Jack,
Thanks for the information.
It is also used as the air of a song in the _Scots Musical Museum_ which
you do not want to know about. If you can adapt it for the pipes as well,
it'll fit on anything.
I didn't need to adapt it. Matt's book is a selection from the
'Bewick's Pipe Tunes' held in Gateshead Public Library, mss. dated
1830s/40s. It plays excellently as written on Northumbrian Pipes. It's
written out in G with a range from low D to high a, couldn't be better
for that instrument.
Or given the Catholic/ Jacobite
associations of this particular tune,
What associations are they?
Cheers
Richard
