this is a nice minor tune which I caught the end of on the radio, played on a harp

the announcer said it was a traditional Welsh tune, called either
the queen's march
the queens marsh
the queens marche

not sure which... but I can't find any of them.... does anyone know the tune?

thanks

OK... on further searching it appears to be "the Queen's Marsh" or "Morfa Frenhines"


still looking for dots of MIDI though

I found something called Queens March with the WebWide ABC Index--can you get there and do you have a translate program? It is a march in D and credited to John Clare,(1793-1864) I printed it, and if you can't deal with this, let me know and I will scan and send to see if it is the right one. Starts with a half note on D above middle C......

Queen's March

that one is supposedly an english tune.... I'm looking for a Welsh slow air in a minor key.... looks like it may only be available
on recordings

It might be a tune from an Ossian publication book of Celtic harp tunes. I have a copy of it somewhere around the house. Don't know anything about midi-files, but I'd be glad to photocopy the page and mail the old fashioned way,if you think that's what you help.

"The Queen's Marsh" is on Old Earth: Welsh Music on Triple Harp to Fire the Soul by Robin Huw Bowen [with sound clip]. Printed music for "Morfa'r Frenhines" is in The Celtic Harp.
