28 Jun 02 - 03:37 PM (#739008) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas 926) DOWN IN YON FORREST This text was quoted from John Jacob Niles, who copyrighted it in 1935, apparently, though he made no claim to have written it. I don't have the relevant book, so I don't know who he said he had collected it from, though it seems that he got it in North Carolina; however, an almost identical text, with tune, was published in the Journal of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, vol.4, number 3, 1942. It had been noted in 1936 by Ralph Vaughan Williams from the singing of the folklorist Evelyn Wells, who learned it from Amos Curtis of Brasstown, North Carolina. Midi made from RVW's notation. There are a few minor textual differences; none greater than might be expected and not worth noting here (assuming the DT file to be a correct quote from Niles). Perhaps at some point in the future somebody who has the Niles music can compare the two; I expect them to be pretty much the same. |

For now, I have just the one tune, from Alfred Moffat's Fifty Traditional Scottish Nursery Rhymes (1933), where it is called Guid-day now, bonnie Robin, lad; midi made from notation in that book. Moffat's set is essentially a much-shortened form of example (1) , with chorus as specified in the file. |

09 Jul 02 - 12:43 PM (#745174) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas 2617) OLD MINER The DT text was apparently copied from a now-defunct website containing lyrics of songs recorded by Maddy Prior. It appears to have been transcribed by ear from a record, and is inaccurate and incomplete. The song was published in Roy Palmer's Songs of the Midlands (1972); it was collected by John Moreton in the early 1960s, from an unnamed source. Palmer notes: "Sung by an old miner in Haunchwood Pit, Nuneaton, Warwickshire... The pit is now closed. The informant originated in Durham, where he had learned the tune. The words were his own." This being the case, the DT text should be amended to reflect the writer's intention rather than the transcriber's (apparently, rather poor) ear or Maddy Prior's memory. In fact, a nearly correct text was posted at Maddy Prior's Lyrics: The Old Miner a couple of weeks after the mutilated set; the poster innocently added it as "another version" rather than (almost) the right version (which is what it is; this is not a traditional song) and the harvesters passed it over. Some small amendments to it: Verse 3, line 3: that train In the final lines of verses 2,3,4 and 5, it is Who, dear God; not Oh, dear God. The unnamed singer appears from the notation given to have sung an extra phrase at the end of each verse; this is not made clear in the text given in the book, however, and it looks as if a lot of revival singers have simply omitted it. To quote the first verse as an example: Oh, who'll replace this old miner,This final line is presumably to be added to each verse. Midi made from notation in the work cited, including the "missing" line. |

Midi made from notation originally printed in Sing Out! vol.1, 1959. 940) DREMLEN FEYGL (Drowsing Birds) Midi made from notation which originally appeared in Sing Out! vol. 6, 1964. The title there was given as S'Dremlin Feigle, with words and music both credited to Leah Rudnitzky; the DT has "Words by Leah Rudnicki; Music by Leyb Yampolski". Yiddish music is not my field, so I have no comment on that, or on the fact that the spelling system used in the DT is completely different from that used in Sing Out; presumably Yiddish uses more than one. They gave a translation, which the contributor to the DT failed to do: Birds are dozing on the branches,The translation was perhaps made by Dina Suller, who sent the song to Sing Out. 2398) MRS. ADLAM'S ANGELS Not, as tentatively ascribed in the DT file, by Brian Bower, but by Ralph McTell. Midi made from notation in Ralph McTell, Essex Books, 1972. ©Essex Music, 1968. The DT transcription contains errors or changes; since this is not a traditional song, I'll specify precisely; line numbers refer to the DT file:
2376) MORRISSEY AND THE BLACK The DT text was taken from MacKenzie's Ballads and Sea Songs from Nova Scotia, where no tune was given. Midi made from notation in Edward Ives' Folksongs of New Brunswick (1989); that example came from Spurgeon Allaby, and is a variant of Villikins and His Dinah. Obviously, we don't know whether or not Harry Sutherland used that tune or one like it. Roud Index no. 1884, Laws H19. 2369) MONTH OF JANUARY The DT text was transcribed from a June Tabor record; she seems to have recorded an arrangement of the traditional set that came from Sarah Makem, omitting the final two verses, as did Dolores Keane. Midi made from notation in Peter Kennedy's Folksongs of Britain and Ireland, 1975, where it was called The False Young Man. Kennedy and Sean O'Boyle recorded the song from Sarah Makem in 1953. Additional background and the two verses not in the DT are at Lyr/Chords Req: month of january Roud Index no. 175, Laws P20. |

06 Oct 02 - 01:03 PM (#797673) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas BLAKSMI2 THE BLACKSMITH (2) No source is named for this one, which differs little from the Penguin set. I expect that whoever originally posted it learned it from a record; probably Steeleye Span, or from one of the numerous recordings made by people who have used their collation, which was put together from (unspecified) versions published in the Journal of the Folk Song Society. Certainly, they used the Penguin tune, which is in the DT file A BLACKSMITH COURTED ME, which is the Penguin set. A cross-reference is all that is needed. Roud 816. There is a mistake in BLAKMI2; verse 2 line 3 has been garbled: Will burn and scorch I fear the shining sun his beauty is faintly ridiculous; fortunately, it is easy to guess the correct word-order. Let's hope that nobody learns it from the file and believes it to be an authentic variant; it isn't. Unless, of course, I'm a Dutchman.
SIRHUGH3 LITTLE SIR WILLIAM No source is acknowledged for this text, though it is assigned the correct Child group number (155). It is his example T, and appeared in his Additions and Corrections, E&SPB vol.5 pp.240-1. It first appeared in M.H. Mason's Nursery Rhymes and Country Songs, and was re-printed in Lucy Broadwood's English County Songs (1893) with tune and the information that it was collected in Lincolnshire. Midi made from the notation given in this last book. The DT text is not as originally noted; in verses 2, 3 and 5, school wife has been substituted for the original Jew's wife. The alteration appears to have been made by Benjamin Britten, when he made an "art music" arrangement of the song for voice and piano; he could hardly have used the original term, but the DT really should have a note indicating the modification. Roud 73.
MAIDBATH A MAIDEN DID BATHING GO Text from Thomas D'Urfey's Pills to Purge Melancholy. If quoted directly from the book (which I doubt), it wasn't the edition of 1719-20, in which the text is rather different (and longer), and has a different title, The Surpriz'd Nymph. Midi made from the notation in that book. The song appeared earlier on broadsides, as The Swimming Lady: or, A Wanton Discovery. According to Claude M. Simpson (The British Broadside Ballad and Its Music), it was previously set to a different tune, I'll Never Love Thee More. Roud 2035.
COVCARL2 LULLAY MY LIKING Text from The Oxford Book of Carols. So easily found in any good public library that I can't imagine why it was added to the DT without the tune, which was written by Gustav Holst. Oh well; midi made from the book. The chorus is given first.
LSTYSMTH LUSTY YOUNG SMITH Allegedly from Pills To Purge Melancholy, but modernised and given a different refrain; perhaps by Ed McCurdy, perhaps via Ren Faires or the like. Hard to tell. It's also possible that not all editions of Pills in which it appeared had exactly the same text, I suppose. Bruce Olson attributes it to Richard Leveridge. Midi made from notation given in Pills (edition of 1719-20).
BALAENA THE BALAENA This file actually contains two sets, neither with a traditional source named. Roud 285.
The first is The Balaena, evidently a British version and perhaps taken from a Bert Lloyd record or some such. There are not many published sets; here I've made a midi from notation in The Scottish Folksinger (Norman Buchan and Peter Hall, 1973); this came from Bruce Laurenson of Lerwick. His text was pretty similar to the unattributed one we have here, all things considered.
The second is The Old Polina, a Newfoundland version. Evidently the one that appeared in The Penguin Book of Canadian Folk Songs (Edith Fowke, 1974) which was noted by Gerald Doyle from Captain Peter Carter and Harry R. Burton of Greenspond, Bonavista Bay in 1955. Midi made from notation in that book. |

08 Oct 02 - 12:16 PM (#798964) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas BENTSAE THE BENT SAE BROWN Child 71, Roud 3322. Bronson commented: "According to the Gray-Muir MS., National Library of Scotland MS. 2254, there is a tune for this ballad in the Bunyan MS., 1877, p. 2. This MS. has not been discovered." It would appear that no tune has emerged subsequently.
BLARNROS BLARNEY ROSES (2): This seems to be in the Download DT only; I couldn't find it at Mudcat. It's a duplicate of BLARNEY ROSES; even the footnote is the same. The only difference between the two files is that the latter includes the tune. Roud 6329.
KEELLAD BONNY KEEL LADDIE From Bruce and Stokoe, Northumbrian Minstrelsy, 1882. Midi made from notation in that book. Roud 9021.
COMMSAIL THE COMMON SAILOR From Roy Palmer's Oxford Book of Sea Songs. Radriano, who posted it, forgot to mention that this text was noted by Richard Cotten, some time between 1883 and 1886, during his naval service. Tune and chorus are from Stan Hugill, who learned them from his father. ABC and MIDITEXT were posted in the original thread, but these belonged to a different version; midi made, therefore, from Palmer's notation. Roud 16880.
FISHRBOY FISHER BOY The file states "There is a variant called The Fisher Laddie." In fact, the DT text is just a rendering into Standard English of O The Bonny Fisher Lad, which can be found in Bruce and Stokoe, Northumbrian Minstrelsy, 1882. Midi made from notation in that book. Roud 3150.

15 Oct 02 - 03:07 PM (#803770) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas MARDAUGH THE EARL OF MAR'S DAUGHTER Child #270; one example only. Midi made from notation in Christie's Traditional Ballad Airs, vol.II, 1881, "arranged from the way it was sung in Buchan". As is common with Christie, the second strain may be editorial. I have omitted the gracenotes for the sake of clarity, but have provided the full notation in abc format in this thread: Tune Req: The Earl of Mar's Daughter. I'm having a ghastly time trying to fit The Bonny Keel Laddie (see above) to the pipe-tune notation. Bruce and Stokoe didn't attempt it, and neither did A.L. Lloyd when he printed a (simplified!) form of the tune in Come All Ye Bold Miners. I think I may just let people take their own chances on this one. |

29 Oct 02 - 09:12 PM (#814090) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas BURYNOTC BURY ME NOT IN THE DEEP, DEEP SEA "Adapted from the Peacock Collection", according to the DT file, the text of which derives from some band called Nightingale, whoever they might be. In fact, only a very few, trivial alterations have been made from the traditional version, with the exception of the omission of one verse, which belongs between verses 3 and 4 in the DT file:
"Oh bury me where my mother's prayer
The song was noted by Kenneth Peacock from Leonard Hulan of Jeffrey's, in July 1960. Midi made from notation in Peacock's Songs of the Newfoundland Outports, vol.I, 1965. Peacock 186 No. 1126. Roud 631, Laws B2.
CELWKMAN CELEBRATED WORKING MAN The DT text is taken from Gwen and Mary Polwarth's North Country Songs (1969) [not North County Songs, as the DT would have it], and was noted from Jack Elliot of Birtley, Durham. I don't have that book, but A.L. Lloyd publishes a set, also noted from Elliott (in 1963) in his Folk Song in England (1967). Midi from Lloyd's notation: the chorus is sung to the same tune as the verse. Roud 3486. |

02 Nov 02 - 08:42 PM (#817173) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas ISOPAT2 BURD ISOBEL AND SIR PATRICK B Child #257B, Roud 107. The text is from Peter Buchan's Ancient Ballads and Songs of the North of Scotland (1828); the DT just says "from Buchan", which is potentially misleading as Buchan is also a place-name. Peter Buchan gives no tune, but Christie (Traditional Ballad Airs (vol.II, 1881) has a two-strain melody, noted from an old lady called "Jenny Meesic", who he says sang more-or-less the same words to it. Of his source, Christie notes elsewhere "[She was an old woman from] Buckie, (Enzie, Banffshire,) from whose singing [I] arranged a great number of old Airs and Ballads. She died in 1866 at the age of nearly 80 years. Her father, long resident in Buckie, where fishermen and labourers have "tee-names" had the sobriquet "Meesic" (Music) given to him in the end of the last century by the populace, thus indicating his fame as a ballad-singer." Christie's second strains are sometimes suspect, but I give it as printed, though with the grace-notes removed for the sake of clarity. It fits a little oddly to the text, so I have set verses 5 and 6 to it so as to avoid having to break notes. For some reason, the DT entry is titled Burd Isobel and Sir Patrick instead of Burd Isbel and Sir Patrick as given in both Buchan and Child. QTNMOURN THE QUEENSTOWN MOURNER The DT file was taken from Helen Hartness Flanders and George Brown's Vermont Folk-songs and Ballads; it is a transcription of an unspecified broadside ("of early date", whatever that means) and no tune is mentioned. Steve Roud's folksong index has no references to any printed music for this one, though he lists sound recordings of traditional versions -under a variety of titles- in the Edith Fowke collection (Canada) and the Library of Congress (made by Flanders and Lomax). Having said all that, Flanders and Brown precede the song with another, this time from tradition, In the Township of Danville, which is evidently a shortened version of the broadside. Short of anybody being in a position to get at the archive recordings, the tune that came with it is the closest we are likely to get for the broadside text. Obviously, that text may never have been sung to that tune, but with that caveat I think it's worth making a midi. So as not to create a false impression, I have posted the text that came with it in a thread of its own: This is the "Danville" midi that was unexplained in the file I sent you, Leo. |

04 Nov 02 - 02:12 PM (#818240) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas It's easier for me to keep track of if I send you largish batches from time to time. I haven't sent anything since those four that had got left out earlier. Some more notes: CALONLN CALON LIN This file contains two translations into English of the Welsh song Calon Lân. I don't know why the title has been mis-spelled, but Snuffy posted Welsh text and tune at: Lyr/Tune Add: CALON LÂN. DEIRDLAM DEIRDRE'S LAMENTATION Bruce posted a tune that may belong to this in the same thread from which the text was harvested: Deirdre's Lamentation for the Sons of Usnoth. I don't know how the words would fit to it, though, as the text is supposed to be a translation into English from an Irish Gaelic original, and the tune is a pipe version from P. O'Farrell's Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes . BUCKWATR BUCK O' KINGWATTER The tune prescribed for this song is The Breckans O' Branton. Midi made from notation of the pipe tune in Bruce and Stokoe's Northumbrian Minstrelsy, 1882, where it is called The Green Brechans o' Branton. It has been necessary to split several notes in order to accommodate the lyric. DICKOCOW DICK O' THE COW Child 185, Roud 4012. The DT text is Child Aa, from the Percy Papers, 1775; while the tune belongs to Ac, (Alexander Campell's Albyn's Anthology, 1818) which, with Ab (Caw's Poetical Museum, 1784) is quoted only where it is variant. Midi made from notation in Bronson. The tune was noted from the singing of Robert Shortreed of Liddesdale, in 1816. His refrain is longer than that in the DT file. Bronson comments, "...as printed in a, it may probably only be intended as a short indication of kind and position - this would accord with the accurate transcription of c." I have embedded the (c) lyric for the first verse in the midi rather than that quoted in the DT. It runs: Now Liddesdale has layen lang in, To avoid splitting notes, There is in line 3 has been shortened to There's. |

FANPOWER FANNY POWER Wrong title, wrong author credited, wrong tune prescribed. This song has nothing whatsoever to do with the extremely well-known and hackneyed Carolan tune so often described nowadays, anachronistically, as a "Celtic" waltz. Someone has, through ignorance or lack of judgement, grafted the latter onto the former at some point, changing the title of the song and the name of the heroine; and the person who posted the song here (twice) has innocently believed, and promulgated, the misinformation they were handed.

05 Nov 02 - 09:49 PM (#819542) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas FOXOUT3 THE FALSE FOX 14th or 15th century lyric: no surviving music.
FOGGDEW6 FOGGY, FOGGY DEW The DT file has been given an anachronistic title. This is presumably intended to emphasise the fact that it belongs to the English Foggy Dew family, but I can't help feeling that it was a mistake; akin, for example, to filing Lord Franklin as Bob Dylan's Dream. The proper title is The Fright'ned Yorkshire Damosel, Or, Fear Dispers'd by Pleasure. The tune specified in the broadside from which it was taken was I met with a Country Lass, which has not survived under that name; however, Claude M. Simpson (The British Broadside Ballad and Its Music, 1966) points out that it may be an alternate title for Aye, Marry, and Thank You Too; of which he prints two examples, one from Youth's Delight on the Flageolet (9th edn., c.1690) and another, rather smoother, from the ballad-opera Robin Hood (1730). I've made a midi from the former, which is closer in date to the broadside. The usual caveat: this is a guess only, though an educated one .
DOCTOR4 THE FOUR ABLE PHYSICANS No source for this is credited beyond a record by Oscar Brand. It was almost certainly taken by Brand from Thomas D'Urfey's Pills to Purge Melancholy (edition of 1719-20), where it appeared as The Tunbridge Doctors. The set there is considerably longer and, since there are also some minor errors in the DT file, I may as well post the whole thing: The Tunbridge Doctors. |

The text and tunes are at Prince Charles and Flora Maacdonald's Welcome to Sky.. The first is the one to go for. RESTODAY THE REST OF THE DAY Roud 1485. This is effectively a duplicate of THE REST OF THE DAY'S YOUR OWN, which has the tune. There are a few very trivial differences of wording, not sufficient to bother with. Really, this one ought to be deleted. OXPLOW OX-PLOUGH SONG Described in the DT as "sung by Johnny Collins". His traditional source is not credited; it was, however, noted by Fred Hamer from Frank Rowe in Cornwall (no date, but roughly mid-20th century, and with no hyphenation. A few trivial changes have been made to the traditional lyric; the only one worth mentioning is in the chorus, which should have whoop along instead of walk along and move along. The former is the traditional phrase used; the latter are mis-hearings from Revival performer[s]. Midi made from Hamer's notation in Garners Gay (EFDS Publications, 1977). Hamer commented "Several people in East Cornwall gave me this song, usually in fragmentary form, but this full version is from Frank Rowe who, though confined to a wheelchair, contrives to be one of the most cheerful and adventurous men in the parish - or rather two parishes, for the boundary cuts his cottage in two. This ancient song, from the days when oxen were used at the plough, can almost be said to belong to his family." There is another set in the DT, THE OXEN PLOUGHING, this time copied from Roy Palmer's Everyman's Book of English Country Songs (not English Country Songbook, as stated): this originally appeared in Sabine Baring Gould's Songs of the West, having been noted from Adam Landry, Cornwall, in 1895. There is a verse missing: For it's, O my little ploughboy Palmer evidently intended to include that verse, as his notes explain what "Brown Willy" is (the highest hill in Cornwall); the verse seems to have been omitted by accident.

07 Nov 02 - 09:56 PM (#821242) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas GEORDBLK GEORDIE BLACK According to A.L. Lloyd (Come All You Bold Miners, revised edition, 1978) this was written by the Gateshead comedian Rowland Harrison in 1872. Although the lyric has been posted here twice, on neither occasion was Harrison credited. Midi made from notation given by Lloyd; the song was noted from Peter Elliott, Birtley, County Durham, 31 July 1963. The "Gyuss" (one syllable) is the Goose Pit, near Holmside. The "Betty" is the nickname of a pit near Birtley.
GRNBROM3 GREEN BROOMS (3) A midi I made from notation in Peter Kennedy's Folksongs of Britain and Ireland (the source of this text) can be got via this earlier discussion: Brooms, Green Brooms. Text and tune came from Sean McDonagh, Carna, Co. Galway, Ireland; noted by Seamus Ennis and Alan Lomax in 1951. The midi is marked as harvested, and seems to have been left out of the new DT by accident.
HANDPWR HANDLOOM V. POWERLOOM From Harry Boardman's Folk Songs and Ballads of Lancashire (1973). I don't have that book, but Karl Dallas gave the tune that Boardman set to the text written by "Common" John Grimshaw of Gorton, near Manchester (round the beginning of the 19th century). Midi made from notation in Dallas' book, One Hundred Songs of Toil, 1974.

08 Nov 02 - 01:18 PM (#821599) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas DCOWPER DONALD COWPER AND HIS MAN The DT text is from David Herd's Ancient and Modern Scottish Songs (1776) and was reproduced with music in Chambers' Songs of Scotland Prior to Burns (1862). Unless someone has access to that, we are going to have to make do with the set from Johnson's Scots Musical Museum (vol.IV, 1792, song no.334), where it is printed as Donald Couper. As was common at the time, the chorus music was given first; I have (reluctantly) reversed the order of the parts to conform to the DT arrangement, but I have not fitted the tune to the DT text: I have retained the slightly different SMM lyric, which is as follows:
O Donald Cowper and his man
At length he got a Carlin gray,
ERLKING THE ERL-KING This is a rather unimpressive adaptation -judging from the text- of Goethe's poem, by Steve Gillette. Whoever added it gave no indication as to which of several tunes might have been used for it; or whether, indeed, Gillette had set it to yet another of his own. Here are some options:
Erlkoenig (transcribed for piano by Franz Liszt)
There is also a setting by Carl Loewe, but I haven't found a midi of that. Likely enough the tune is none of those, anyway. It seems to be on more than one of Gillette's records, and some sort of notation appears in his book The Steve Gillette Songbook. Somebody round here must have a copy of it.
GERRYOWN GERRY OWENS (Sargent Flynn) Although listed "missing", this one does have a midi. Well, it says it does, but BAWNOG.MID, also the tune for BRIAN OG AND MOLLY BAWN) can't be found on the server. Never mind; it can be retrieved from the new download version. The text was taken from the Max Hunter Collection, where you can also get a midi for it: be warned, though, that one's pretty ghastly...
GARYOWE2 GARY OWEN This is exactly the same as the foregoing, except that there are a few, very minor differences in wording and the verses are in a different order. NB. Neither of these is sung to the well-known tune Garryowen.
HIDEWILL HIDE WILLIE HIDE A modern parody, set to the tune A. L. Lloyd used (and perhaps wrote) for his update of THE TWO MAGICIANS, where the tune can be found. The less said about the DT text of The Two Magicians the better, perhaps; the parts that actually come from Lloyd contain several glaring mistakes, and someone has grafted on a number of rather poor home-made verses, with no information whatever as to where they came from. At the very least, there should be some indication of which are Lloyd's verses (Anglicised from the Scottish text in Child for the most part) and which are not. It has been clear in previous discussions of the song that people come across such verses tacked on to traditional material and think that they have discovered a genuine traditional variant; we really should not be confusing them in this way.

09 Nov 02 - 11:18 AM (#822235) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas DUNKIRK DUNKIRK I think that MMario has this, and sent a midi to John which doesn't seem to have reached the midi pages. See thread Lyr/Chords Add: DUNKIRK, which also contains some fanciful speculation on the meaning of fain', which I am pretty certain is simply a typo for facin'; if I ever find my tape of the song again, I'll know for sure. The writer's name is also mis-spelt there and in the DT file: it is Zeta, not Zetta. I'm not at all sure that she shouldn't be Zeta MacDonald rather than Zeta St. Clair, but I can't swear to it.
DYINPILT DYING PILOT The file has a midi link, but the midi (DYINHOBO).MID) doesn't seem to exist. According to Dick, it's the same tune as DYING HOBO where a tune is not given either. According to Snuffy (Tune Add Part II) both these songs use the same tune as A SOLDIER FROM MISSOURI, as does THE LITTLE STREAM OF WHISKEY (THE DYIN' HOBO) Soldier From Missouri does actually have a tune file. Now, I don't know any of these songs, so I'm just pointing out the convoluted cross-references, and will say nothing at all about Bingen on the Rhine or Kevin Barry or Shall My Soul Pass Through Old Ireland. Over to you!
ERLINTON ERLINGTON CHILD 8D; Roud 24. Bronson has no tune for any version of this song, and none are listed in the Roud Index. Unless one turns up when the Carpenter collection is published, that it probably an end of it.
BEAUREY2 A FOX HUNTIN' This is taken from the Max Hunter Collection, where there is a midi (their copyright, of course): A Fox Huntin'

13 Dec 02 - 09:53 PM (#847101) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas 4149 FLYCOCK4 WESTRON WYND (3) The text was quoted from James Reeves, The Everlasting Circle, Heinemann, 1960. It was noted by H.E.D. Hammond from Farmer Mills at Knowle Farm, Beaminster, Dorset. Date unknown, but around 1905-7 as like as not. Verse 4 was completed from a set noted by Hammond from Robert Barratt, Piddletown, Dorset, in 1905, Hammond having noted only the first line followed by "etc". This is unlikely to have been an attempt at "bowdlerisation", as one of several people whose conversation is quoted in the file suggested (I can't find the original thread at present, so can't check identities); more likely he just didn't bother writing it down because it was identical to the verse in the other set.
We have one of those perennial difficulties over titles, here. Hammond published Barratt's set in The Journal of the Folk Song Society (vol. VIII, issue 34, 1930) as Oh, Once I Loved a Lass, while Reeves re-named both texts The Grey Cock. Joan Brocklebank and Biddie Kindersley (A Dorset Book of Folk Songs, EFDSS, 1948) printed Barratt's set as O Once I Loved a Lass, and Frank Purslow (Marrowbones, EFDSS, 1965) printed a text collated from both sets, and set to Barratt's tune, as The Light of the Moon. It seems a little perverse to re-name it Westron Wynd at this late date, even if there is a connection (by no means certain) between it and the famous fragment. Presumably, Farmer Mills' text was only quoted because of this perceived connection; so far as I know, his tune has never been published.
Midi made, then, from Robert Barratt's set, which is the closest we can get without referring to Hammond's MSS. I have used the notation given by Purslow, since he used some of Mills' text (including the first verse) and has modified the tune a bit to accomodate the different line lengths. It should be noted that this is a compromise tune, and not the one actually used by Mills; nor, strictly, is it, any more, Barratt's tune; though made from it.
Roud 179, Child 248.
4201 ERICHDAU WILLIE AND EARL RICHARD'S DAUGHTER Child 102A. Originally printed in Jamieson, Popular Songs and Ballads from Tradition, 1806. From Mrs. Anna Brown of Falkland. The tune for this version was not noted.
4202 ERICHDAU WILLIE AND EARL RICHARD'S DAUGHTER (A) Child 102A: this file is a duplicate of the above, and should be deleted.
4203 ERICDAU2 WILLIE AND EARL RICHARD'S DAUGHTER (BIRTH OF ROBIN HOOD) Child 102B: originally printed in Peter Buchan, Ancient Ballads and Songs of the North of Scotland, 1828. Buchan printed text only, but Dean Christie, Traditional Ballad Airs, vol. I, 1876, gives a tune, saying: "This Air is arranged from the way it was sung by the Editor's maternal grandfather to The Birth of Robin Hood. The words he sung to the air were somewhat, so far as the Editor can remember, like those given by Buchan II 1. Some slight alterations are here made on Mr. Buchan's version from the way the Editor heard the ballad sung."
Midi made from Christie's notation, then, with the trills and gracenotes omitted. This is not ideal, but is necessary in this case to prevent the midi from becoming too cluttered. So as not to misrepresent the tune too much, though, I append it here in abc, with all the decorations intact and the uneven triplets given as written (in the midi I have had to fudge them). Most abc programs appear incapable of translating the notation precisely, however; I have given the notation as best I can according to my incomplete understanding of abc standards, which don't appear to have been developed sufficiently -so far- to express many of the normal, but less often used, forms of staff notation. If anybody can work out how to do it more successfully, please do! If anyone would like a scan of Christie's staff, I'll be happy to oblige.
X:1 Christie sets verses 1 and 3 of Buchan's text (slightly changed) to the two-part tune; I follow his text. Anybody who can't work out how to fit it to the DT text probably has no business trying to sing it! |

28 Apr 03 - 11:15 AM (#941905) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas Some more bits and pieces. Not as helpful or clear-cut as I'd like, but a few steps forward... 1225 TARWATH2 FAREWELL TO TARWAITHIE (2) This is the original poem (unfortunately, with the title mis-spelt) by George Scroggins, published 1857, that was later set to the popular Green Bushes tune. Strictly, it has no tune; but can of course be sung to Green Bushes, which is included (as TARWATHI.MID) with the other DT entry, FAREWELL TO TARWATHIE. This latter is presumably a transcription from a Judy Collins record; in a past discussion here, Tarwathie, it is shown that Collins learned the song from Sandy Paton, who had it from Ewan MacColl, who had it from A. L. Lloyd, who had it from "John Sinclair, a native of Ballater, in Durban, South Africa, 1938". That set was published in MacColl and Seeger's The Singing Island (1960) and the DT midi is not too far from it. One for a cross-reference; and perhaps some incorporation of background information from the Forum. Roud 2562. 1188 FAITHJON FAITHFUL JOHNNY. An obscure American act called "The Pratie Heads" are implicated here, but Jean Redpath is also mentioned (they probably learned it off her recording). She got the song from the Dransfield brothers, who got it from Johnny Handle (John Pandritch), who reportedly got it from an old school songbook, The Merry Piper Song Book for Schools. Midi made from notation in another (not so old) school songbook, Sing Together! 100 Songs for Unison Singing, William Appleby and Frederick Fowler, OUP 1967. Thread 'Faithful Johnny' contains authorship and background information, and some additional verses. Either the tune has changed rather rapidly, or it isn't the same one at all (which is possible; see thread) but this is at least a (moderately) documented alternative. Could do with a midi transcribed from the Redpath or Dransfield records too, really; or even from the Beethoven arrangement! 103 AMPHITRI THE ANFORD-WRIGHT From Cox, Folk-Songs of the South. No tune was noted and this appears to be the only example found in tradition of an English broadside ballad, Loss of the Amphitrite. Roy Palmer, Boxing the Compass, 2001, p. 206, gives details of the event of 1833 which inspired the piece. No traditional tune known for this one, then (it may never have any one tune associated with it in any case); though the metre is standard and somebody wanting to sing it might try Van Diemen's Land or Lazarus/Come All Ye Worthy Christian Men, for example. Another suitable tune would be Rounding the Horn, which also mentions an Amphitrite, though not necessarily the same one (although Roud does classify it, too, under number 301). 147 ASHLANDM THE ASHLAND TRAGEDY Again from Cox, with no tune. Roud 2263. 148 ASHLAND2 THE ASHLAND TRAGEDY II Another song about the same event, also published without tune. There is yet a third song here, THE ASHLAND TRAGEDY III This time with tune; but all three appear to be unrelated. Roud lists only one further example with a tune: Library of Congress recording 2825 A1, Joe Hubbard, Hamiltown, Virginia, 1938, rec. Hebert Halpert. Discovering which, if any, of these songs it might be would depend on somebody going there and listening to it, presumably. |

28 Apr 03 - 01:41 PM (#942017) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas 1463 CALICODR GIRL WITH A CALICO DRESS By J. H. Tenney. Sheet music at American Memory (Library of Congress): Girl with a Calico Dress. 1650 HASHSCOR HASH MY FATHER SCORED This is a duplicate of THE HASH MY FATHER SCORED, and should probably be deleted. The tune is, of course, The Sash My Father Wore; there is a link to a midi in the latter file. 1734 HLLGRENM THE HILLS OF GREENMORE The S. Span/Terry Woods recording. Pretty well the same tune as the one posted by Belfast for the Gaughan recording, Granemore Hare. A cross-reference should do. The third DT text, 1735 HILLGRE2 HILLS OF GREENMORE (2), was transcribed from a Dervish record and I can't at the moment recall whether or not they used the same tune. 1940 HARLMDOV I'VE BEEN TO HARLEM An American variant of an English drinking game. No source named in the DT file, but the text is very close to a (presumably) well-known set which was used on the BBC Schools radio programme Singing Together back in the 1960s. Midi made from notation in Sing Together! 100 Songs for Unison Singing, William Appleby and Frederick Fowler, OUP 1967, where it appeared as Turn the Glasses Over. No source is named there, either; it's described simply as "American Singing Game". The text was as follows: I've been to Harlem, I've been to Dover, I've traveled this wide world all over, Over, over, three times over, Drink what you have to drink and turn the glasses over. Sailing east, sailing west Sailing over the ocean, Better watch out when the boat begins to rock, Or you'll lose your girl in the ocean. I've set the DT words to the tune, though. In two places, with modifications to make it fit: in line six, o'er has been changed to over to give it the required two syllables, and in bar 12 the second half-note has been split into a dotted quarter and an eighth, with the latter lowered from A to G (the pitch of the following two eighths) to accommodate the additional You'd in line 7. |

30 May 03 - 11:44 PM (#962358) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: Malcolm Douglas 280 HARTHACN BATTLE OF LARGS (Hardyknute) This is the same as HARDYKNUTE (BATTLE OF LARGS). Lesley Nelson originally posted just the 3 verses given in Songs of Scotland vol II (presumably the Myles Foster book; the date Lesley quotes is for vol. I, edited by Pitman and Brown, which was some years earlier, I think). Subsequently she added further verses from the Scots Musical Museum. See thread LYR & MUS ADD: Hurdyknute - what date?, where Lesley posted miditext and abc for the tune as printed in SOS, and Bruce also posted abcs from SMM and two others. The SOS tune is identical to SMM apart from slightly different gracenotes in two places and was likely adapted from it. The texts in both DT files are identical, but different extracts from the original thread have been copied into each. Notes in BATTLE OF LARGS (Hardyknute) are vague and not terribly coherent or helpful; this would be the redundant file, then, and an obvious candidate for deletion. The midi at Mudcat Midis was generated by nwc and as usual note-values are set incorrectly for other midi editors, but the midi it was edited from (Lesley's; the arrangement is that from SOS, and source ought to be indicated at the midi pages) is nearly ok, though for some reason she has altered the barring and transposed the tune down three steps without indicating the appropriate new key signature. You might have been better off with the abc Bruce supplied, but there is a mistake in it. I'll add a standard-format midi from the notation in SMM with the next batch. 359 ERICDAU3 BIRTH OF ROBIN HOOD (C) This is a duplicate of BIRTH OF ROBIN HOOD C Text from the Kinloch MSS, V, 330 f. No tune was noted. Both files fail to mention Child's rather important note: "the last two stanzas of Douglass Dale". The Kinloch text of Douglass Dale (Child 101, Willie o Douglas Dale) had those two verses stuck on the end. That version (Child 101C) has no tune, but two others are known. Both are in Bronson. I sent in a midi for the text in the DT (Willy o' Douglas Dale from Mrs Brown of Falkland, though the source information hasn't been added to the online DT) nearly 3 years ago, but it's not at the old or new Midi pages so far as I can see. 1521 GOODLUCK THE GOOD LUCK SHIP. Text from a Peter Bellamy record. Peter learned the song from Harry Cox of Catfield, Norfolk; it's a relative of THE ROYAL OAK (Roud 951). Midi made from notation in The Journal of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, vol V (no.1) 1946, p.20 (noted by Francis M. Collinson, 1945/6). |

05 Jul 03 - 07:53 AM (#977220) Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing DT tunes - Part NINE From: OldPossum I CAN SAIL (filename[ CANSAIL2) tune posted here. This is actually a song in the Swedish language, so I would suggest renaming the title of the DT entry to the Swedish "Vem kan segla". It is perhaps a bit misleading to have an English title to a Swedish song. There is an error in line 2 of the first verse. It should read: vem kan skiljas fraan vaennen sin utan att faella taarar. aa represents the letter å - the DT file probably got it wrong during the character conversion. This tune also covers WHO CAN SAIL (filename[ CANSAIL). This is an English translation of the above song, and I don't think it was meant to be a singable translation, since it doesn't scan very well. I sure wouldn't like to try aligning the lyrics to the tune! Actually the DT editor(s) might consider incorporating WHO CAN SAIL in the notes to I CAN SAIL and so have the translation in the same file as the Swedish original. Anyway WHO CAN SAIL can be covered with a cross-reference to this tune. |
