The Legacy Tunebook - Free Download

The Legacy Tunebook - Free Download

The Legacy was the first in a series of tunebooks I devised during the early 1990s which was to consist of a selection of Scottish tunes from various sources. For one reason or another, these books failed to materialise, but I recently came across a number of test pages which I’d made to judge the look and readability of the layout. I have now collected these pages together and present a small, personal selection of tunes I’ve found and liked, and which hopefully you’ll like too.

Thanks for the book Nigel - this will be very useful.

PS I promise to keep it traditional by ignoring the dots.

Re: The Legacy Tunebook - Free Download

Very good, thanks Nigel.
Seasider, did you try right-clicking first and then choosing "save as" or "save link as" ?

Then it should open in Adobe Acrobat Reader or any pdf reader.

Re: The Legacy Tunebook - Free Download

Thanks for sharing your work, i think it will be great to look through. I'll be interested to see where versions I know vary from yours. And to check out the ones I don't know, that will be fun too.

don't tell llig, maybe he won't notice.

Re: The Legacy Tunebook - Free Download

Thanks for that nigelg - always nice to get the chance to persuse some new (to me!) Scottish tunes ...

(Right-cliicking the link - then choosing "save as" was the only way that worked for me, too.)

Re: The Legacy Tunebook - Free Download

Thanks for the download and the tunes, Nigel. I was interested to see another *Miss Johnston* tune - I believe she played a keyboard (not sure which) back in the 18thC. I guess you know about her.

Re: The Legacy Tunebook - Free Download

Thank you, NigelG.

Very generous to share that.

Also good news is, it led me to your bio, and then to Youtube, and then to your website, and then to "Hoch Hay". Nice tune, I first heard it from Lunasa when they were over here. I have found the tune in many places online, but I have not found the song associated with it, as of yet. I will keep looking.

Could you offer any info about the song's lyrics, author, place of origin, etc. etc.?

Thank you again for sharing "The Legacy".
