Hi Matt, Thanks for producing the 'abc' of the tune. That's really helpful. In web searches I've so far found transcriptions in D and in C but both appear to me to go back to Oswald.
In regard to what you said about where this search might go, I've not yet found any local variant, not any other tune under the same or a very similar name (having said that, I've been busy over the last few days, so I haven't looked very thoroughly). Thanks again, Richard >----Original Message---- >From: theborderpi...@googlemail.com >Date: 04/08/2009 10:43 >To: "Dartmouth NPS"<nsp@cs.dartmouth.edu>, "NPS Discussion" <discuss...@northumbrianpipers.org.uk> >Subj: [NSP] Re: [NPS-Discussion] Robert Bewick tune > >This thread seems to have been split between the dartmouth and NPS > groups so I'm resending this bit to both.
