Hi, my name is Anika and I write my thesis about the music in the film "Master and Commander". There are several irish traditionals in it. I`m searching for the sheet music of the song "Mary Scott". It is a title of the soundtrack in the folk medley.
Please help me. It is urgent.

Sincerly yours

Anika

Anika, please follow the same advice I provided in the 'O'Sullivan's March' thread. This tune is also easy to find.

Regards, John

Not Irish. There are two possibilities (I haven't seen the film): Mary Scott, a march composed by the Scottish violinist (he preferred that to "fiddler") James Scott Skinner (1843-1927); and Mary Scott (the Flower of Yarrow), a tune found under various names in both Southern Scotland and Northern England, first appearing in the early 18th century.
