Can anyone tell me the name of this tune?
(in Edor)
E3B BAFE|F2dF eFdF|E3B BAFA|BcdB AFDF|
FE~E2 BAFE|F2dF eFde|fdAd BAFG|AFdF AFDF:|g3e fgfe|dB~B2 dBAf|g3.................
I thought that at first, D.J.F. But this is a tune I know, and I also know the Morning Dew, and it's different. It's a little bit like the Roscommon as well, but I don't think that's it either ... Well, the OP will tell us if it's one of those ...
I wish you hadn't bloody asked this, gian marco! It's bugging me now. I'm going to be spending the rest of the evening tossing bits of old dusty paper around the room trying to find a scrap with a fragment. Grrr ...
I know you posed the question, gian marco, so I guess you should have the answer ... but I don't think it's J's W to C. For a start, that second part is distinctive, and belongs to something else. And it definitely goes with the first part ...
I agree with Jerry. Start on the D note and play C naturals. and a slightly sharp f note and it sounds an awful lot like it. But Jenny Picking Cockles and Jenny's Welcome to Charlie are certainly very closely related tunes.
Busy girl, that Jenny. What with welcoming Charlie, picking the cockles, danging the weaver, feeding the chickens and fending off marriage proposals it's a wonder the poor lass ever gets a minute to herself.
It's either Jenny's Welcome to Charlie or the first two parts of The Long Note. They're pretty similar, and the third part of The Long Note doesn't seem to match the first two, so feels like an add-on to me anyway.

Re: Name this tune
Yeah I saw the 1st and 4th bars but looking at it properly you're right it probably isn't the Morning Dew.

Re: Name this tune
Is it a version of Jenny's Welcome to Charlie?

Re: Name this tune
Sure looks like a 2-part setting of the Roscommon to me. The dF eF de bit is much like a version Shane McAleer played when with Dervish.

Re: Name this tune
Yes Lynn W, it looks like Jenny's Welcome to Charlie.

Re: Name this tune
Heh, well then where are the other two parts?

Re: Name this tune
Sounds like a transposed version of Jenny Picking Cockles...

Re: Name this tune
That is not quite how I play it, The A part might well be Jenny's Welcome to Charlie.

Re: Name this tune
Having slept on it overnight, it looks like the cockles to me too ..

Re: Name this tune
Ok many thanks to all, anyway I prefer "my" 2 part version then the original 4 part tune. And The key of Edor is more suitable for the flute.
