14 Apr 08 - 05:03 PM (#2315554) Subject: RE: Devils delight..? From: GUEST,strad I'm also looking for either ABC or the dots for The Devil's Delight which is a Dan R Macdonald tune. I already know The Devil's Dream which is a different tune. |
14 Apr 08 - 05:46 PM (#2315593) Subject: RE: Devils delight..? From: GUEST,meself Devil's Dream seems a variant of Deil in the Kitchen, a Scottish tune. FWIW. |

14 Apr 08 - 07:01 PM (#2315663) Subject: RE: Devils delight..? From: Sorcha I found no evidence of a tune called Devils Delight. Sorry. |
14 Apr 08 - 07:16 PM (#2315679) Subject: RE: Devils delight..? From: GUEST,blagpipe Devil's Dream is listed as a reel in Ryan's Mammoth Collection. I've played it on guitar...it's there. Go to Elderly Instruments to peruse contents if you do not have the book. |

14 Apr 08 - 07:46 PM (#2315710) Subject: RE: Devils delight..? From: Sorcha OK, so can we find sheet music for the Delight one? I HAVE Devils Dream and Coles. |
14 Apr 08 - 07:54 PM (#2315714) Subject: RE: Devils delight..? From: Melissa I didn't see anything that looked like sheet music or TAB (which is what I think the re-opening poster wants?) but it did look like there's possibly a recording at the link in my first post. If you find out whether Devil's Delight is a different song or a rearrangement of Devil's Dream, I hope you'll come back here and let us know? I'm kind of curious now.. |
15 Apr 08 - 06:26 PM (#2316732) Subject: RE: Devils delight..? From: GUEST,meself If it's a Dan R. MacDonald tune - and it seems to me Dan R. did compose a tune of that name - it's a completely and utterly different piece. |
15 Apr 08 - 06:46 PM (#2316753) Subject: RE: Origins: Devils delight..? From: Jack Campin The tune is published here: http://www.cranfordpub.com/books/HeatherHill.htm Paul Cranford is well worth supporting. |
16 Apr 08 - 11:07 AM (#2317306) Subject: RE: Origins: Devils delight..? From: GUEST,strad Still looking for the notes that make up the tune so I can learn it to play for pleasure along with Trip to Windsor, and Mrs Norman Mackeegan as a set. Just thought someone might have the ABC of it. |
16 Apr 08 - 11:20 AM (#2317312) Subject: RE: Origins: Devils delight..? From: Mr Happy I've checked out the Session & JC's for your title - not found. Have you an alternative name for this tune? |
16 Apr 08 - 11:22 AM (#2317315) Subject: RE: Origins: Devils delight..? From: Jack Campin Buy the book. If Dan's heirs had wanted it given away for free, the ABC would be on Paul Cranford's site (along with many other tunes where the owner of the rights doesn't mind). Paul is doing something valuable and is worth supporting. Financially. |
16 Nov 09 - 10:58 PM (#2767515) Subject: RE: Origins: Devils delight..? From: GUEST this tune can be found in the book "winston fitzgerald :a collection of fiddle tunes". it was originally called "the dismal reel". |
