Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 01 Mar 04 - 04:43 PM Despite Alan saying it was posted, the Scotsman's Kilt has come up again. It doesn't seem to be at either of the MIDI locations, either the Mudcat MIDI's here at Mudcat, or Alan's MIDI pages here at Mudcat. Strange. Wonder if it was deleted for some reason? |

Subject: Tune Add: Walk Awhile From: OldPossum Date: 25 Jun 03 - 07:21 PM Thank you Malcolm for the info on Tam Lin. Here is the last tune from the Fairport songbook I have been going through.

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. |

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: 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". |

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: 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.

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.

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: MMario Date: 02 Feb 01 - 01:57 PM Sorcha - I would say for the present lets just match tunes with lyrics in the DT (where we can). If you want to do more, I doubt if anyone would object. 'cept possibly an anonymous guest |
|
Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Sorcha Date: 02 Feb 01 - 01:44 PM sooooo, you want me to post all 6 tunes and all 5 variants to Willie-O? Mario, you will understand the problem better when your book arrives...... |
|
Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: MMario Date: 02 Feb 01 - 12:51 PM Malcolm - I see your point. (and appreciate it) On the other hand - I'd just like to have tunes to the lyrics! *grin* Tho' it is nice when we can make a positive match between the lyric and the tune. Less variants would help - but we're stuck with the fact that there are probably MORE variations then we can shake a stick at! |
|
Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 02 Feb 01 - 11:53 AM We probably would! None of the versions in volume 2 mention Miss M. Macmath, which is why I asked. Perhaps she appears in addenda somewhere; I managed to find a (relatively) cheap set in Australia the other day, so I will soon be able to check without traipsing all the way to the library (airmail permitting). You'll have noticed that I'm quite anxious to make sure that tunes and texts are matched as closely as possible, which is why I'm always asking for more information from people; that's just the way I am...

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Sorcha Date: 02 Feb 01 - 09:42 AM Malcolm, I honestly don't know, because the tune I posted is the one given by Child himself in the Appendix to Vol. 5. I am not currently in possession of Vol. 2, where Child's versions of 100 are.
Bronson gives 6 tunes, none of which are the one Child gives......but similar to the Group A, 1. tune. (Titled O Will Ye Marry my Daughter Janet--but no lyrics given) Bronson also gives 5 lyric variants' If we're going to get into all Child variants and all possible/available tunes, I think we would have to start a whole new DT to handle it....... |

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 02 Feb 01 - 08:30 AM A clue to the problem with Arbutus lies in the attribution: "trad/grater". Apparantly, this should be [Paddy] Graber, who has taken some bits of Willie O' Winsbury and drastically rewritten the song. The transformation into a tree business doesn't appear in any of Child's examples, or in any other version that I've ever come across; that, presumably, is entirely Graber's invention. That being the case, it's also quite likely that he set it to another tune; all the traditional examples I know of (including the one Sorcha quotes) are sung to variants of the same melody, with the fourth line of each verse repeated as a refrain, which would be one reason why the Child melody doesn't fit "Arbutus". There is an example, collected by Cecil Sharp in the early years of the 20th century, at Willie O' Winsbury, though the accompanying text is from elsewhere. Actually, the tune best-known nowadays for Willie was composed for that very set of words by (I think) Andy Irvine in the 1960s; it was almost instantly assumed to be traditional because it was so convincing, and Fairport Convention set Farewell, Farewell to it on that assumption. That tune fits "Arbutus"... Malcolm P.S. Sorcha: which of Child's examples does the tune you posted belong to? PPS. MMario: that means that "Farewell Farewell" needs to go back on the "Missing" list, as the "Willie" tune in the DT is the wrong one for it. |

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Sorcha Date: 01 Feb 01 - 10:12 PM The tune below for Arbutus is what Bronson gives, but the words are very different from what is in the DT. No idea if the tune will work.

The DT entry also says tune Bonny Blue Flag (Low Backed Car) tunefile [BONBLUE, and has been cleared from the missing tunes list. But Hugill himself says: The tune of the verse is similar to that of the Wearing o' the Green, but the chorus bears a marked resemblance to the American Civil War march The Bonnie Blue Flag.Here is the tune as given by Hugill X: 163 T:The Gals O' Dublin Town (a) M:2/4 L:1/16 Q:100 S:Stan Hugill B:Shanties from the Seven Seas N:filename [HARPCRN K:C C2D2| E2E2 E2E2|E2G2 G2E2|E2D2 D2E2|D6 GG| A2F2 ccc2|A2G2 E2C2|DDC2 CCD2|C6 G2| c6 c2|B6 GG|A3B (3c2B2A2|G6 G2| c4 c3c |AAG2 E2CC|D3C C3D |C4|| 1605 THE HUNGRY CHILD X: 160 T:The Hungry Child M:3/4 L:1/4 C:Judith Piepe S:The Young Tradition N:filename [HUNGRCHD D:So Cheerfully Round, 1967 K:FDor F| F2c|B2G|B2G|F2G| A2A|(GF)E|(F2E)|F3| c<cc|B2G|B2G|FAB| c2F|F2E|(F2E)|F3| c2c|B3-|Bz2|c2A|F3|z2G| A2A|(GF)E|(F2E)|F3|| 3743 WHITSUN CAROL X: 161 T:Whitsun Carol M:4/4 L:1/8 Q:160 S:The Young Tradition N:filename [WHITSUNC D:So Cheerfully Round, 1967 K:E B2| E3E G2A2|B4(=d2c2)|B2B2 A2F2|E6 B2| E3E G2A2|B4(=d2c2)|B4 A2F2|E6 G2| B4 (=d2c2)|B4 B2G2|(Bc)(=dc) e2c2|B6 (GA)| B4(=d2c2)|B4 A4|G2E2 EED2|E6|| Wassail!

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Snuffy Date: 14 Oct 00 - 08:49 AM John, I've been back through all the missing tune threads to check, and am fairly certain that there is no mention of 'The Stone Outside Dan Murphy's Door' having been posted by anyone at all. We're all working off Mmario's list and his updates on the threads. If people are posting stuff and not telling Mario, then we're going to get a lot more duplications. Wassail! V |

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: MMario Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:23 AM Addendum to John's note: I have tried to find as many of the midi's that were posted to the forum as possible, but I keep finding more. If there is anyone out there who would like to concentrate on searching the forum for midi's feel free to volunteer! Finding one of the "lost" tunes in the forum and positng it's location is a valuable contribution, as it eliminates duplications such as we have found on occassion. Likewise, I will gladly e-mail out the updated file of "songs without tunes" on request. I update daily at this point. |

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: John in Brisbane Date: 11 Oct 00 - 10:42 PM Congratulations to all those who've contributed so avidly in the last few months. I have a couple of extra points to make here:
I've seen a number of tunes posted that are repeats of previous work done. Sorry Snuffy, but The Stone Outside is a case in point. It's a pity if a labour of love could have been better used on something else. I can't remember if it was Alison or I who did the original posting, but I've only recently discovered that some of my earlier postings don't appear to have made it into the Midis. I'll review MMario's list, but I must admit I forget them fairly quickly after I've worked on them.
I was very interested to read the note about NWC at the top of this thread. I'll need some time to provide a more detailed response. What I will say briefly now is that asking contributors to do the little bit of work up front will (hopefully) save Dick a huge amount of work later on. More of this anon.
Regards, John |

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Oct 00 - 07:24 PM Remember that Dick Greenhaus is the only one who has the technical ability to add tunes to the database, and it's a tedious process. He does his best to match the first verse of the lyrics to the tune. It will be a long time before all these tunes can be incorporated into the database - but at least we have them available right here, right now. Thanks to all for this great work. Keep it coming. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: Please Post Tunes Here -2 From: MMario Date: 05 Oct 00 - 10:05 AM for the first thread on this please see thread 23672 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.
I hope that clears up what we need. I'm sure Dick Greenhaus will drop in from time to time to give us further instructions. If you post your tunes here in this thread or send them to Mudcat MIDIs or to Dick, it will make it much easier for us to make use of them. Thanks. -Joe Offer- |
