Lucy Campbell's

Here's a nice 4 part reel.

I've always wondered if the person who wrote this was a fan of The Bucks Of Oranmore...

Lucy Campbell's

Perhaps the seed of The Bucks of Oranmore ? They do indeed sound VERY similar, but I have a Neo-Darwinian faith that given plenty musicians learning by ear, pleasant sounding mistakes, imaginative variations and enough time, the two will evolve into two different sounding creatures.

The seed or the fruit of its loins?... I wonder whether they actually will diverge as you say. I suspect that they are both too well documented in the form of books, recordings, net postings etc to change significantly. I'd like to think not.

Family Ties

I have often thought he same thing - about the first part in particular. But then, I always find in these cases, that the tune also bears resemblance to some other tune entirely, for example, the final part of this tune is almost identical to the 2nd part of The Union reel (whose 1st part is very similar to the 1st part of The Foxhunter's Reel).

...and hasn't anyone noticed that The Bucks of Oranmore, despite the different rhythm, bears an uncanny melodic and structural resemblance to the common 4-part version of The Lark in the Morning - which, in turn resembles the multi-part D version of The Geese in the Bog, which is related to the 2-part Am/C version ....and so on. There seems to be almost a continuous spectrum of tunes - so much so that I've been led right off the topic of Lucy Cambell's.

Lucy Campbell vs Billy Brocker's

Am I mistaking or is Billy Brocker's Reel simply the first two parts of Lucy Campbell, or perhaps a two-part version?

The Boyne Hunt also sounds a bit like a two-part version of this. I don't know the relation of the tunes though.

Sounds like the bucks and Last nights fun.
