Is there an obvious repertoire of tunes for this useful variant?

Didn't the inestimable Mr Hoffnung orchestrate for 3 vacuum cleaners and a 
floor 
polisher?

It was a long time ago, but I have the LP somewhere...

   Ever had one of those moments when you realize you've been working in
   the wrong direction all along?  I've been working hard so that my
   piping would NOT suck.

[NSP] Matching tune parts.....

2011-09-09 Thread Ian Lawther
I was playing through Tom Clough's Bobby Shaftoe this evening and  
realized that the 6th part is identical in pattern to the 4th part of 
the highland pipe march The Barren Rocks of Aden (P/M A MacKeller c. 
1843). The Barren Rocks is in D and written with a dot/cut rhythm in 
bars 1,2 5 and 6 and dot,cut,cut,dot in 3,4,and 7 while  Shaftoe is in C 
and even throughout but the only note difference is in final four notes 
of the seventh bar  where Barren Rocks sticks to the previous patterns 
and has AECE while Clough partially inverts what has come before to GBDB.
