03 Jul 03 - 10:44 AM (#975955) Subject: Tune Req: Lilliburlero From: GUEST,mjschryver@yahoo.com 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 |

04 Jul 03 - 12:26 PM (#976720) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Lilliburlero From: delphinium 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. |

Also "My thing is my own" is about six years earlier than "Lilliburlero". |
