16 Mar 03 - 06:16 AM (#911136) Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Salamanca From: GUEST,Maurice It's usually played in D...start with D then Em then Bm and back to D...this is an unusual progression in Irish music. |

16 Mar 03 - 06:50 AM (#911145) Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Salamanca From: alanabit As the piece is in the key of D, Smallpiper, it is almost certainly a B minor here as Guest Maurice says. In German lead sheets, the letter B usually stands for B-flat. By the way. Does the tune have any connection with the Battle of Salamanca (July 1st 1812) at which an army led by the Irishman Wellesly won one of the major battles of the Peninsula Campaign during the Napoleonic Wars? |

16 Mar 03 - 01:54 PM (#911338) Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Salamanca From: GUEST,MCP German notation B is standard Bb, H is standard B. The sheet music linked above uses lower case for minor chords. (Sorcha - the numbers above are not chords but triplet signs). Mick |

24 Sep 03 - 03:18 PM (#1024489) Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Salamanca From: Joe Offer Guest, can you give us more information about the lyrics you posted? This seems to be from the point of view of an Irish soldier fighting in the Spanish Civil War. How many songs are we talking about in this thread? I think it's good we keep them all here - but if we can sort them out, we may have some real treasures. Tunefinder lists several tunes with "Salamanca" in the title. "The Heroes of Salamanca" and "The Salamanca" and "Salamanca Reel" all seem to be the same tune. For that matter, "Salamanca Hornpipe" seems to be the same tune at a different tempo. I'm either lost, or dreadfully confused - one of the two. -Joe Offer- |
