Note: We reserve the right to edit or delete messages in this thread, and we may delete tunes once they are available in the Digital Tradition.

---

There's an effort about to collect tunes for all the Digital Tradition songs. The missing tunes thread (click) has information about tunes that are needed, and about tunes that have been posted in other locations. The Mudcat Cafe has over 23,000 threads posted so far, so we have to take some care to ensure that we don't lose tunes and lyrics that are posted.

• If you'd like to submit tunes in ABC or MIDITEXT format, please post them in this thread or, preferably, in the thread where the lyrics appear (and post a message here, telling us where the lyrics and tune are). Make sure you put the name of the song in the Subject title of your message in this thread.
• If you'd like to submit tunes in MIDI format, please send them as e-mail attachments to Alan of Australia at Mudcat MIDIs (click to mail)

• 
  ***NEW:If you'd like to submit tunes in Noteworthy Composer format, please send them as e-mail attachments to me (Joe Offer) at this link (click to mail). I'll submit the Noteworthy file to the Digital Tradition, and also make sure a MIDI of the file is posted at Mudcat MIDIs. Dick Greenhaus says Noteworthy files are easier for him to work with when he's preparing the Digital Tradition, especially if you have the lyrics set up to match the notes of the tune.

• If you'd like to send tunes in any other format, please e-mail them to Dick Greenhaus - [e-mail]. To send lyrics and tunes on that archaic substance known as "paper," click here for information on how to contact the Digital Tradition by mail.

If you e-mail or post tunes, please be sure to tell us where we can find the lyrics (if it's not in the thread where the lyrics appear, give us the DigiTrad filename at the bottom of the lyrics, or the URL of the thread where the lyrics are posted).

I hope that clears up what we need.

"Happy Dick" is of about 1720. He was a Richard Jones, who died in 1769. George Monroe composed a tune for it about 1725, but it was more often sung to "Gossip Joan". There is a version of "Gossip Joan" in DT with two tunes for it. See Scarce 1 file on my website for the full original "Gossip Joan" and S1.HTM for it's original tune as an ABC.

932)  DRAKE'S DRUM  Words by Henry Newbolt, music by Florian Pascal (1897).  I've made a midi from a 1906 edition of the sheet music.  As was often the case with songs of the day, the melody varies from verse to verse, so I've done the whole thing: one midi of just the vocal line, and one with the piano accompaniment.  NOTE: There are some errors in the DT file: verses 1 and 2 have been transposed (I think that they are often sung in that order nowadays, but we may as well show what the composers intended), and the refrain, which should follow verses 1 and 3, has been omitted:

An' doubt ye not that Drake'll 'ear the drum,
The drum that beats to arl the winds that blow;
If the Dons sight Devon, he'll quit the port o' Heaven
An' drum them up the Channel as he drumm'd them long ago.

3710)  WHEN I WAS IN MY PRIME  The DT text appears to have been learnt from a Pentangle record (Cruel Sister, 1970) and contains some mistakes which are detailed in another thread:  When I Was In My Prime - symbolism.  I haven't so far found the traditional source of this version, so have made a midi by ear from the recording.

2272)  MARY FAGAN  There is a field recording of this song at the  Max Hunter Folk Song Collection:
Little Mary Fagan  As sung by Mrs. Iva Haslett in West Plains, Missouri on July 31, 1958.  Rather than make a midi by ear, I have simply pinched it from the site.  It is, therefore, their copyright.
