Composer
Um... Heinrik Norbek is a grand chap but I don't think we can credit him with this hornpipe which is a lot older than he is, I believe.

Heinrik! You look so young for your age! What's your secret?

I learnt thisprecisely version of 'stack of wheat' from Brian Gallagher at willie week some years ago.
That was beginners level, but it's a nice tune anyhow.

Can anyone think of any tunes to put this into a set?:
as far as I am aware this is the right name of the tune. At least this is what it was called when I learned it, and I think it's a cracking wee tune. Can anyone thing of some tunes to put it with?

Jen, this would fit nicely with the Wicklow Hornpipe (aka Delahanty's or Delahunty's) or Kitty's Wedding, both in the tunes here at thesession.org.

Tunes to play with Stack of Wheat
Our band does this with Off to California, they work quite well together. We usually start with Stack of Wheat and then go into Off to California.

Little Stack of Wheat
I would, being very thick, like to see a notation of this tune as played by Brady and Irvine, who didn't seem bothered to play it as a hornpipe, for a start. Also, off my record deck, their version comes out in F sharp - very difficult for my flautist wife to follow, while I have to capo 6 frets up and play it a string down on the 'zouk.

Pete,
John Blake/Lamond Gillespie/Mick Leahy play this on the album "Traditional Irish Music from London".
Its a nice recording ... and its not in "F"! So easier to accompany.

Andy Irvine/Paul Brady
The tune of the same name on the Andy Irvine/Paul Brady album is completely different from the tune posted here as far as I can make out. I've always known this one as simply "The Stack of Wheat" and the one on the AI/PB album as the "Little Stack of Wheat". Not sure if this last one has been posted.

Their version or something similar is posted as "Bantry Bay (The Little Stacks of Wheat)".
