Folks, Question: What do people make of the 24 measures in Bunting? : ) Contribution: Ref. my wierd esoteric study into ogam/harp relations actually cam upon...
I've been thinking about some of Simon's comments at Early Gaelic Harp Info re: RaH improvisation and am wondering if Harpers memorized melodies, measures, and...
Looks very fragile and like it would need care and be best in a setting where it was looked after and displayed. Like a UNIVERSITY library uh...hummmm! Anybody...
I was wondering if anyone has read the new article by Peter Greenhill on Paul Dooley's site RE: THE FORGOTTEN,SILVER-VOICED HARP OF WALES? It has some...
Does anyone know any wire harpers in the south part of England? I've been talking to someone in Bexhill and I think she needs to meet other layers. - Janet ...
From what we can see in the Bunting MS. it seems unlikely that he did much alteration at first to the tunes. His employers at the Belfast Festival asked him to...
Ooops - I meant PLAYERS not layers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Bunting was done in 1840 - were Ports part of the mainstay in 1840 or 1789? as different for them as they...
You all should already have a copy of Bunting's field notebook where he scribbles down what Denis O'Hampsey plays him - it is reproduced on page 27 of Gráinne...
... I scanned all of both books today. I have started to pull out the melodies and annotate for coupled hands. Next step is to transpose them to something that...
... How bizarre...eh, before reading this I had wanted to post about the possibility of the 'sisters' originally being at the very centre of the harp...such...
I've just looked at Lady of the Desart in Bowie - it's variations seem very close to those noted by Bunting from Denis O'Hampsey's playing. I have wondered how...
You will love it Janet. Much easier to find the piece and run off one tune at a time then the whole book. Although Michael has a brillient idea with scanning...
Got my Dow and Bowie cds and they are GREAT. I copied off a few selections just by going to the page tab and then selecting the page and putting in the page...
I so could care less about those little spreckles. When you think how old this thing is, and how it was not available to the general population before as a ...
I received my copy of Dow and Bowie on Monday as well as the upgrade to Music Publisher 5. I did a printout of both Dow and Bowie last night on the laserjet...
Robert, This is great. I can't wait to get the cd's and see what they are like. So does this mean you can run off one piece at a time by selection or is it all...
Robert, Please do let us know what happens. I decided to go ahead and order the cds since it would be easier to keep track of for me. I suppose if it won't...
Hi Guys, So good to see the first conversation on this new list. So, when we are talking Gael, are we refering to everything from the first Austio-Bavarian...
I bought these last week via the email download. I'm pretty sure that these are in the cross platform Adobe PDF format. However I have yet to get them! I was...
... Simon, Thanks for taking a stab at it and your definitions help but I am shocked there is no well-thought out musical timeline that puts things 'in order'...
RE: It's been a long time since I saw the Bowie Cúilfhionn/Lady of the Desert, Simon, so I'll have to either buy this new edition or pop along to the National...
Ok so with the Dow and Bowie collections. What did you guys get; cd or email download and how did it work?Did it go smoothly? I haven't bought any of those...
Alasdair, enlighten us poor anglophones too lazy to check Collette's index of the Bunting mss, what other names does Staca an Mhargai have, and might any of us...
I just love the sources that are listed here. Thank you for facing the Ocean and the Dow info. I have a semantic general question of understanding I have been...
Although Dow is already available as a printed copy from www.scottishmusiccentre.com this might be a good opportunity to get hold of Bowie. I wonder how...
John-Paul, thank you for letting us know about this group, I'm really looking forward to a continuation of the debates that have been taking place on the...
Hi all, A question and an observation: To what extent did "cláirseach" really oust "cruit" in normal language? I have heard it asserted that "clairseach" is...
