Patrick MacDonald: Mermaid, Fisherman's Song for Attracting Seals, Spoigan, Joseph McDonald's Jig, Tune 6 & 7 (Lord Reay's Jig, and The Goatherd) You can buy physical copies of Oyster Wives Rant and Pay the Pipemaker now here: https://kunaki.com/msales.asp?PublisherId=166528 You can also buy digital copies on Bandcamp: https://jeremykingsbury.bandcamp.com/ I forgot to mention it on the episode, but people have asked me if I would ever put out a tune book, and I might at some point, but if you want clean printed settings of many of the tunes I play I’d recommend Matt Seattle’s book: Geordie Syme’s Paircel o Tunes: https://www.mattseattle.scot/product-page/geordie-syme-s-parcel-o-tunes +X+X+X+ Improvisation at St. Clement’s Church on the Isle of Harris from Oyster Wives Rant: Improvisation in St. Clement’s Church on the Isle of Harris I call this an improvisation, but it is heavily influenced by a lament I wrote for my father and Corrienessan's Salute. When we were on Lewis and Harris in 2019 I wanted to see this Church, which was a burial site for McLeod Chiefs hundreds of years ago. In my head MacCrimmon pipers would have played in this building for these chiefs. In reality St. Clement's Church was built in the 1520s, and therefore went out of use almost immediately because of the Reformation, but MacLeod chiefs continued to be buried there for some time. By the late eighteenth century it was in desperate need of restoration, which it received only for a fire to undo that work. In the 1870s it was restored roughly to its current state. It's a remarkable building, complete with Sheela na gig. We lucked into being there on a very rainy Sunday afternoon and had the church to ourselves for half an hour to explore and record a couple of tunes. https://jeremykingsbury.bandcamp.com/album/oyster-wives-rant-a-year-of-historic-tunes +X+X+X+ 1690s: Mr. Preston’s Hornpipe: You can find Pete Stewart’s transcription of the tune published in his book, Three Extraordinary Collections: http://www.hornpipemusic.co.uk/index.php/publications/three-extraordinary-collections +X+X+ 1775: Miss Fowler’s Delight, The Nabob, Pantheon, The Oak Tree. These tunes all come from Straight and Skillern’s 204 Favourite Country Dances, published in London around 1775. You can see the notes here: https://imslp.org/wiki/204FavouriteCountryDances(Various) +X+X+ 1784: Mermaid, Fisherman's Song for Attracting Seals, Spoigan, Joseph McDonald's Jig, Tune 6 & 7 (Lord Reay's Jig, and The Goatherd) All From Patrick MacDonald: https://www.google.com/books/edition/ACollectionofHighlandVocalAirsTo_w/XCvLHYWLkFcC?hl=en&gbpv=0 +X+X+X+ The Sources I most commonly use is a rather jumbled mess, but I think this spread sheet will get you the information you need: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NAUpy6Sz4AlrPGGrPMQ2Mwcv7ND55nasEEsxYDwGc/edit?usp=sharing Here are six ways you can support the show: You can support the Podcast by joining the Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/wetootwaag You can also take a minute to leave a review of the podcast if you listen on Itunes!

James and Donald talk a lot more detailed about 3d printing and Donald’s time on Ascension Island. https://www.utahbagpipes.com/podcast/episode/414b0d08/030-donald-wg-lindsay-3d-printed-bagpipes-birdsong-and-more People involved in the LBPS will be interested in Judy Barker’s delightful interview, there is also a lot of great tunes and songs on this episode: https://www.utahbagpipes.com/podcast/episode/3d175e03/024-judy-barker-pipe-and-song-chanters-weave I must say, I really enjoy James’ episodes which are more serving the original purpose of the Podcast, which is to interview local pipers in the Utah piping scene. It is really interesting to hear all the different paths people take to the bagpipes and pipe band drumming. ++X+X+X++ James Moyar’s Hymn Tunes: All of the Tunes James plays can be found in Timothy Cummings’ book, The Piper’s Hymnal: https://birchenmusic.com/product/the-pipers-hymnal-printed-collection/ x+x Late 1500s: Windsor, accredited to William Damon: X+x+X 9th Century: Conditor Alme Siderum X+X+X 1592: Cheshire: From the Whole Booke of Psalmes X=X=X Llangloffan, listed as “Welsh Folk Melody” X=X=X 1697: Bereden vag for Herran, From Then Swenska Psalmboken.

Joe Hughie Macintyre (1891-1968), Rathad Fraingach(French Road) Cape Breton county, The tunes are Tulloch Gorum, Sandy Cameron, Eight Men of Moidart, Miss Proud. Joe Hughie was descended from Duncan MacIntyre, Clanranald’s mid 18th century piper. The family came to Cape Breton in 1826 and piping continued to play a prominent role with successive generations producing 28 pipers and chanter players down through the years after immigration. I was taught to play by Joe Hughie’s first cousin, Angus MacIntyre of Glace Bay. Joe Hughie only started to read music after his retirement so many of the recordings I have, many with piano accompaniment, reflect some of his later repertory., but there are still a few gems among his own music. I provided several of the tunes in his repertory in both The Cape Breton Collection of bagpipe music and Play It Like You Sing I, Volume 2: https://capebretonpiper.com/content/play-it-you-sing-it-volume-2 .This last book has 249 tunes from various areas of Gaelic settlements in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Since no two pipers played the same way from area to area, I have transcribed the music with minimum grace-noting since most pipers will add their own embellishments anyway. I am also including the reference from Joesph MacDonad’s Treatise, regarding paying dance music and doubling up of the notes which describes the piob embellishments used and most examples listed can be found employed by CB pipers I have recordings of. Not exactly as they played in 1800 perhaps, but still some shadows of two the tunes were played.” https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/f/f158d1e4-b92d-4f8d-9eef-7382ca3c3ee8/JPB9wh9k.jpg You can and Should buy a Digital Copy of Roddy Cannon's Edition of Josph McDonald's Book here: https://www.piobaireachd.co.uk/product/joseph-macdonalds-compleat-theory Here are six ways you can support the show: You can support the Podcast by joining the Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/wetootwaag You can also take a minute to leave a review of the podcast if you listen on Itunes!

This is basically a mini album. I've been listening to old episodes and wanted all the tunes in Jackson's Celebrated Irish Tunes in one place. What do you think of the new fonts and background? The font is as close as I could find for Robert Bremner's font in his printed collection. But I'm not sure the History nerd-ness of Marble paper and eighteenth century font outweighs the readability of a Sans Serif font and white space. If you want to see any of these tunes they are all on NPU's website, or Cape Irish: http://www.capeirish.com/webabc/working/source.folders/jcit/jcit_table.html Please Consider supporting the Podcast by Joining the Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/wetootwaag Please take advantage of the Tune Collection tab: https://www.wetootwaag.com/tunesources Also Please take a minute to leave a review of the podcast!

David was kind enough to share the music with me, you can hear his playing of it as a trio with his lovely low D Swayne Border Pipes: https://soundcloud.com/dave-rowlands-2/jim-hardings-waltz 1780s James Aird’s Mucking Geordies Byre (Also known as Tam Glen on same page as Lads wi the Kilts later in the episode) https://archive.org/stream/selectionofscotc00rugg#page/n59/mode/1up Duncan Johnstone: I thought I was playing this from Gordon Dunan’s Piping Centre recital series, but he doesn’t play Johnstone into Crossing the minch on that stellar album, so I’m not sure who I am poorly mimicking here. This is Duncan playing it on his album Thunderstruck though: https://youtu.be/P2QCkUtrN7g?t=111 1733: William Dixon’s Settings for William Dixon: Hey for Newbiggin, Stool of Repentance, Minuet: Edward the Second, Over the Dyke and Till Her Laddy, Are all from from Matt Seattle’s publication: https://www.mattseattle.scot/product-page/the-master-piper-new-edition 1780s James Aird: Lads wi the Kilts https://archive.org/stream/selectionofscotc00rugg#page/39/mode/1up Pre-1968 Billy Pigg’s Skye Crofters. I went looking for this tune because James MacDonald Reid played it at an early LPBS competition. He said he played as Pigg played it, avoiding all the excessive gracing, I’m sure I did not come close to emulating it, but I tried! Here is Billy Pigg playing it: https://youtu.be/XS7Iy8Ywlrc Matt Seattle kindly posted his transcription of this tune on the Northumbrian Piping Newsgroup Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/131491660229952/ It is also in the Book of Billy Pigg’s tunes, part 2 that was published by the Northumbrian Pipers Society, but I can’t find it for sale, but thanks to Julia Say for getting the information from her book, you can still buy part one on the Northumbrian Pipers Society website: https://www.northumbrianpipers.org.uk/product/billy-pigg-tunes-for-the-northumbrian-smallpipes/ 1880s David Glen’s Dr. Bett’s Super https://ceolsean.net/content/DGlen/Book12/Book12%2010.pdf 1734 David Young’s Border Reel.

Season 5 Episode 4 Drummond Castle Manuscript Tunes: David Young’s Drummond Castle Manuscript: Athol Braes, Kiss’d Yestereen, New Bigging, The Malt Man, Kick the World Before You William Napier: Braes of Athol Neil Gow & Sons: Oh as I was Kiss’d Yestreen James Rook: Oh as I was Kiss’d Yestreen William Gunn: Oh How I was Kiss’d Yestreen Donald MacDonald: Kick the Rogues Out Elizabeth Ross: You Silly Fool Here is a link to the Gordon Mooney Article on Border/Lowland Pipe Revival I was referencing. https://oddscotland.com/lowland-and-border-pipers-society-history The Art for this episode comes from the Natinol Library of Scotland, by Susan Fletcher Crawford https://www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artists/22521/drummond-castle-perthshire David Young Wrote these settings for the Duke of Perth at Drummond Castle in 1734, I have used the copies available from Ross’s Music Page, all the tunes in this episode come from the first of two PDFs on Ross’s Music Page: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/music/index.html The actual PDF download is the below link: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/musicfiles/manuscripts/drummond1.pdf First Tune from David Young is Braes of Atholl Decent information on David Young’s numerous other publications can be found here: https://www.altpibroch.com/y3/ Note that the tune also appears in John Walsh’s Country Dance books both English and Scottish according to Traditional Tune Archive, I could not find it there. It does appear with slight variations in Robert Bremner’s Scots Reels book from 1757: https://digital.nls.uk/special-collections-of-printed-music/archive/105003153 Also according to Traditional Tune Archive it is in William Vickers MS. Braes of Atholl from William Napier’s 1798 collection is quite different and fun for Uilleann Pipes: https://digital.nls.uk/special-collections-of-printed-music/archive/105015671 Bio on William Napier from HMS.Scot: Biographical info: Napier lived c.1740-1812, and died in London. He was a violinist both at Edinburgh's Canongate Theatre, and for Edinburgh Musical Society, before moving to London. (Alburger, 120; Macleod) He played in prestigious bands including the court of George III, and in middle life set up as publisher, later also starting a circulating library. Napier comissioned music from Haydn and was well-connected with other classical composers. (Grove; Baptie) (https://hms.scot/fiddle/source/201/) David Young: New Bigging. The Next Tune I play is New Bigging, likely named for the tune of Newbigging, in Angus. It sounds very familiar, but it also may just remind me of the mystery tune I play before it. Do you know what it is called? The Next tune I play from Drummond Castle is Kiss’d Yestereen. 18teens: Neil Gow & Sons: Oh How I was kiss’d Yestreen in the Second repository of The Dance Music of Scotland: https://imslp.org/wiki/Gow%27sRepositoryoftheDanceMusicofScotland(Gow%2C_Niel) 1840s: James Rook’s Manuscript: Oh How I was Kissed Yestereen: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/musicfiles/rook/rook_pages/033.htm 1848: William Gunn: Oh How I was Kiss’d Yestreen, He calls it a quickstep, so I play it like I would a 6/8 march, then play it as written. https://ceolsean.net/content/Gunn/Gunn_TOC.html David Young: The Malt Man. This tune again also appears in Gow’s Repository and Rook’s Manuscript. 1828: Donald MacDonald’s Setting for Kick the Rogues Out: Can you recognize the funky gracing in the beginning? https://digital.nls.uk/special-collections-of-printed-music/archive/105683188 1812: Elizabeth Ross’s You Silly Fool or "Amedain ghórich" Elizabeth Ross’s Impressive collection from Raasay in 1812. We will certainly be talking about this collection in the future. You can download the impressive PDF here: https://www.ed.ac.uk/files/imports/fileManager/RossMS.pdf 1757: Robert Bremner (I didn’t play this setting but you can look at it here) https://digital.nls.uk/special-collections-of-printed-music/archive/105002691 1734: David Young: Kick the World Before You My First Album is out!

In many houses, they still retain the ancienty custom of the pipers playing all the time the company are at dinner, on his horrid bagpipes; this is to me more dreadful, than the grunting of pigs, the screaming of owls, and the squalling of cats. All these creatures in a concert would be to my ears pleasing, compared to that discordant instrument to which I have a natural antipathy."

The instrument described within is not what most people today would picture when they hear guitar. Instead of the six stringed Romantic or Spanish guitar - the direct ancestor to today’s classical and steel stringed instruments - the instrument described is what is now known as an English or Scottish guitar. This instrument had six courses of strings, but was a smaller teardrop shaped instrument strung with metal wire and tuned in open tunings. It is the ancestor to and most closely resembles the modern cittern or German waldzither. With its early wire strings and open tunings it was less suited to the more harmonically complex and delicate music played on the gut strung Spanish instrument. Nevertheless, it enjoyed widespread use as an instrument for popular and folk music. The ‘Instructions’ portion of the text is relatively brief. It explains the tuning of the instrument (an open C major chord) and a few rudimentary techniques. Interestingly it describes a simple strumming technique and also suggests an alternating plucking with the thumb and forefinger, a common technique on the lute and other early stringed instruments now known as ‘thumb under’ that approximates the effect of a plectrum. The musical selections themselves are mostly presented in simple settings. The music is provided in staff notation, rather than the tablature more commonly used for stringed instruments of the era. All of the music is transposed to C to fit the open chord tuning of the instrument. The texture is simple, mostly simple monophonic melody line with the odd open string drone or strummed open string chord for emphasis, when harmonically appropriate. In all but a few instances the music only calls on the player to strike notes on immediately adjacent strings, most often in melodic parallel thirds or a melody over an open drone string. There is none of the counterpoint, moving basslines, or harmonic figuration that is typical of Baroque or Romantic guitar repertoire. These factors along with the popular tunes suggests to me that the music was intended for an amateur audience and intended to be strummed as much as plucked. One could view the tutor as analogous to modern commercial ukulele books full of popular and folk tunes in simple arrangements. The various Moorish tunes are interesting and of particular note. They are all extremely short and simple with a strong pastoral sound of open ringing intervals evocative of hunting horns and reveilles, perhaps intended to conjure the image of the trumpets popularly associated with the military bands of the Ottoman Empire. In light of the above notes on the instrument itself, I have played the selected tunes on a modern steel string acoustic guitar, with a mix of pick and thumb and forefinger as appropriate.

Tunes: By Nicolas Brown from new album "Good Enough Music for them who Love it" https://nicolasbrown.bandcamp.com/releases O’Farrell (et.al) Oscar & Malvina Set for the Pipes Aird (et. al) Battle from Oscar And Malvina You can see when you look at the sheet music how much work and craft Nicolas put into creating these renditions of tunes. His performances borrow from many of the known material we have of Oscar and Malvina into some beautiful descriptive and emotive pieces of music.

Since I’m in a new House…seems like the time to play the tune I “Composed” for my friend’s Ric and Berit when they finalized some messy business with their Cabin: Squatter’s Hame Since we did the first tune in MacKay’s book here’s the first in O’Farrell’s Pocket Companion, Humours of the Glen. Read it here: https://digital.nls.uk/87779642 And Another MacKay tune I quite liked, “The Bride has a Bonny Thing” You can see it here: https://digital.nls.uk/105006948 I went back to my house at the last minute to record Squatter’s Haim and just took a quick crack at this lovely Donald MacDonald tune Mary Gray. https://digital.nls.uk/105682550 Speaking of History, finally gonna play the clip Carrie shared with me!

Black Lives Matter Notes: Here are some good resources and places to donate funds to support the Black Lives Matter Protests: I found this website really helpful for figuring out how to help, and how to understand what defunding the police means, and why it is a good idea. https://www.mpd150.com/how-can-you-help-mpls-june-2020/ “The Southern Poverty Law Center is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society. Using litigation, education, and other forms of advocacy, the SPLC works toward the day when the ideals of equal justice and equal opportunity will be a reality.” https://donate.splcenter.org/ The Minnesota Freedom Fund has received lots of donations and continually updates their website with good organizations to donate to: https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/ Also use this resource to find your representatives: https://myreps.datamade.us/ Call and tell them you hold them accountable for Racial injustice and ask them to demilitarize the police and commit to racial justice. If you are confused by calls to defund the police you can see some excellent explanations as to why Policing is not the answer. If you are uncomfortable with blanket statements that all cops are in league with or actively white supremacists it still makes sense to "defund" them. The generous read here is that we have asked police to do far too much, and we should minimize their responsibilities and train them far better to do far fewer things. If this seems absurd to you I encourage you to spend some time on this website: https://www.mpd150.com/faq/ Bagpipe Notes!

Episode Notes: First tune is a Piobaireachead I wrote for my grandparents and Family, called John and Mary Blair Salute. It was recorded on a hillside in Scotland on the shores of Loch Mor, (a bit south of the Falls of Foyers). I misspoke in the beginning here, I meant Ethnostate, not Eurostate, Europe is allowed to have states :) Next track is two Hornpipes, The Eric Rigler album in question was from 1997, and the Hornpipes were Plains of Boyle and Boys of Blue Hill. The O'Farrell Waltz's are The Salamanca and the Copenhagen Waltz. The Women's Set is The Female Hero (From James Aird's Collection), Well shot of her (from O'Farrell) and The Female Rake (also from Aird). and Finally the Oyster Wives Rant from Aird. Feel free to Email me with questions or comments at wetootwaag@gmail.com Thanks!
