Subject: RE: Dots for Sheffield Carols From: DMcG Date: 13 Dec 10 - 03:38 PM Search for 'Village Carols'; there is a website where you can buy books of about a dozen carols in each and they are pretty cheap. I can't easily give link from my phone, sorry |

Subject: RE: Dots for Sheffield Carols From: JohnB Date: 14 Dec 10 - 02:08 PM The Worral Blue Book is a good one, 90+ versions in four part harmony As are all Ian Russells books. Both are Sheffield based, but tunes have a habit of wandering around and cropping up somewhere else with a different name. I would like to know about a Saddleworth book if one exists. JohnB |
Subject: RE: Dots for Sheffield Carols From: Captain Farrell Date: 14 Dec 10 - 03:18 PM As far as I am aware some of the local Saddleworth tunes were written by local church organists and the like.I do know of one called Silver Hill that is played in Delph on Whit Friday but in the old days used as a version of While Shepherds just one of dozens used for this carol in Yorkshire. |
