Subject: A suitable tune ? From: Fingerbuster Date: 04 Nov 02 - 05:36 PM Any ideas which tune(s) would fit nicely with "The Sweeps" in an Irish set? And, is this tune best played in A or D? Ta muchly, Nic. |

Subject: RE: A suitable tune ? From: GUEST Date: 05 Nov 02 - 04:41 PM I'd not heard of The Sweeps. I have just searched John Chamber's and had several results for The Sweeps Hornpipe. There seem to be 2 tunes, one is more or less what I would call The Belfast Hornpipe and there is a second tune I don't know. Is it one of these tunes, and if so, which? Search results here |

Subject: RE: A suitable tune ? From: Fingerbuster Date: 05 Nov 02 - 05:34 PM Cool tune *Jeri* I will give it a try. Upon rethought this tune "Sweeps" is probably Scottish in origin, but i can see how "Showmans fancy" would be a perfect partner to it. Oh how i wish i had studied *set* tunes earlier on, particularly regarding the standard keys, still, there's no time like the present. Thanks, Nic. |

Subject: RE: A suitable tune ? From: GUEST Date: 05 Nov 02 - 07:23 PM I repeat my earlier question. Are we talking about this tune: X: 2 T:Sweep's Hornpipe, The M:4/4 L:1/8 H:1837 S:John Moore of Shropshire Z:vmp.John Adams F:http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/Ireland/hornpipe/SweepsHornpipeThe.abc 2002-11-06 00:13:39 UT K:G D2|G2 BG E2 cA | FGAF G2 Bd | dcAc cBGB | ABcA GFED | GABG ABcA | BcdB cdef | gfgd ecAF | G2G2G2 :|| Bc| dBdB g2 Bc| dedB G2 Bd | dcAc cBGB | ABcA GFED | GABG ABcA | BcdB cdef | gfgd ecAF | G2G2G2:| Or this tune (it is noted as an alternative title in this abc sample): X:46 T:Belfast Hornpipe, The T:Sweep's Hornpipe R:hornpipe Z:id:hn-hornpipe-46 M:C| F:http://www2.redhawk.org/irish/Norbeck/hnhp0.abc 2002-11-06 00:14:33 UT K:D ag|(3faf df AdFA|DFAd f2ef|gabg efge|cdec A2ag| (3faf df AdFA|DFAd f2ef|gfed cABc|(3dcd fe d2:| |:zF|GFGA Bcde|fgfe dcdB|A2f2 fef2|G2e2 e3F| GFGA Bcde|fgfe dcdB|Afed cABc|(3dcd fe d2:| |:ag|(3fgf (3efe (3ded (3cdc|(3BcB (3ABA G2ba| (3gag (3fgf (3efe (3ded|(3cdc (3BcB A2ag| (3fgf (3efe (3ded (3cdc|(3BcB (3ABA (3GAG (3FGF|Efed cABc|(3dcd fe d2:| "Version of 1st part:" ag|(3faf df AdFA|DFAd f2ef|gbeg ceAF|GABG E2ag| (3faf df AdFA|DFAd f2ef|gabg eABc|d2f2 d2:| Or maybe something else? Only asking as it doesn't seem to make sense to make suggestions when the name may apply to more than one tune (although in this case I guess one can at least say they are both hornpipes). |

Subject: RE: A suitable tune ? From: Fingerbuster Date: 06 Nov 02 - 04:34 AM *Guest* Yes to the second one, sweeps/Belfast. This was played frequently (along with other complimentary ones) in folk clubs in the borders (Scottish) where i used to live. NIc. |

Subject: RE: A suitable tune ? From: GUEST Date: 07 Nov 02 - 12:22 AM Thanks. Not to question Jeri's taste at all - I like her suggestion - but to offer another suggestion. I used to like to follow it with what I knew as the Tipperary Hornpipe. Couldn't find it at JC's but asked at tonights session. It appears to be a cut down (ony pt one and two) version of the Derry Hornpipe. A MIDI of the Derry at JC's is here ABC: X:106 T:the Derry Hornpipe R:Hornpipe O:Ireland N:More or less o'Neills version, I think M:4/4 Z:Richard Robinson %%RR_OriginalCollection: %%ID:00000807 F:http://www.leeds.ac.uk/music/Info/RRTuneBk/gettune/00000807.abc 2002-11-07 05:14:14 UT K:D AG|\ F2Ad fdAF|G2Bd gdBG|\ F2Ad fdAF|E2GB ecAG|\ F2Ad fdAF|G2Bd g2ag|\ fafd Bgec|d2f2 d2::\ fg|\ a2fd Adfa|g2ec Aceg|\ a2fd Adgf|(3efd (3cdB A2fg|\ a2fd Adfa|gfef g2ag|\ fafd Bgec|d2f2 d2::\ AG|\ (3FED AD BDAD|dcdf ecAG|\ (3FED AD BDAD|EGFA GBAG|\ (3FED AD BDAD|dcdf eceg|\ (3fgf df gece|df (3edc d2:: (3efg|\ a^gab afdf|gfga gece|\ a^gab afdf|(3efd (3cdB A2 (3efg|\ a^gab afdf|gfef gbag|\ (3fgf df gece|df (3edc d2::\ fg|\ (3aaa fd Adfa|(3ggg ec Aceg|\ fdge afbg|ecdB A2fg|\ (3aaa fd Adfa|(3ggg ec A2ag|\ fdAF Egec|d2f2 d2::\ FG|\ AFAd fedc|BGBe gfed|\ cAce agfe|fcdB A2FG|\ AFAd fedc|BGBd g2ag|\ fafd Bgec|d2f2 d2:| Jon |
