[NSP] Tune of the Month June and July 2011
"Felton Lonnin" was suggested as tune of the month for June. I forget who suggested it. I didn't make a video due to an extremely busy travel schedule over the last six weeks, but I hope to get something up on youtube by Thursday--tomorrow. If not then, then sometime soon, I hope. Perhaps the lack of response indicates a lack of interest, or perhaps "FL" is just too much to attempt right off the bat. Looking for something a bit more accessible, the tune for July will be "Roxburgh Castle." Please post a link on the forum and/or dartmouth news group. All the best, John -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

[NSP] Re: Ahh yes the Northumbrian Minstrelsy
For the tunes at least, a lot more interesting than NM - though it was important when it came out - is the source material for it, a lot of which is on FARNE. The Antiquaries society MS, Topliff's collection and of course Vickers and Atkinson, are all there, and were sources for NM. The Antiquaries society MS includes variation sets which are extensions of Peacock - eg versions of Cut and Dry with top a's in an extra strain. Stokoe mixed tunes up, cut variation sets mercilessly, bowdlerised titles, and seems not to have fully understood the nature of the music he was dealing with. But the Antiquaries society wouldn't have got that material collected if it hadn't been for that letter...

Ah got it. Stupid iPhone goofed the formatting. All is working. This is superb. Any suggestions for a yank like me where to focus efforts tunewise? Something like a standard top 20-40 Northumbrian fiddle tune or set list. Looking for something similar for pipes as well.

Lady Dorothea was the daughter of the Duke of Atholl. In 1909 she was offered a MS book by a Charles Mackintosh of Inver. She offered to pay for it whereupon the old man threw it in the fire. She rescued it. It was the Dixon MS. Matt puts the story in the intro to his book. Obviously she had a considerable music collection, which was donated to either Perth library or the NLS.

One of the more obvious limitiations of the mailing list format is the fixed line length. Some forums have the same problem. It would be useful if this information was posted on the NPS forum then it will remain available for future pipers Mike Quoting Julia Say : On 29 Jun 2011, Francis Wood wrote: The URLs are just fine.

Kohler's Violin Repository, a hard to find but much used source of tunes for fiddlers in this area in the C19.
