Subject: Celtic Rounds? From: sophocleese Date: 22 Sep 00 - 07:59 PM I had a request a couple of weeks ago for some "Celtic" rounds. This stumped me. I eventually came up with two rounds that sound vaguely celtic and one tune which, with a bit of jiggling, sort of works as a round. Does anybody know of any celtic rounds? |
Subject: RE: Celtic Rounds? From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 23 Sep 00 - 12:37 AM There are rounds to be found on the DT, if you search around a bit. As for Celtic; well, that's going to depend on what your friends think the word means. Rounds were a lot more popular in England than in Scotland, and I'm don't know of any Irish or Welsh ones at all, though others will know better than I about that! You could do worse than look (if you haven't already) at The Music of Thomas Ravenscroft -English, as I say, but for myself I believe that to try to separate "Celtic" songs from others native to these islands (when talking about songs in the English language) is to attempt what is usually a meaningless distinction. Most people -meaning no offence to whoever asked you about it- probably can't tell the difference in most cases, anyway. Malcolm |
Subject: RE: Celtic Rounds? From: sophocleese Date: 23 Sep 00 - 08:34 AM Malcom you've put your finger right on the heart of the difficulty I faced. I know several of Ravenscroft's rounds but I'm not sure they'd fit the description of what this person means by "Celtic". Rounds seem to have dissonances in them that a lot of people playing Celtic don't like and try and smooth over. I'll keep looking and maybe rewriting a couple of things to fit the description a bit better. Thanks. |
