Ice House Schottische barndance

Also composed by Nigel Eaton. Normally preceded or followed by Ice House Scottische No.1 (which on here has been simply rename Ice House Scottische, dunno why).

Happy playing.

| d6 :: g2 | ~ that kind of rings of a cut-and-paste job? Where are you lifting these from?

On numbering tunes, Jeremy, our webmaster, doesn’t let them carry in the title, but you can add them to the alternate list. Nope, I don’t fully understand either… 😏

Key signature: C Major

I’m lifting from myself…I wrote them out a few months ago when I was an ABC newbie. Have I made a mistake?? (I’m still pretty much an ABC newbie…)

I don’t understand why the tunes can’t be numbered…the actual titles of the tunes, as written on the CD covers and in the bella tune book, include the numbers.

Check your mail… 😉

There is some confusion about the numbering of this pair of tunes by English hurdy-gurdy player Nigel Eaton, of Blowzabella fame. I have edited this tune entry to correct the mistaken switching of numbers. This tune is No.1 according to the transcription published in one of the Blowzabella tune books (I’m not actually sure which, but see: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10158090523968206&type=3 - Nigel Eaton’s Facebook photo album of his compositions).
Note that the time signature should be 2/2 rather than 4/4.
There’s a recording of the set by Nigel Eaton himself with Andy Cutting from a duo album in this C setting: https://youtu.be/8kWDzQf1w0Y and another, played a tone lower, by Eaton solo: https://youtu.be/w5WbHwXHaWs

Same setting as the preceding one but transposed up an octave for convenience for treble instruments.

A document with both tunes (each in both octaves) can be downloaded here: https://app.box.com/s/kj19cc606giy7b8bof75c1oc62x698pi

Grrrr. I’ve belatedly spotted a silly typo in my annotation above - the anacrusis to the B music in the 2nd time bar of the A music should, of course, be a crotchet, not a quaver. I’ve corrected both ABC and staff notation in my document, but I won’t upload another setting here just for that. Here’s the correct (with full headers) ABC:
