These variations came from a discussion thread regarding the need to breath for wind players and finding places to 'use' that necessity, those silent spaces, with purpose and effect...
NOTE: Just a small spacing problem with the first ABC's offered above, for a clearer setting out of the triplets ~ the A-part, 1st and 5th measures:

This setting is the one I play and differs a little from other settings I've seen in various places. ~ the only difference between The Little Stack Of Barley and The Stack Of Barley is the key ... ... a lot of people call this tune The Stack Of Barley anyway.
