraine From: Jon W. Date: 24 Mar 98 - 11:16 AM I just bought a clawhammer banjo book which has this tune, unfortunately it's in banjo tablature so I don't know if it would help or not. I suppose with a little work I could turn it into ABC if no one else posts it first. |
