I would be awfully greatful to you for a trnascribtion into abc

Re: [scots-l] Help with Chords

[danmozell]

> I'm having difficulty fitting chords to this tune. Here's my effort -
> can anybody suggest anything better?

I hear it pretty close to your version but I like the first and fifth
measure G chords to last through the measure. I know that the notes of the
second half of those measures are theoretically closer to a D chord, but I
think the second and sixth measures somehow stand out better if the D
chord is fresh with those measures. I think, for my ears, it has something
to do with hearing a chord change (G to D) over a repeated note (A note at
end of first measure and A note at beginning of second measure). It
somehow drives the tune forward into the second measure to hear that.

The way I hear it might change if I had a real instrument with me, or if I
played the tune for a while. I'm just doing this at work on a computer.
Nice tune Nigel!

[scots-l] Help ID a tune in an Realaudio file, please

[John Erdman]

The tune can be heard at:
http://www.redshoepub.com/audio/MairiRankin2.ram

The above URL can also be found by going the the Red Shoe site and
navigating to the Gallery section.

I'd like to know the name of the first reel that Mairi and Ian play in this
set. It's close to the surface of my brain, but I can't seem to nail it
down.

The second tune is Hull's Reel by John Morris Rankin's.

Thanks,
John

I found a complete book of his poetry (paperback) at the local

resources at Amazon, B&N (or similar mega-book store) or the local
library.

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.

Slainte,

Elheran

Nothing more than that, Robyn. I've obviously got too much time on my

coming my way and I can't see me having many spare moments in the day.
The list heaves a sigh of relief. And goes dead for a month.

Thanks for doing so. I'll stop the nearest Gaelic speaker and ask
him/her to say it out loud. Actually there's a pocket of Gaelic
speakers near me on the Western edge of Perthshire. Occasionally on the
bus to Perth you can eavesdrop on fascinating conversations going on
all over the bus. If only I knew what they were saying. About me.

I know I'm asking for trouble, but how would you pronounce "coire an
lochan"?

Gaelic is a complex language to pronounce and to do it properly, one actually

Thanks for that, George - most interesting. The article I found
(regarding fern cutting) said

"[Ferns] were used as litter for cattle and...makeshift beds for weary
travellers. Ferns were also used as a compound for manure or for
covering corn stacks...they were also utilised in the ancient craft of
thatching cottage roofs...Ferns, when green and in full fruition, were
also burned to procure an alkali mixture used in...bleaching.

"Most of the work involving fern collecting and its subsequent uses
round the domestic hearth fell to women...One of the most strenuous
tasks involving ferns was carrying them home to remote cottages over
wild landscapes...great bulks were easily carried and practice meant
that women could skilfully and even gracefully skip in an agile fashion
over the greenery and across rushing streams with an almost
lighthearted air..."

Hello, Nigel and all,
You're welcome.  No, I'm not new to the list, but have been lurking for some 
time!  My main interests are Gaelic song and harp music (I play nylon 26 & 34 
string harps).  I also like to listen to fiddle and pipe music, and find the 
discussions here very interesting.

All the best,

Sorry to answer my own post, but I've just read an article on
fern-cutting which states that ferns are "called 'raineach' in Gaelic".
The tune called "Buain na Rainich" is a version of the tune I know as
"Cutting ferns", so I surmise that the gaelic means, em, cutting ferns?
I'd still like to know how it's promounced, though.

Cutting Bracken?  (reading "fraineach" for "rainich").

Re: [scots-l] Help with Gaelic

[Egclarsach]

Nigel Gatherer asked for translation/pronunciation of "Buain na Rainich," 
which is the title of a Gaelic song also sometimes called "Tha mi Sgith."  A 
very nice song!
Buain na Rainich means "Reaping (harvesting) the Bracken".  
It is a little hard to put the pronunciation into English, but here goes:  
Booin na rah-nich  (where the n is as if it had a tilde--"ny" and ch is like 
the ch in "loch.")
I looked through all my tapes and cd's  for this song and was only able to 
find it on the Tappan Sisters' "When Teacher Wasn't Looking" (1993 Fiddlers 
Crossing) and on harp with Charles Guard "Avenging and Bright," (1980 
Shanachie).  The words and translation were published in Cothrom, no. 24, 
Summer 2000.  
I hope this helps.

Can one of our Gaelic speakers tell me how to pronounce the following,
please?

BUAIN NA RAINICH

And what does it mean?

[scots-l] Help: HIGHLAND MUSIC CENTRE

[George Seto]

Here's something I found at http://www.mudcat.org

   Subject: HIGHLAND MUSIC CENTRE
   [49] From: [50] Max Tone
   Date: 16-Feb-01 - 08:20 PM
   Shop: [51] Heritage
   
   Been offline awhile, folks, 'cos of wacky projects, like below. Hi,
   again!
   
   HIGHLAND MUSIC & ARTS CENTRE
   
   I'm assembling a team to buy and run
   
   DALMORE HOUSE, Alness, Easter Ross, Scotland
   
   as an education and performance centre for Traditional Arts, with
   every conceivable music, craft and muso/arts biz course available +
   spaces to rent to young performers, tutors, promoters, and
   entrepreneurs.
   
   It's the old owners mansion for neighbouring Dalmore Distillery (a
   fine single malt), with extensive space for accommodation (18 big
   bedrooms), offices (7), studios, instrument building/pottery/crafts
   workshops, rehearsals, tuition, bar, performances and sessions, plus
   22 acres FESTIVAL FRIENDLY (I was there!) grounds, 4 staff cottages,
   kennels, outbuildings, 2 acre organic walled garden (with permission
   for new house), Salmon & 1/2 mile Trout fishing, visible from main A9
   road, own wooded avenue to rail station, 150 yds from local High
   School, with tech/classroom facilities and 500 cap. car park, full
   disabled access, catering and smaller kitchens, fire ticket, Public
   Ents. and Market Trading licences and HUGE local pool of musicians,
   artists, promoters, songwriters, tutors and supporters.
   
   Offers over £320,000, (about $500,000) for the lot. Seemingly good
   structural & decorativc condition (1935 build), but the decor's no' ma
   taste! Big building running costs
   
   We have vocal and written messages of support from the local and
   national Music, Whisky, Hotel, Tourism, Trad Arts & other businesses,
   Local council, Scottish Arts Council, Scottish Parliament members --
   it was discussed favourably by the Trad Arts Cross-Party group on
   Wednesday.
   In the new Scotland, we meet with the politicians in the pub, and the
   last item on the agenda is  tunes & sangs !!! Wicked.
   
   Loads of local and national media coverage, so far, and we're still
   pushing.
   No committed investors or CASH yet, but local & well respected muso
   hotelier doing business plan, School head/adminisrator + Scots
   historian/Lighting designer/show-wise combo interested in coming in,
   plus we're hitting regional rich muos/impresarios like Sirs Tim Rice
   and Cameron Mackintosh.
   
   We're appealing to the internet Folk/Blues community for
   feedback/support on the plan + interest from potential overseas
   students for song/tune/instrumental/craft holiday courses,
   active/passive investors in the building and/or project running, as
   well as contacts with possible sponsors.
   
   Please post any interest in such a Scottish Music centre, and we'll
   add your names to the petition running round the Highlands just now.
   
   We're particularly looking for SERIOUS contacts with the JIM BEAM USA
   group. They own next-door DALMORE distillery & single Malt name, + 40
   odd Blended Scotch brands, as well as other famous malts, & their
   European Group HQ in Glasgow is called ...Dalmore House. If we
   can't market Dalmore Foundation Trad Arts & Heritage centre beside the
   whisky round the world, we might as well go home. Likewise Scots music
   and Scotch, generally. Where would Rabbie Burns have been wi'oot a
   dram?
   
   JB have huge US Rock/Country foundation and grants system,
   administered by serious names, such as Pat Dinizio, presidents of
   Gibson, Warners, Columbia, and other musbiz bigwigs.
   
   We're hyping it R & R style all the way to the closing date for
   offers. Please sign up below, or leave message on my board.
   
   Rob

I've never come across it. The nearest to the title I can think of would
be "Lay Dee At Dee".
