Eleen, I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from other list members, however I felt this Burns Dictionary site would be useful as well: http://www.tartans.com/burns/BroadScotsDictionary.html Try these sites for his works and information on Robert Burns: http://www.rabbie-burns.com/index.cfm http://www.tamoshanter.free-online.co.uk/ http://www.innotts.co.uk/~asperges/burns.html A search on http://www.google.com/ will also produce many web sites to chose from.

[scots-l] Continuing adventures in the search for World Cup Reel Music
Well I have found some information and hope to get some help finding at least sheet music if not a copy of the album. Here are the particulars: The name of the tunes are Ormand's Favorite/The World Cup Reel by J.S.D. Band on an album titled Scotland Scotland in honor of the 1978 Scottish World Cup Team on Polydor 2382 282 SUPER produced by Phil Coulter and Bill Martin for Martin Coulter Enterprises Ltd. out of England. From what I have been able to find out, the J.S.D. Band was a popular Scottish Folk/Rock Band through the 70's and broke up in the early 80's. I have heard of a rumor that they have gotten back together and have released a couple new albums. Any information on the tunes Ormand's Favorite and The World Cup Reel would be greatly appreciated and/or help locating a copy of the album. Thanks, Elheran __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [scots-l] Music related to Scotland Winning the World Cup in the 80's
Do you know of any recordings of it? --- stan reeves [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ah you doubters. The Tune writen for this occassion was The Swines Wings. The composer was Tam Forsyth of Stonehouse who woke early on the day after he scored the winning goal from 40 yards, to the sound of fellow Stonehouse musician, Norman Chalmers, whose concertina music drifted down the Sidehead Road. Inspired by the sweetness of his playing, Tam whipped out his whistle and brought forth the seed of this lovely tune. He played the tune that evening at the local bowling club celebration, to great acclaim. Drink was taken, a late night end was set up, and with the manicured lawn heavy with dew, Tam took a breenge at the jack, fell backwords, and brained himself with a heavily biased wood. The tune, uncommitted to paper, was lost, and Tam never played for Scotland again. -- AY STAN -- From: Anselm Lingnau [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: local.m2n.scots-l Subject: Re: [scots-l] Music related to Scotland Winning the World Cup in the 80's Date: Mon, Jun 25, 2001, 1:48 pm In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Elheran Francis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to locate information a music which may have been written and recorded on the occasion of Scotland Winning the World Cup in Football (Soccer) in the early 80's.

[scots-l] Music related to Scotland Winning the World Cup in the 80's
Hello, I am trying to locate information a music which may have been written and recorded on the occasion of Scotland Winning the World Cup in Football (Soccer) in the early 80's. I believe one of the musicians involved was Fiddler John Turner from the Boston area of the US. There was a Scottish Highland Broadsword Dance called the World Cup Reel which was choreographed to go with the music. __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Re: [scots-l] Lyrics for Going Home ?
Thank you for the words. i do not play Harp, but have two friends that do, please send me details (direct to my e-mail) on how to get the book and I will forward them on to my friends. Elheran --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am trying to find the lyics for the Pipe Tune for Funerals and Memorials in Scotland called "Going Home". Hi, They're in my book for the wire-strung harp! It took a LOT of time to find them, and I'll tell you, if this were a harpers list I'd just ask you to wait till the book comes out in about 3 weeks. But, since otherwise the book probably wouldn't help this list's members much (unless you're into tune histories), here goes. I have to say they're rather weak, so I see why they aren't too popular. The story goes like this: (And this is quoted directly from my book, so please no plagiarizing. Thanks.) This melody is from the Largo movement of the Ninth Symphony, From The New World, composed by Antonin Dvorák in 1893. Dvorak was very familiar with elements of folk music: pentatonic scales, flattened sevenths, and even the Scots snap (the sixteenth note-dotted eighth note rhythm common in Scottish music). Dvorák was in America at the time this piece was written, serving as the Director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York. Dvorák’s student, William Arms Fisher, writes that this melody was the result of Dvorák’s study of the spiritual music of the African Americans. Fisher felt that the words “Goin’ Home” were suggested by the melody itself. He also believed that the melody was written at a time when Dvorák was homesick for his native Bohemia. Thus, when Fisher wrote the words for his vocal arrangement of the melody, he followed the theme of going home. Owing to the source of the melody’s inspiration, he chose to write the lyrics in the form of a negro spiritual. So, while some believe that Dvorák borrowed this melody from an early American folk song, it seems more likely that it is an original melody which he wrote in the style of a folk song. The tune has since passed into the repertoire of the Highland Bagpipe. And here are the lyrics. (Note: the part inside the quotes ... is for part of the melody that is usually not played on the pipes, and I left that bit out of my book, so these are "bonus words" for you all. To figure out how they fit, listen to Dvorak's symphony). So, here goes: Goin’ home, goin’ home, I’m a goin’ home; Quiet like, some still day, I’m jes’ goin’ home. It’s not far, jes’ close by, Through an open door; Work all done, care laid by, Gwine to fear no more. Mother’s there ‘spectin’ me Father’s waitin’ too; Lots o’ folk gather’d there, All the friends I knew. All the friends I knew. Home, home, I'm goin' home! Nothin' lost, all's gain, No more fret nor pain, No more stumblin' on the way, No more longin' for the day, Gwine to roam no more! Mornin’ star lights the way Res’less dream all done; Shadows gone, break o’ day, Real life jes’ begun. Dere’s no break, ain’t no end, Jes’ a livin’ on; Wide awake, with a smile Goin’ on and on. Goin’ home, goin’ home, I’m jes’ goin’ home, It’s not far, jes’ close by Through an open door. Hope you enjoyed that...and if you are interested in the whole book, do let me know!

Re: [scots-l] Brigadoon
I was once in a production of Brigadoon, where the 3 of us "ringers" made it a goal to get as many Scottish Swords and Lochaber axes on stage as possible, then we hatched a conspiracy to have everyone make a mock attack the guy who come to break up the wedding. The guy needed a change of kilt after that one. --- Derek Hoy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Chic said: I know what you mean, but just because the story was done really badly at a time when most stories were done really badly by Hollywood doesn't mean it can't be saved. Not sure it needs saved- it's fantasy. It's only a problem if folks start taking bits seriously (like authentic funeral-dancing). It would be simpler to explain to non-Scots that it is set in a land which is only a little bit like Scotland. A bit like the portrayal of Germany in 'Springtime for Hitler'. ... The basic storyline of a disappearing village which re-appears with inhabitants for whom time has not passed is in fact potentially a very useful literary device. Something like the General Assembly ?
