I was playing through Tom Clough's Bobby Shaftoe this evening and
realized that the 6th part is identical in pattern to the 4th part of
the highland pipe march The Barren Rocks of Aden (P/M A MacKeller c.
1843). The Barren Rocks is in D and written with a dot/cut rhythm in
bars 1,2 5 and 6 and dot,cut,cut,dot in 3,4,and 7 while Shaftoe is in C
and even throughout but the only note difference is in final four notes
of the seventh bar where Barren Rocks sticks to the previous patterns
and has AECE while Clough partially inverts what has come before to GBDB.
