Description: | This tune is probably Scottish, there is a short set corresponding to Crawhall's strains 1 and 2 in James Aird's Collection. The variations may be local though, and also appear in G in Armstrong's 20th century manuscript, possibly copied from Crawhall. It is worth noting that while the tune begins strain 1 with an E minor figure and strain 2 with a G major figure, all the variation strains begin in G major (strain 2 is not a variation despite the caption).The tune forms part of nineteenth century tune manuscript compiled by Joseph Crawhall and dated 1872. Joseph Crawhall was born at West House, Newcastle in 1821, the eldest son of Joseph Crawhall the industrialist. A renowned woodcut artist, he also had a great interest in music, landscape painting, and fishing. He published a small song book (A Beuk of Newcassel Sangs), and a small book of tunes for Northumbrian smallpipes which he saw chiefly as an aid to competitors. This manuscript is largely copied from the William Vickers manuscript, but also contains a few local items of great interest which either don't appear elsewhere or are different versions of tunes already known. ; Late nineteenth century tune manuscript in the hand of local illustrator and woodcut artist Joseph Crawhall. | Rights holder: | rights holder : Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum | Temporal: | start=1861;end=1900; | Source: | Folk Archive Resource North East | Identifier: | farne:M0403301 | Go to resource |
