12 Feb 01 - 03:46 PM (#396566) Subject: Accomp. for Cape Breton lullaby From: Susan-Marie I learned this haunting song from a Theresa Doyle CD, where she sings it with just a pipe drone in the background. I'd like to add it to our trio's repertoire, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to add a guitar to the vocal. Has anyone done a guitar accompaniment with it? Mention a CD and I'll buy it, or I'll send you a few bucks so you can send me tape of your interpretation (our guitarist learns best by ear). Thanks. |

15 Jun 07 - 03:04 AM (#2077541) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Cape Breton Lullaby From: The Borchester Echo Old thread here cites a number of tunes and lyrics sets, all which appear to be in copyright, so you're unlikely to get free notation though there are many offering it for sale. There is also a variety of MIDIs online but the Mudcat one has gone on a 404. |

I was surprised by the request from you as I would have thought that tune would have come to you by simple osmosis from living up that way. |

17 Jun 07 - 01:40 PM (#2079355) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Cape Breton Lullaby From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Ah! Thanks. Had a message from GEST and apparently the MIDI file isn't in the Mudcat any longer. We'll have to see what we can do to rectify it. Meanwhile, these are the other threads on the song |

18 Jun 07 - 02:32 AM (#2079677) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Cape Breton Lullaby From: Jim Lad Thanks George: I have the words & music firmly planted, in my head. It was just the sheet music I wanted but since the man didn't have the common decency to live and die in some other century, I no longer have any use for it. Thanks again for your efforts. Jim |
