John Wild Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I have an ABC notation for a tune called Lord Moira's Welcome To Scotland. This apparently originates from Lancashire. The tune is different but has similarities to suggest they may have a common origin. X:578 T:Lord Moira's Welcome To Scotland.

This apparently originates from Lancashire... I have that one too (or one which is very similar). There's also a rendering of that H. S. J. Jackson version in Andy Hornby's Winders of Wyresdale, for those who have a copy of the book. I found two renderings on the Traditional Tune Archive. This one is my preferred option (after a little mucking about by your 'umble servant): X:2 T:Lord Moira %a lightly edited tune from the Traditioal Tune Archive: https://tunearch.org/wiki/TTA %%MIDI program 23 O:Scotland B:Stewart-Robertson - The Athole Collection (1884) Z:AK/Fiddler's Companion M:4/4 L:1/8 Q:1/4=120 R:Slow Strathspey K:Fmaj C |: F<F ~F2 (A<c) ~c2 | ~B>GA>F G>F E<C | F<F ~F2 (A<c) ~c2 |1 d>f (e/f/).g/.e/ ~f2 f>a :|2 d>f e/f/g/e/ (f/g/).a/.g/ (f<a) |] f<fa>f (g>f)e<c | d<d~f>d c>B A<F | f<f a>f g>f e<c | d>f (e/f/).g/.e/ ~f2 (f<a) | b>ga>f g>fd>f | (d/c/).B/.A/ fA B/A/G/F/ G>A | F<F ~F2 B<d ~d2 | c>f (e/f/).g/.e/ ~f2 (f>a) || |: A>Fc>F (d/c/).B/.A/ c>f | A<F c>F G>AB>d | (A>F)c>F (d/c/).B/.A/ c>f | d>f (e/f/).g/.e/ ~f2 (f>a) :| (f<a)(f<a) (e<g) ~c2 | (d>e)f>d c>BA>F | (3.f.g.a (3.f.g.a (3.e.f.g ~c2 | d>f (e/f/).g/.e/ ~f2 f>c | (d<b)(c<a) (B<g)(A<f) | c>BA>F G>FE>C | (3.F.G.A (3.G.A.B (3.A.B.c (3.B.c.d | c>f (a/g/).f/.e/ (g/f/).e/.d/ (c/B/).A/.G/ || The other TTA version is pretty similar except that those triplets in the D music are not staccato... There's a somewhat similar sounding tune called Earl Morris's Farewell to Scotland'in the VMP transcription of Rev. R. Harrison's MS, Temple Sowerby, Cumbria, c.1815. (RH.368).
