Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Snuffy Date: 18 Nov 01 - 11:44 AM 1791 ISABEL MAKES LOVE Thackray's actual title is the first line of the song: i.e. ISOBEL MAKES LOVE UPON NATIONAL MONUMENTS. (note Isobel with'o', not 'a'). The DT text has many minor differences from the 1972 Thackray recording I have, but no more than might be expected from a live performance. Only two real errors are apparent: Wordsworth would be po-faced, and it's ticks in her National Trust catalogues, not dicks (although the ticks obviously do refer to dicks!). As for place names there is no 'u' in the Forth Bridge, but there is an 'e' in Wembley, and I think the Cenotaph usually has a capital letter.

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Snuffy Date: 11 Dec 01 - 06:23 PM 3495 TRAINS OF WATERLOO
This is the tune sung by June Tabor and Lesley Davies on the Oranges and Lemmings CD. There are many 'Plains of Waterloo's, and there is no information on the CD as which this is based on, but it closely resembles the first half of 2773 PLAINS OF WATERLOO (1) , and may be the tune for that also. Or not. Timebase: 480 Tempo: 160 (375000 microsec/crotchet) This program is worth the effort of learning it.

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Snuffy Date: 26 Jan 02 - 02:14 PM 2641 ON ONE APRIL MORNING
This was recorded by June Tabor on Aleyn, 1997, Topic TSCD 490, where it is called simply APRIL MORNING. The words are substantially the same as (but slightly fewer than) the version in DT. APRIL MORNING'Twas on one April morning just as the sun was rising'Twas on one April morning, I heard the small birds sing They were singing Lovely Nancy, for love it is a fancy, Sweet were the notes that I heard the small birds sing. For young men are false and are full of all deceiving Young men are false and they never will prove true For they're roaming and they're ranging, and their minds are ever changing, They are seeking for to find out some other girl that's new. Oh, if I had but my own heart in keeping, Oh, if I had but my own heart back again Safe in my bosom I would lock it up forever And it should wander never so far from me again. Why must you spend all your long time in courting? Why must you spend all your long time in vain? For I don't intend to marry; I would rather longer tarry Young men, don't you spend all your single life in vain. (repeat first verse) MIDI file: APRILAM.MID Timebase: 480 Tempo: 096 (625000 microsec/crotchet) This program is worth the effort of learning it.

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Genie Date: 21 Dec 02 - 10:02 PM MMario, I just posted (today) the tune for "Singin' With The Big Choir" in ABC format, since you folks have been experiencing technical difficulties that so far have prevented my MIDI being posted. Please note that the MIDI is much better, since it includes the back-up vocals, trumpet and banjo parts. But if I did the ABC code right, it should show the BASIC tune. Genie |

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: OldPossum Date: 19 Jan 03 - 02:59 PM "The Old Miner" is in Mudcat MIDIs here. This song is actually in the DT twice, once as OLD COAL MINER, filename[ OLDCOALM, and the other as OLD MINER, filename[ OLDMINER. I don't know if songs ever get deleted from the DT, but in this case it might be considered, since (in my opinion) these two hardly qualify as two different versions, but rather two different transcriptions of basically the same song, OLD COAL MINER being the better one. At any rate it is the one that makes best sense, and is closest to Roy Palmer's Songs of the Midlands (1972), which seems to be the original source for the song (also apparantly the source of the MIDI); but the most common form of the title (there and elsewhere) seems to be "The Old Miner". |
Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 19 Jan 03 - 03:53 PM There are quite a lot of duplicate files in the DT, but I hadn't spotted that one when I made the midi and added lyric corrections in the thread Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE. The thread we're in now was really meant for posting tunes to (abc format), while the other series was for notifications of tunes dealt with and related notes and corrections. In order not to duplicate effort, we might usefully return to that arrangement. Quite a few tunes in the current "missing" list have been dealt with, and listed there: and many of them added to the midi pages in the mean time. |

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 25 Jun 03 - 06:59 PM Re. Tam Lin. The DT text is indeed a transcription from the Fairport Convention record, though it contains some mistakes. It isn't a traditional text, but a modern, very condensed, and extensively anglicised, re-write of Child 39A: which was originally printed in James Johnson's Scots Musical Museum, vol. V, 1796, no. 411 pp. 423-5; "communicated by Robert Burns". The tune used is not the one given in SMM; I don't know where they got it, but I think it was extensively altered from its traditional form, whatever that might have been. The chances are that it doesn't belong traditionally to this ballad at all; certainly there is no obvious resemblance to any of the examples in Bronson or the few others found more recently. The tune with the DT file is the one to which Bert Lloyd sang the song; Frankie Armstrong and others got it from him. It's a mystery why it's been attached to a text very different from Lloyd's (which was also a modern re-write). Mind you, it's also a mystery where Lloyd's tune came from, though it does sound familiar from somewhere or other. Perhaps he took it from another song and forgot to say. The other DT file, incidentally, (TAMLIN) is an even more bogus collation (from a textual point of view) though the tune with it may be based on a genuine traditional one. Too tired just now to try to disentangle it. |
