The Rose Amang The Heather

I transcribed this from a Ceolbeag album,and on the sleeve it says "Amang",which is,as Dow pointed out,Lallands for "among".

Alternative tune

As I say, this tune is well known as "The Lad wi' the Plaidie" but I do know that it is also known as "The Rose Among/Amang the heather" and I've heard recordings with the that title too. I don't know what the original title was, though.

There is another tune called "Rose Among the heather" as I mentioned which I had to learn for the same set. This is the ABC here.

Rose amang the heather

There is also a Scottish 6/8 tune called The Rose among the Heather. I thinks its a jig but its so long since I've played it that it might be a quickstep or even a pipe march . I didn't appreciate the difference first time round.

"Rose

The 'highland fling' version of the tune linked to above is this minus the third part, C-part, though in some cases parts of the third part can be picked up as a second ending for the B-part, such as the last two or four measures. Here is an example, using the original notation given here:

Amang the Heather"

Damn! ~ something odd is happening with my keyboard... There, that has been cured. This has happened a few times while I was entering information, also affecting cut-and-paste in odd ways. Now to see if I can get this to work ~

It's not a reel, it's a schottishe ~ and I have no idea how the 3rd part should sound. AbcNavigator plays that in some weird way. :-/
