Slide Names

[RobinSeif]

Hello there,

I’m looking for the names of the 3 slides of the "Hop, Skip, Jump!" set on Máire Breatnach’s album "Angels Candles".

Especially like the third one:

X: 1
T: Slide
M: 12/8
L: 1/8
K:E
|: B2 c efg b2 g f2 a| g2 f e2 g f2 e c2 e |
B2 c efg b2 g f2 a| gfe fec e2 e edc |
B2 c efg b2 g f2 a| g2 f e2 g f2 e c2 e |
B2 c efg b2 g f2 a| gfe fec e3 ede ||
f2 B b2 a gfe B2 e | c2 e B2 e A2 e G2 e |
f2 B b2 a gfe B2 e | cBG B2 G EGB efg|
f2 B b2 a gfe B2 e | c2 e B2 e A2 e G2 e |
f2 B b2 a gfe B2 e | c2 e fed e3 c3||

The A part sounds like "I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In".

Máire Breatnach says they’re just called "Hop", "Skip" & "Jump".
But I was wondering if any of you would have other (traditional?) names for them…

You can listen to the whole set here:

And the 2 last ones are also featured here:

Many thanks in advance!

I'm getting the impression from reviews at her website of the album containing these tunes—especially the review written by Bob Walton of Folk Roots—that all the tunes on "Angels Candles", including the slides, were composed by her so their names really are "Hop", "Skip" and "Jump."

Thanks a lot!

 

And here's a similar reply from Nigel Gatherer:

 

All three of them were composed by Maire Breatnach, and dedicated to "all who participated in the making of this album". Therefore, the names are "Hop", "Skip" and "Jump".
