Scottish session tune list

Alright,
1.nobody asked for this,
2.it’s possibly been done already,
3.I know jeremy intended this site to be about “ITM” and
4.all I’ve done is crib the contents list off Christine Martin and Anne Hughes’ excellent Ho-Ro-Geallaidh Books of session tunes 1 & 2, but …
it’s a fairly good representation of tunes you might hear at a Scottish session, including some of the oft-played Irish tunes. I haven’t edited it to remove “composed by traditional” or listed it by tune type or alphabetically, so it’s not great for reference but it may make interesting browsing. The order is from the contents of the books’ pages which are roughly arranged in suggested sets:

How long did that take you?

Jean’s Reel in “G”? Ooooh, you cheat! 🙂

I can play most of these, mind you. and Jean’s reel in “F” as well.
The Well Travelled Fiddler and some of the other Taigh Na teud publications are quite good too.

I can assure you that in the Ho Ro books Jean’s Reel is in F, ‘cos I learnt it from there. And it’s a bugger on the fiddle too - for me it’s still a tune to practice on and not to play in public… (although I’ve occasionally forgotten myself, and made an embarrassing mess!)

Those books have such a great selection of tunes. I always recommend them to anyone looking for a good collection. “The Well Travelled Fiddler” is the other excellent book in the same series.

oops, didn’t notice you’d already mentioned the well travelled fiddler, john…

I can play Jean’s reel quite well on my own too but never quite seem to get the right rhythm or “groove” going when someone else starts it. They might be wrong, of course. I’ll just have to keep practising with my Bobby MacLeod records. 🙂

My problem is getting the intonation right in that bitch of a third part. Juggling between 2nd and 3rd positions means I tend to wander slowly away from the correct pitch, only to be brought back to earth with a jar on the 4th part. I think it would probably be easier playing it with some accompaniment, as then at least I’d have something to home in on…

One of these years it’ll start to feel easy (he wishes), and then I’ll know I’ve improved!

I’ve known The Apple Tree for some time, someone gave it to me at Clonmel last year. If it’s the same tune I didn’t realise it’s Scottish. I think I’ll submit the one I have.
Trevor

What an awesomely useful list - thanks! One thing that stands out is the composer of “The Golden Eagle”. Just out of interest, where does that info come from?

I’ve submitted “The Apple Tree”.
Trevor

Dow: from this book (as Bren mentioned):
http://www.scotlandsmusic.com/session.htm

Quite a list.

Many thanks to Bren. That’s what I’ve been looking for. But I can’t find some of my favourite Scottish tunes such as “The Sound of Sleat,” “Islay Rant,” and “The Milltimber Jig.” Aren’t they the standard session tunes in Scotland?

Slainte - “The Sound of Sleat,” “Islay Rant,” and “The Milltimber Jig.” - yes they are.

Bren - Nice one, with the list and all that - I’ve got those books. I don’t hear too many of those on your list played at Scottish sessions, though. Too many Irish ones take up the evening. 🙂

Jim

Bri, yes of course. I’d forgotten the Highroad to Linton (and I submitted it in the first place!). The complete version might go well preceded by The Apple Tree (possible transposed down to G so as to highlight Linton in A).
Trevor

Actually Bren I meant “which 19th century manuscript does the info (originally) come from?”, so that I can sort out something I’ve been wondering about. But that’s really geeky and sad, so just ignore me 🙂

Dunno Dow, I thought it was a James Hill tune. Who is Pat McNulty (apart from the gardener of that name who used to do jobs in our street)?

All I did was cut & paste from the internet, it’s not in any sort of useful order but has triggered some discussion as intended. I thought it made interesting browsing.

BTW, I’ve lost my copy of “well-travelled fiddler” so if one of you’s got it hope you’re enjoying it.

Sound of Sleat etc are in other books by the same authors, the Ceilidh Collection vols 1 -? or Ceil na fidhle.vols 1-6 (concentrates more on West Highland and pipe tunes for fiddle)

I should add that as Jim Dorans pointed out, you’ll probably hear more Irish tunes at some Scottish sessions. But these are a hint of the sort of “different” tunes you might get.

Thanks for the list Bren, this is very inspiring.

And not a daggy tune amongst them, not even any Shand (e.g. his chart topping Blue Bell Polka), who I do rate as a composer.

Shand didn’t write the Bluebell, he just recorded it, unless I’ve misunderstood what you just said…

Dammit Bren I was hoping you’d be able to tell me who Pat McNulty is. Someone out there must know, surely.

Hello geoff,
How many of these do you know?

Pat McNulty is an uillean piper and fiddle player who lives in Glasgow. He’d be in his 70s now, I would think.

For a biography of Pat McNulty, see: http://www.folkmusic.net/htmfiles/inart724.htm
A web search with “Pat McNulty” and “piper” brings up over 70 hits. He’s credited with two books:
The Dance Music of Ireland (1965)
Piper’s Dream (1990)

Okay well in that case, Pat McNulty can’t possibly have written “The Golden Eagle”, since it appears in “Ryan’s Mammoth Collection” (1883). If he did, he’d have to be a damn sight older than his 70s. Perhaps if he eats a lot of raw fish and started composing hornpipes shortly after being born 🙂

And how could a piper have written such a good mandolin tune? (several ironic smiley faces follow)

Dow, why don’t you look up Chritine Martin and Anne Hughes and send them an email? I’m not sure how they go about attributing tunes, but I would have thought that where there’s a copyright, they will make sure any publishing monies go to the copyright holder, even if that wasn’t the actual author.

Well, according to the book “Vol 2 of Scottish Session tunes”, the tune is taken from “Pat McNulty’s “Collection of Irish Dance Music” published in 1965. He is also credited with the copyright in the notes. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that he composed the tune and this hasn’t been made clear.

Yes, Bren. I agree that it’s a great tune on the mandolin(and fiddle). Fergie McDonald composes a lot of great mandolin tunes as well. 🙂

Well, I don’t actually mind, if a tune’s author is genuinely unknown or long gone, that the one who does the work of compiling and publishing, in some cases reviving,the tune, gets a little something for it.
Cos, let’s face it, “a little” is all it’s ever gonna be.

I’ve got Pat McNulty’s “Collection of Irish Dance Music”, and the tunes composed by him are clearly marked with his name. All the others (including Golden Eagle) are not.

They were composed by Mr and Mrs Traditional and their sons and daughters. And the sons and daughters and nephews and nieces of their sons and daughters and things, over the years.

So there. 🙂

Jim

Does anyone know where I would find music for earl mitton’s breakdown?

It’s in Ho-Ro-Gaellidh’s “Scottish Fiddler’s Session Tune Book” (vols 1 & 2). I’m still trying to figure out what it’s doing in a Scottish session book…

Because it’s a tune which gets played at Scottish sessions. It doesn’t have to be Scottish!!!

That’s some bloody list !!! but very helpful … i’ve been frantically searching for composers of tunes for days … Thanks.

iain.

I’m reviving this to include the list of tunes on the re-issued companion volume “Cruinn Còmhla” - “The Well Travelled Fiddler”:

alpa?

Good work Randy.
Now, pretty please, could you remove the “the” from tune titles and combine with my second list?

Then *bright idea* I’ll stick them into a spreadsheet, arrange them into “know well” “rusty, needs practice” “must learn” and “what the hell is that?”, then transfer to my phone and hey presto I’ll never be stuck for ideas for the next tune to play again

Need to go for a bex and a lie down now

Bren?
I found a little application which removes all instances of
composed by Traditional
http://download.cnet.com/wReplace/3000-2084_4-10859077.html
With the alphabetizer I checked a box to ignore all articles.
Don’t know how to get it to ignore the apostrophe at the beginning of a title.
No reason to post the entire list(s).

The Cup Of Tea A Major

A significant number of the “keys” associated with the tunes above are completely wrong - ignore them.

Kenny if you really need a significant number of wrongly assigned keys all you have to do is ask me. I’m so often wrong that when I’m right it can only be through blind luck.

Hm yes, Andy de Jarlis would be in E, wouldn’t it?
Anyway, we can leave out the keys as well.

I’m done, but you can run the list through wReplace to remove all the keys as well.
