Notation Note: The tunes below are recorded in what is called “abc notation.” They can easily be converted to standard musical notation via highlighting with your cursor starting at “X:1” through to the end of the abc’s, then “cutting-and-pasting” the highlighted notation into one of the many abc conversion programs available, or at concertina.net’s incredibly handy “ABC Convert-A-Matic” at

http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html 

 

**Please note that the abc’s in the Fiddler’s Companion work fine in most abc conversion programs. For example, I use abc2win and abcNavigator 2 with no problems whatsoever with direct cut-and-pasting. However, due to an anomaly of the html, pasting the abc’s into the concertina.net converter results in double-spacing. For concertina.net’s conversion program to work you must remove the spaces between all the lines of abc notation after pasting, so that they are single-spaced, with no intervening blank lines. This being done, the F/C abc’s will convert to standard notation nicely. Or, get a copy of abcNavigator 2 – its well worth it.   [AK]

TINA’S SCHOTTISCHE. Canadian, Schottische. Canada; New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB. The tune was introduced by New Brunswick fiddler Ivan Hicks, according to Perlman (1996). Source for notated version: Alvin Bernard (b. 1929, Long River, Queens County, Prince Edward Island) [Perlman]. Perlman (The Fiddle Music of Prince Edward Island), 1996; pg. 159.


                       

TINK-A-TINK. English, Schottsiche. G Major (Ashman, Callaghan, Kennedy, Raven, Sharp, Trim): A Major (Kerr). Standard tuning. ABC (Kennedy, Raven): AAB (Kerr): AABB (Ashman, Trim): ABAC (Sharp). This very popular melody first appeared as the vehicle for a duet in the 1798 opera Blue Beard, or Female Curiosity by Michael Kelly, first performed at the Drury Lane theatre. It was sung by Mrs. (Maria Theresa) Bland and Mr. John Bannister Jr. According to Bannistger’s memoirs (John Adolphus, Memoirs of John Bannister, Comedian, 1839), the melody was rumoured to have been Russian originally; “Kelly never concealed or denied it” (pg. 16). Editor Ashman says his version is very similar to another dotted variation found in the John Clare manuscript (Helpstone, Northants, 1820), and thinks "both are nicer than the undotted tune found in the Hardy MS." “Tink-a-Tink” appears in numerous other musicians’ manuscripts from the period, including John Moore (where it appears simply as “Dance”), the Rev. Robert Harrison (Brampton, Cumbria, 1820), William Mittell (New Romney, Kent, 1799), the Browne family manuscripts (Troutbeck, Cumbria), the John Rook manuscript (Warerton, 1840), William Calvert (Leyburn, North Yorkshire, 1812), James Winder (Wyresdale, Lancashire, 1835), the Welch family manuscripts (Bosham, Sussex), the Tiller manuscript, James Haslingden (Midlands?, 1827), and Ann Winnington (England & New York, 1815). In America, “Tink a Tink” was included in Thomas Cushing’s copybook (1805-1813) and Daniel Henry Huntington’s copybook (Onondoga, New York, 1817).

***

Similarly, it appears in print in a number of publications on both sides of the Atlantic soon after the opera was produced: Andrew’s Complete Instructions for the Fife (London, c. 1808), G. Astor’s Entire New and Complete Instructions for the Guittar (London, 1800) and his Hoboy Preceptor, or Military Pieces (London, c. 1800), Thomas Ball’s Gentleman’s Amusement Book 1 (Norfolk, Va., 1815), G. Gilbert’s Gentleman’s Pocket Companion for the German Flute or Violin (New York, 1802), Goulding’s Clarinet Preceptor (London, c. 1803), Carr’s Musical Repository (1800), Edward Riley’s Flute Melodies (New York, 1814-16), James Hulbert’s Complete Fifer’s Museum (Greenfield, Mass., c. 1811), and on various songsheets. Linscott (1939) thinks this melody is similar to "Petronella." Source for notated version: a c. 1837-1840 MS by Shropshire musician John Moore [Ashman]. Ashman (The Ironbridge Hornpipe), 1991; No. 49b, pg. 19 (appears as untitled dance). Callaghan (Hardcore English), 2007; pg. 90. Kennedy (Fiddlers Tune Book), vol. 1, 1951; No. 26, pg. 13. Kerr (Merry Melodies), vol. 1; No. 13, pg. 29. Raven (English Country Dance Tunes), 1984; pg. 177. Sharp (Country Dance Tunes), 1909/1994; pg. 12. Trim (Thomas Hardy), 1990; No. 29.

TIPPERARY REEL, THE.  Canadian, Reel. Canada, Cape Breton. G Major/Mixolydian. Standard tuning. AABB. Composed by the late Cape Breton fiddler and composer Jerry Holland (1955-2009) at the request of musician Denis Ryan (see also “Farewell to Ryan’s Fancy”). Ryan and Holland played together at the University of Limerick in 1997, as part of a concert commemorating the 800th anniversary of the charter of the city of Limerick [Cranford].

TIPP’S TUNE.  Old-Time, Breakdown. Nebraska fiddler Uncle Bob Walters learned this melody from Willis Tipperey, who ran a barber shop in Decatur, Nebraska, that became a congregating place for local fiddlers, according to Mark Wilson (Rounder 0529).  Wilson thinks it has turn-of-the 20th century military march origins. Rounder 0529, Dwight Lamb – “Hell Agin the Barn Door” (2005).

TIPPY, GET YOUR HAIRCUT. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. The tune was learned by Braxton County, West Virginia, musician Bob Wine, father of fiddler Melvin Wine, who heard mulatto fiddler Jilly Grace play it but once. According to Gerry Milnes (1999) the elder Wine “could not even bribe Grace to play the tune a second time, but he managed to learn it anyway.” Grace was a fiddler in the Burnsville area who occasionally played for horse-drawn travelling merry-go-rounds. Poplar Records, Melvin Wine - "Cold Frosty Morning.” Rounder 0172, Bob Carlin - "Where'd You Get That Hat?" (1982. Learned from W.Va. fiddler Melvin Wine).

TIPSTAFF STRATHSPEY. Scottish, Strathspey. G Major. Standard tuning. AB. The melody appears in the 1790 collection by Kirkmichael, Perthshire, fiddler Robert Petrie. An earlier version, called “The Tipp Staff” appears earlier in the 1770 music manuscript collection of Northumbrian musician William Vickers, about whom, unfortunately, nothing is known.

TIPSY HOUSE, THE. AKA and see “The Templehouse (Reel).” Irish, Reel. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Darley & McCall’s title is perhaps a garbled version of the well-known “The Templehouse,” of which this is a version. If this is so, it was probably not their mistake but one that had sunk into tradition, for the title is among those mentioned in Patrick J. McCall’s 1861 poem “The Dance at Marley”:

***

Murtagh Murphy’s barn was full to the door when the eve grew dull,
For Phelim Moore his beautiful new pipes had brought to charm them;
In the kitchen thronged the girls - cheeks of roses, teeth of pearls - 
Admiring bows and braids and curls, till Phelim’s notes alarm them.
Quick each maid her hat and shawl hung on dresser, bed, or wall,
Smoothed down her hair and smiled on all as she the bawnoge entered,
Where a shass of straw was laid on a ladder raised that made
A seat for them as still they stayed while dancers by them cantered.

***

Murtagh and his vanithee had their chairs brought in to see 
The heels and toes go fast and free, and fun and love and laughter;
In their sconces all alight shone the tallow candles bright - 
The flames kept jigging all the night, upleaping to each rafter!
The pipes, with noisy drumming sound, the lovers’ whispering sadly drowned,
So the couples took their ground - their hearts already dancing!
Merrily, with toe and heel, airily in jig and reel,
Fast in and out they whirl and wheel, all capering and prancing.

***

“Off She Goes,” “The Rocky Road,” “The Tipsy House,” and “Miss McLeod,”
“The Devil’s Dream,” and “Jig Polthogue,” “The Wind that Shakes the Barley,”
“The First o’May,” “The Garran Bwee,” “Tatther Jack Welsh,” “The River Lee,” - 
As lapping breakers from the sea the myriad tunes at Marley!
Reels of three and reels of four, hornpipes and jigs galore,
With singles, doubles held the floor in turn, without a bar low;
But when the fun and courting lulled, and the dancing somewhat dulled,
The door unhinged, the boys down pulled for “Follow me up to Carlow.”

***

TISHAMINGO. Old‑Time. The title appears in a list of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph, published in 1954. There is a Tishomingo County in the state of Mississippi.

 

TISHOMINGO COUNTY BLUES. Old‑Time, Breakdown. USA, Mississippi. D Major. Standard tuning. ABB. The tune was composed by the source, John Hatcher, of Tishomingo County, Mississippi, who said of it:

***

All counties have blues. I felt that Tishomingo County was blue

enough and ought to have one. I picked up notes from other

tunes and made one up of my own. It took some time, not all

at once.

***

Gary Stanton, in his article “All Counties Have Blues: County Blues as an Emergent Genre of Fiddle Tunes in Eastern Mississippi” (North Carolina Folklore Journal, vol. 28, no. 2, Nov. 1980), points out that while almost a third of the commercial releases of white Mississippi musicians in the 1920’s and 1930’s were blues or blues influenced, only two field recordings of white instrumental blues were made, “Tishomingo County Blues” and “Lost John.” The field recordings were assumed to have been of older, less commercial musicians. Stanton’s thesis is that Mississippi fiddlers of that time period were split between older fiddlers whose repertoire reflected that of the turn of the century, and younger fiddlers who were influenced by mass media and popular trends, whose repertoire included the more modern forms of waltzes, blues and popular tunes.

***

Tom Rankin (1985) points out that the coarse part of the melody was borrowed almost directly from "Carroll County Blues #1” (there were three different Carroll County Blues recorded), although it was played in a different key. “Tishomingo” is called by Stanton a ‘one-chord’ tune.

Irish, American; Jig. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB. In the 19th century the name Tivoli, among other things, referred to a gambling game, similar to Skittles, often played in New York City beer gardens and similar establishments. The Times, in April 1860, recorded it was played in the Volksgarten (the name of a German beer garden), and was “an innocent little game in which you send a ball spinning among a lot of pins which, if touched by the ball, is placed to the credit of the player. You are admitted to the game on the payment of five cents; any number can play that choose; and the winner—the individual that makes the greatest count—takes two thirds of the money, the balance going to the Tivoli machine” (quoted in McNamara, The New York Concert Saloon: The Devil’s Own Nights, 2002, pg. 99).

TO ALL YOU LADIES NOW AT LAND. English, Song Air (4/4 time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning. AB. According to Chappell (1859), this ballad was written by Lord Buckhurst, later Earl of Dorset, when he was at sea during the first Dutch War of 1664‑65. Samuel Pepys mentions the ballad in his diary entry of Jan. 2nd, 1664‑5, and says "To my Lord Brouncker's by appointment, in the Piazza, Covent Garden; where I occasioned much mirth, with a ballet I brought with me, made from the seamen at sea to the ladies in town." The first verse goes:

***

To all you ladies now at land,

We men at sea indite;

But first yould have you understand

How hard it is to write.

The muses now, and Neptune too,

We must implore to write to you;

With a fa, la la la, la la, la la la la.

TO CASHEL I'M GOING [2]. Irish.

                       

TO DANTON ME. AKA and see “Blood Red Rose (The).” Scottish, Country Dance Tune (4/4 time) or Highland Schottische. F Major (McGibbon): G Major (Aird): D Mixolydian (Howe, Kerr, O’Farrell). Standard tuning. AAB (Kerr): AABB (Howe, McGibbon, O’Farrell): AABBCCDD (Aird). John Glen (Early Scots Melodies, 1900) finds the tune in the Atkinson manuscript of 1694, albeit under the title “This Wife of Mine.” Bruce Olson cites Logan’s The Pedlar’s Pack (1869), wherein is the note that a broadside ballad of c. 1700 called “Be Valiant Still” was to be sung to the tune of “The old carle to daunton me.” The melody appears in James Oswald’s Curious Collection of Scots Tunes for Violin, Bass Viol or German Flute (1740), dedicated to the Duke of Perth, and later in his Caledonian Pocket Companion (book 1, 1743). It also appears in William McGibbon’s Second Collection of Scots Tunes (1746), and in Bremner’s 1762 reprint of McGibbon’s collection.

***

The word ‘daunton’ (and its variant, ‘danton’) is an archaic formulation meaning ‘dismay’ or ‘discourage’, which appears occasionally in older British folk manuscripts. One instance of it in folksong is in the ballad “Thomas Rhymer” (Child 37, version C), in the verse (here Thomas has encountered the Fairie Queen):

***

‘Betide me weal, betide me woe,

That weird shall never daunton me;’

Syne he has kissed her rosy lips,

All underneath the Eildon Tree.

***

In 1788 Robert Burns (1759-1796) composed a song by the title “To Daunton Me,” printed in Thompson’s Scots Musical Museum (1797), which begins:

***

The blude-red rose at Yule may blaw,
The simmer lilies bloom in snaw,
The frost may freeze the deepest sea;
But an auld man shall never daunton me.
***

To daunton me, to daunton me,
And auld man shall never daunton me.

***

James Hogg also printed a song called “To daunton me” (to the tune of “To daunton me”) in his Jacobite Relics (II, pg. 89). Legman maintains that Stephen Foster’s song “I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair” (written in honor of his wife, Jane McDowell Foster) is a reworking of “To Daunton Me,” although Fuld sees no similarity between the two. Aird (Selection), vol. II, 1782; No. 60, pg. 22. Howe (1000 Jigs and Reels), c. 1867; pg. 134. Kerr (Merry Melodies), c. 1880’s; vol. 2, No. 219 (Highland Schottische). McGibbon (Scots Tunes, book II), c. 1746; pg. 51. O’Farrell (Pocket Companion, vol. III), c. 1808; pg. 45 (appears as “To Daunton Me”).

TOBACA DAOR. Irish, Reel. Ireland, County Donegal. The piece is attributed to southwest Donegal fiddler John Mhosai (Mac Fhionnlaioch), born in the 1840's. Caoimhin Mac Aoidh (1994) relates that the title refers to a trip made by John on his white pony to a pub in Glencolumcille to purchase tobacco. The fiddler was sidetracked by a card game in which he lost all his money, but managed to return home having salvaged his plug of tobacco.

                       

TOBACCO'S BUT AN INDIAN WEED. AKA - "Tobacco." English, Air (4/4 time). E Flat Major (Chappell): C Major (Scott). Standard tuning. One part. The air appears in Pills to Purge Melancholy (1699), but appears to Chappell (1859) to have been founded on a poem by George Wither called "Meditations on Tobacco" which appears in The Marrow of Complements of 1654. The song long retained its popularity however, eventually being published with the addition of an inferior second part by the Reverend Ralph Erskine, a Scot, in his "Gospel Sonnets" as "Smoking Spiritualized." In this form it survived well into the 19th century. Authorship was claimed by John Blockley (who set a great many of Tennyson's lyrics), nevertheless, the antiquity of the song is proven.

***

 

 

A smoking club

 

Tobacco is an Indian weed,

Green, green in the morn, cut

Down at Eve,--

It shares our decay,

Man's life is but clay,

Think of this when you're

Smoking Tobacco!

 

***

It was Sir Walter Raleigh who is credited with championing the habit of tobacco smoking in the Elizabethan court. Considered by the general population for some time afterward as disrespectable, even alien and sinister, by the late 16th and 17th centuries it had become ensconced in the fashionable classes, who immersed themselves deeply in the habit—the height of fashion for many Dutch, English and French people. In fact, association of tobacco with desirable male qualities, such as health, power, freedom, intelligence, etc. began not with advertising campaigns but with the almost immediate public perception that tobacco was the affectation of the mercenary soldier, a man with excess money, a wandering carefree lifestyle, who was at one and the same time rugged and dandyish. By the 18th century the upper classes of England indulged themselves regularly and the phenomenon of smoking clubs arose.  These gentlemens’ clubs were a popular venue for good conversation and convivial relaxation, with a glass of porter or punch and a fine, long-burning pipeful of tobacco. As with much fashion of the day, it came in for satire and caricatiure at the hands of Hogarth and others.   Chappell (Popular Music of the Olden Time), vol. 2, 1859; pg. 78. Scott (English Song Book), 1926; pg. 80.

TOBIN'S JIG (Roga Sant-Aubin). AKA ‑ "Tobin's Favorite," "Tobin's Fancy." Irish, Double Jig. D Major. Standard tuning  (fiddle). AABB. The title probably refers to one Adam Tobin, a native of Kilkenny, by way of Chicago fiddler James Kennedy, who gave the tune to O’Neill. The tune is often called “Tobin’s Favorite” these days. Jackie Small, editor of Breathnach’s CRÉ V (1999), says the titles “Pretty Young Girls for Sale” and “Girls for Sale—the Old Way” are associated with the tune. Sources for notated versions: Michael Coleman (County Sligo, Ire./New York) [Brody]; Fennig’s All Stars (N.Y.) [Spandaro]; set dance music recorded live at Na Píobairí Uilleann, mid-1980’s [Taylor]; New Jersey flute player Mike Rafferty, born in Ballinakill, Co.

Irish, English, Scottish, Jig. England, Northumberland. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB. The air of "Johnnie Armstrong" has been identified with that of "Tod(d)lin’ Hame" in Johnson‑Stenhouse, pg. 336, and concurred in Glen, pg. 172.  Cazden (et al, 1982) identifies it as a member of a large tune family used for numerous ballads, hymns and airs in the British Isles and North America, including "Rock Island Line," "The Old Head of Denis," and several cowboy ballads. The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes ("The Northern Minstrel's Budget"), which he published c. 1800. Gow (1817) prints an “elegant accompaniment by the Immortal HAYDN” along with the tune in his 4th Repository.

TOG ORM MO PHÌOB (“Give me my pipes” or “Lift me to my pipes”). AKA – “Lament for Rory Mor MacLeod,” “Rory Mor’s Lament.” Scottish, Air (3/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning. One part. The tune is attributed to the Skye piper Patrick Mòr MacCrimmon (1595-1670), perhaps the most distinguished member of the famous piping clan, as a lament for Ruairidh Mòr MacLeod of Dunvegan, Skye, dating to 1626. At some later point in time Gaelic words with the title “Cumha Ruairidh Mhóir” (Big Roderick’s Lament) were set to the tune. The first verse translates as:

***

Give me my pipe and I’ll go home,

It is sad for me as to how it happened;

Give me my pipe, I’m so broken hearted

About Big Roderick, about Big Roderick.
