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] |

DAFYDD Y GARREG WEN (David of the White Rock). Welsh, Air (3/4 time). A Minor.
Standard tuning. AABB. A popular Welsh traditional song, the tune first appears
in Jones’s first edition of Musical and
Poetical Relicks of the Welsh Bards (1784), a collection of Welsh harp
music. The title refers to the 18th century blind harper and
composer David Owen—y Garreg Wen, or
‘the White Rock’ was the name of the farm on which he lived near Porthmadog in
Caernafonshire,

“Cariwch,” medd Dafydd, “fy nhelyn imi, Ceisiaf cyn marw roi

?Neithiwr me glywais lais angel fel hyn: ‘Dafydd, tyrd adref, a chwarae trwy’r glyn!’ Delyn fy mebyd, ffarwel I dy dant! Duw a’ch bendithio fy ngweddw a’m plant!” |
Dafydd said, ‘Bring me my harp, I’ll try to put a tune on it before I die. Raise my hand to reach the string. God bless you my widow and my children. Last night I heard the voice of an angel saying: ‘Dafydd, come home and play through the glen!’ Harp of my childhood, farewell to your music, God bless you my widow and my children. |

DAINTY
***
Ewan MacColl (Folk Songs and Ballads of Scotland) maintains that the name Dainty
Davie refers to the Reverend David Williamson, who died in 1706. It seems, says
MacColl, that the Reverend was the subject of an unauthenticated incident
related by Dean Swift. Williamson found himself pursued by dragoons, the story
goes, and while sensibly fleeing he found refuge in the bed of the daughter of
the Laird of Cherrytrees. Hiding was apparently not the only act he engaged in
while so occupied, but afterward he married the lass. A variant of the story
has it that the young miss (from whose voice the song is told) disguised the
Reverend in her clothing, tweaking him a bit by calling him ‘dainty’ Davie.
***
"This spirited tune was
developed from a simple Scottish strain about the end of the 18th century, by
O'Farrell, a famous Irish piper well known on the London stage" (O'Neill).
"I know nothing about this, farther than that the air and a bit of the
song remain in a remote corner of my memory from dim old times" (Joyce).
The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance
tunes, which he published c. 1800, and the tune appears in the 1799 Calvert Collection, an assembly of tunes
by Thomas Calvert, a musician from Kelso. A note with his collection
states that Calvert supplied “a variety of music and instruments, instruments
lent out, tun’d and repaired.”
It also appears in Issac Cooper of Banff’s (b. 1755-d. 1810 or 1811, although
sometimes the year is given as 1820) Collection
of Strathspeys, Reels and Irish Jigs for the Piano-Forte & Violin to which
are added Scots, Irish & Welch Airs Composed and Selected by I. Cooper at
Banff (London, Edinburgh, c. 1806). Purser (1992) believes Robert Burns
wrecked the words of “Dainty Davie” with successive revisions, attempting to
clean them up for George Thompson’s publications.
***
Dainty Davy was a lad;
He sold the shirt upon his back,
To buy his wife a looking‑glass,
To see how nice her beauty was:
So there was Dainty Davy! (Joyce).
