Re: [scots-l] auld lang syne uploads
Rob MacKillop wrote: OK. I've uploaded the earliest known version of Auld Lang Syne, from the Balcarres MS c.1695-1700 as a straight transcription, but also as a basic guitar arrangement in DADGAD tuning. I have also uploaded both the versions in the Scots Musical Museum (numbers 25 and 413) for comparison. And also 'Hallow my Fancy' ( for Bruce), and some others from various Scottish lute manuscripts. Rob, Many thanks for the tune "Hallow my fancie" from the Balcarres lute MS. It fits the verses in the Percy folio manuscript beautifully. Where can I find directions for translating the tablature? There are some others I'd like to see translated. "Come hither, my bony bird chuck" might just be "Come hither my own sweet duck". In Simpson's 'The British Broadside Ballad and Its Music' there two tunes given under this latter title, but the evidence is for either being the correct tune is very weak.

I always dictate my name to receptionists etc as "Mackenzie with an 'a'". Doesn't necessarily help, though...
