Subject: Tune Req: Lilliburlero From: GUEST,mjschryver@yahoo.com Date: 03 Jul 03 - 10:44 AM Does anyone have the sheet music for "Lilliburlero"? I've the lyrics, so I'm fine there. But all I've got of the music is a snatch of the tune in a midi file, and I can't play by ear; I need notes to look at. If anyone knows where the sheet music might be found, online or elsewhere, please lemme know. Thanks much, Mark James Schryver PS I saw, in an earlier thread that this music is probably in "Chappell's Popular Music of Olden Times." Unfortunately, I can't find even a library copy of this book. Possibly because it's over 160 years old . . . MJ |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Lilliburlero From: delphinium Date: 03 Jul 03 - 03:18 PM Sheet music and midi at http://www.music-scores.com/instrument/composer.php?instrument=Piano&name=Purcell Lots of threads on this, mostly under the alternate spelling "Lillibulero." |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Lilliburlero From: Gurney Date: 04 Jul 03 - 05:23 AM Hardly expected this on an American site. It is or was the musical ride of the Seventh Cavalry, and in the films Custer and his men rode out to meet destiny to its strains.... |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Lilliburlero From: Snuffy Date: 04 Jul 03 - 09:38 AM I thought that was "Garryowen", Gurney, not "Lilliburlero" |
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Lilliburlero From: masato sakurai Date: 04 Jul 03 - 10:11 AM "Lilliburlero" is the theme tune of BBC World Service (Click on "Latest World News Bulletin"). ~Masato |
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Lilliburlero From: delphinium Date: 04 Jul 03 - 12:26 PM It is also the tune used for these songs in the DT: LILLI BURLERO THE PROTESTANT BOYS NOTTINGHAM ALE MY THING IS MY OWN OXYGEN GAS INVITATION TO NORTH AMERICAY THE MODES OF THE COURT THE JOURNALIST DISPLAY'D CONGLETON BEAR "Nottingham Ale" is the one that goes through my head. Never heard of "Oxygen Gas" or "The Journalist Display'd" before - the wonderfully cynical Journalist one from 1740 is especially good. The DT only has 1 verse - I will transcribe the whole thing from the Bodleian Library site and put it on a new thread. |
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Lilliburlero From: GUEST,Lutenist Date: 04 Jul 03 - 03:21 PM How many sets of words are there to this song? I'm sure I've heard The Devil and the Farmer's Wife and other songs sung to it? |
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Lilliburlero From: GUEST,Guest Date: 04 Jul 03 - 03:54 PM "My Thing is my own" (original title = "Trap, or the Young Lass") was originally to be sung to "Trap's Delight" or "I know what I know", but neither are known. Also "My thing is my own" is about six years earlier than "Lilliburlero". |
