This is the same key sig as Edorian, of course, but the tonic is clearly A. So should the c's be sharp or natural? Part of why I'd put it into Amix is that it looks and sounds like a highland pipe tune. But I suppose it doesn't have to be. Maybe I'll try it in a few other scales and see how it works. A hijaz seems to work pretty well, so maybe it's really a Turkish pipe tune?

Always something there to remind me...

Re: [scots-l] ABCs
Oooh, I'm delighted--thanks, Nigel! I love sites like these!

Does anyone know of a site where I might find ABCs for Scottish tunes in general, but especially for bagpipes? Or even just the sheet music? I've found some of the more popular ones, but I'm looking for Bonawe Highlanders, Captain Lumsden, and Donald's Return from the Wars-- can't find them anywhere. I have about 270 ABCs on my website (see URL below), most of them Scottish, but I'm not sure there are very many pipe tunes. One of the tunes you're looking for, Bonawe Highlanders is there, but not the others. I've been meaning to learn Donald's Awa tae the Wars for a while, but haven't. I've got it on some records, so I'll look at it some day. Oh, another site you should look at is Jack Campin's. He's got loads of great tunes in ABC format, and if I remember correctly, loads of pipe tunes. http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/purrhome.html Actually I've just had a look at my abc list, and there's a fair number of pipe tunes.

Re: [scots-l] ABCs
Does anyone know of a site where I might find ABCs for Scottish tunes in general, but especially for bagpipes? Or even just the sheet music? I've found some of the more popular ones, but I'm looking for Bonawe Highlanders, Captain Lumsden, and Donald's Return from the Wars-- can't find them anywhere. From Harry Bain's index: Bonawe Highlanders: 11, 34, 75, 89, 106 Captain C.R. Lumsden: 79 Donald has Gone to the Wars (is that what you meant?): 46, 76, 90, 106 11: Army Piping Manual v1 34: Scottish Pipe Band Assoc book 1 75: Glendaruel Collection 79: GS MacLennan Highland Bagpipe Music (v1, there never was a v2) 89: Royal Scottish Pipers' Society book 90: The Piper's Delight 106: Seaforth Highlanders book The Seaforths book should be quite easy to find, and has two of your requests. GS's is the least accessible - I can get the tune for you from it later in the week, if you haven't found it meanwhile. I'm intending eventually to ABC-ify all of GS's tunes, bit by bit and in full detail, either as I learn them or as I'm asked for them; pointers to tunes not mentioned in the Gordon Highlanders book would be helpful. I don't have easy browsing access to a complete run of Piping Times; they've probably mentioned unpublished or obscurely published ones. The Army Manual is surprisingly rare - never reprinted since the 1930s. === http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ === Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

My ABC SCD collection is online at: http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/Scotland/ There are a lot of pipe tunes, as you might expect, but they aren't marked as such in any special way. I'm not a piper. I do play for a lot of Scottish dances, mostly on accordion, and pipe tunes are quite popular with the dancers. My versions are SCD versions, of course, aimed at players of the usual dance-band instruments, so they lack the complex ornaments you'd expect at a piper's site. I don't have any of the three tunes you asked for. Sorry. Maybe they'll show up here in a day or two ...
