Description: | A fine set of fiddle variations on the well known Scottish jig, including effective double-stops, octave leaps and a second position passage. The basic tune was frequently used by Tyneside lyricists. There are also other variation sets, including one for Northumbrian smallpipes, and further investigation may show up the connections between them.The tune is taken from a tune book which is part of the Cocks Collection held by Northumberland Record Office at Gosforth, with photocopies at the Black Gate and Morpeth Chantry. The book is a real miscellany of styles, and covers the gamut of 19th century light music. It is anonymous, and evidently the work of several different hands, but nevertheless has some traditional items of interest, including some rare and unique tunes. Only a selection is given here, with the 'ballroom' material omitted. ; 19th century tune book collected by W.A. Cocks. | Rights holder: | rights holder : Gosforth Records Office | Temporal: | start=1801;end=1840; | Source: | Folk Archive Resource North East | Identifier: | farne:R1200003 | Go to resource |
