Nellie Your Favour I’m Afraid I’ll Not Gain hornpipe
Also known as
Nell I Fear I’ll Not Gain Your Favour, Nellie Your Favour I’ll No Longer Gain, Nellie, I’m Afraid Your Favour I’ll Not Gain, Nellie, Your Favor I’m Afraid I’ll Not Gain.
This is from a recording by Peter Carberry, Angelina Carberry and John Blake called: Memories From The Holla
I transposed it from Eb Dor to D dor.
Also on Faoi Bhláth
It’s also played by Ciaran Somers and Dave Sheridan on Faoi Bhláth. They title it "Nellie, I’m Afraid Your Favour I’ll Not Gain."
Spurned in any case. Great tune. Thanks.
Re: Nellie Your Favour I’m Afraid I’ll Not Gain
Is there any sheet music for this tune where the notes do not go below D? My flute can’t go any lower (^_^).
Re: Nellie Your Favour I’m Afraid I’ll Not Gain
The setting in one of the P.W. Joyce books has it as starting on the E note, a fifth up from the versions shown here. if you are able to read the sheetmusic I’m guessing it would be fairly handy for you to do the required transposition.
Re: Nellie Your Favour I’m Afraid I’ll Not Gain
You could also try it in G dorian. The 3rd is omitted, so there’s no need for any b flats.
