Re: [scots-l] Re: Few Notes

Going a bit further afield, a while back as a Scottish dance, we included the following simple but beautiful tune in a medley for an air-type strathspey. Some of the dancers recognized it and had big grins on their faces. We omitted the repeat of the fourth phrase, of course, to get 16

Re: [scots-l] Tonic Sol-Fa

I have no recollection of learning sol-fa at school, but it's obvious that I did, because it is ingrained; I can hear a piece of sol-fa, I can sing sol-fa correctly, and with a very small effort can write it fairly well. And I'm sure that many other people can as well .. What do you

Re: [scots-l] Few Notes

I came across the Irish polka below, and what drew me to it was how few notes are used in the tune (five in all). [i.e. D to B for a D whistle] That tune seems to be derived from March to the Battlefield, which itself uses a full octave. I'm trying to find Scottish tunes which use as few
