Re: Am I Right !

Hmmm, I'm not convinced it's a variant of the same tune at all. There are a lot of old slip jigs that switch modes in the second half like this, and rhythmically the emphases are completely different. Sorry, but I reckon that's just somebody's mistake...

Re: Am I Right !

Jim, they're two different tunes, not different versions of the same tune. The only real similarities are in tune form (slip jigs in 9/8) and that they go from a minor/dorian A part to a major B part. Even if you transposed one into the other's key, they'd still come out different tunes. Compare Humours of Whiskey in Edor to what you have for Dever and you'll see (the only bit that's really similar is the ending for each part):

C#?

It should be minor, not dorian...

Re: Am I Right !

Jim, you had a correct apostrophe in "I'll" there. I'm disappointed in you.

Re: Am I Right !

Just for the craic, why don't you use it to demonstrate the difference between a hop jig and a slip jig. It's easy to see how the same tune can be played either way by comparing the ABCs. If you play the first and third of each group of three it pretty much becomes a hop jig, with a bit of tweaking here and there. I personally think hop jigs are in 3/2, not 9/8, but the same thing could be written out in 9/8 I'm sure.

Re: Am I Right !

You'd need to set the note length to L:1/4 for that tune Dragut. It defaults to 1/8 otherwise - making it 3/4 timing. Swedish polska rhythm, like the Coleman Foxhunter's I submitted.

# Posted on February 7th 2012 by Weejie

Re: Am I Right !

I definitely prefer 1/8 to 1/4.

# Posted on February 7th 2012 by Dragut Reis

Re: Am I Right !

"I definitely prefer 1/8 to 1/4"

OK, but then change the time signature to 3/4 otherwise us read too much folks will be confused...
