[NSP] Parnell's March
Parnell's March NPS Bk 2, p.3: it's written out as a jig, but isn't it really a hornpipe? To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[NSP] Re: Parnell's March
I thought it was a march! There isn't much to choose between how people play dotted 4/4, (as in the duet book arrangement of this) and how they play 12/8 anyway. If it has 4 beats in the bar, (strong-weak-strong-weak) and a good bounce to the rhythm, it will sound right, however you spell it.

Hello both all, 12/8 is the most accurate way of getting the Newcastle (as James Hill named it) hornpipe rhythm across (i.e. best for writing the common hornpipe 2:1 note ratio). The dotted quaver/semiquaver system gives a 3:1 ratio which is not accurate (as anyone who has used a computer to play a common time hornpipe will have realised). Stewart Hardy has pointed out many times that it all comes down to seeing beyond the notes and using a trained mind to interpret them. As he says, a traditional musician must look at the notes, recognise the groove, sing the tune in their head and decide on decoration and emphasis all at the same time in order that our imperfect nomenclature can't do the nasty on us.

[NSP] Re: Parnell's March
Hi All, There is of course a great deal of truth in Anthony's post, but notating hornpipes in 12/8 just doesn't do it for me. The 2:1 ratio is certainly a good guide. 3:1 feels more scottish to me. The problem I found with Parnell's march in 6/8 is that when I see 3 quavers in a 6/8 rhythm I absolutely do not want to play them even. In a hornpipe, I believe the introduction of triplets is meant to smooth out the rhythm, for a while, in contrast to the dotted 'n dashed uns as Joe Hutton would call them. Stewart Hardy is also correct and this shows the difficulty in playing from music. AFAIK Northumbrian music has always been a semi-literate tradition. Tunes were noted down lest they be forgotten or as an aid to learning, but I dont think their was ever a great tradition of shepherds getting out their music stands in order to play.

[NSP] Drone Reed Tongue Video
I am uploading sections of a video of Colin Ross making the tongue for a metal bodied drone reed, filmed at the same time as the chanter reed video.. I have left it 'uncut' In the interests of accuracy, mindful that what I think is surplus to the production, might be crucial piece of information for someone else. This segment was lost until now, and formed part of his drone reed method in total. I am still looking for the 'metalwork' section but it is proving illusive. Apologies and thanks again for the many hours that Colin donated through his time and expertise. The 'laugh' at the end is a reflection of his relief that filming was over. Be patient if the 4 parts don't appear immediately, the uploading process is behaving stubbornly.
