Description: | Significantly different from the Robert Bewick version earlier in the manuscript, this tune retains the low Fs of the Border pipe version, though they are given as F sharps, making the arpeggio figure in bar 2 of each strain sound very odd. The source is not given, but it would be intriguing to know whether it survives and what else it contains. The tune forms part of The 'Melodies Committee' manuscript, which appears to be a gathering together of tunes from which much of the contents of the Northumbrian Minstrelsy (1882) were selected, though its compilation continued after the date of the Minstrelsy's publication. It contains contributions in a number of hands from a number of sources, most of which are named. Items which directly reproduce other sources included on the FARNE site, such as Atkinson, Bell, Peacock and Mackintosh, have not been included, though alternative versions of tunes have been. ; Collection of local tunes compiled by the Society of Antiquaries | Publisher: | compilers : Society of Antiquaries | Rights holder: | rights holder : Society of Antiquaries | Temporal: | start=1861;end=1900; | Source: | Folk Archive Resource North East | Identifier: | farne:R1106801 | Go to resource |
