Description: | This is indeed the 'New Way'; the first strain is recognisably the same tune as in the Vickers and Bewick tune books and elsewhere, but the second is completely different. This is a good setting in its own right, though confusingly it is halfway to being a distinct tune rather than a variant.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:R1200011 | Go to resource |
