Hello all,
I am writing out my arrangement of this lovely WALTZ ( not the jig by the
same name). I learned it from my Grandfather long time back, and I seem to
remember he called it the Mist Covered Mountains of Home. At any rate, I
searched through the abc-index online and the melody I remember is very
similar to the one I found at Richard Robinson's tune book.
My questions: does anyone know where this tune came from? The Gaelic on the
RR website is "Chi mi na mor-bheanna". What is the tune about? (I know what
my Grandfather said it was about, but one time when I told the tale I was
laughed out of the room...."That's not right! If you knew the Gaelic, you'd
forget that story fast!")
Kindness is *always* appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!
