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.

FROG AND THE MOUSE, THE. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). G
Major. Standard tuning. AABB. Kidson's tune is from Thompson's Pocket Companion for the German Flute (1797), and is the
same as that used for the old song "Amo Amas I love a lass" (from the
"Agreeable Surprise," 1781). He points out the nursery song "A
frog he would a wooing go" is quite ancient and is mentioned in the 1549
work Complaint of Scotland under the
title "The frog cam to the myl dur {mill-door}." A ballad "Of a
most strange wedding of a frog and mouse" was entered at Stationer's Hall
in 1584, according to Chappell. It can be found in Melismata (1611) and in Thomas D'Urfey's Pills to Purge Melancholy (1719) as a political song. American
versions go under the title “Froggie went a-courtin’” while in

FROG DANCE. AKA and see "Bonaparte's

FROG GALLIARD, THE. AKA – “Now, O Now, I Needs Must Part.”
English, Country Dance Tune (3/2 or 6/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning. AB.
This 16th century air appears in Morley's Consort
Lessons (1597), Robinson's New
Cithren Lessons (1609), Nederlantsche
Gedenck‑Clanck (1626), Stichtelycke
Rymen (1647), and a lute MSS. in the Cambridge University library. John
Dowland published it as “Now, o now I needs must part” in his First Booke of Songes or Ayres (1597).
The tune was published in 1649 in the Netherlands in a volume called Der Fluyten Lust-Hof (The Flute’s Garden of
Delights) by Jacob van Eyck (c. 1590-1657), a recorder player, carillonneur
of the Utrecht Dom Cathedral, and director of all the bells and clock-chimes of
the city. He called it “Harte Diefje, Waerom Zoo Stil” (Little Thief of My
Heart; Why so Still?). Chappell (1859) says several ballads were written to the
tune Chappell (Popular Music of the Olden
Time), vol. 1, 1859; pgs. 274‑275.

FROM NIGHT TILL MORN. AKA and see “Pauve Madeleine,” “Wine
Cannot Cure.” English, Air (duple time). D Major. Standard tuning. One
part. A late 18th century dance tune derived from the song “Wine
Cannot Cure,” a duet performed at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden, London,
where it was sung by “Mr. Johnstone and Mr. Incledon…,and by Mr. Dignum, and
Mr. Sedgewick, at the Je Ne Scai Quoit Club” (sheet music at http://levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/otcgi/llscgi60).
The first line of the song, from which the title is taken, goes: “From night
till morn (I take my glass In hopes to forget my Chloe).” Printed appearances
are numerous, and include vocal, dance and martial versions. It appears in
Carr’s Elegant Extracts (1796),
Preston & Sons Compete Instructions
for the Bassoon (London, c. 1790), Longman & Broderip’s A Set of Military Pieces {2} (London, c.
1790), George Willis’s Compleat Tutor for
the German Flute (published in London about 1792 by T. Cahusac), Logier’s Introduction to the Art of Playing on the
Royal Kent Bugle {i.e. the keyed bugle} (Dublin, c. 1813), and Andrews’ Complete Instructions for the Fife
(London, 1808). The melody was also wedded to the ancient ballad story
"The Maid and the Palmer" on a recording by the group Brass Monkey in
1983. Under the title “Wine Cannot Cure” it was included in the 1801 manuscript
tune book of John Jones (

FROST IS ALL GONE, THE. See "The
Frost is all Over."
FROST IS ALL OVER [1], THE (Taan Sioc Imtigte). AKA and see "The American Dwarf," “The Dancing of the
Rabbits in Honan’s Garden,” “D’Imthig an Sioc” (The Frost is all Gone), “The Frost is All Gone,” “Lisdoonvarna,” “Loughrea Jig,” "Mist of
Clonmel," "On a Monday
Morning," "The Praties
Are Dug, and the Frost is all Over,” “What Would You/I do if the
Kettle Boiled Over,” “What
Would You do if You Married a Soldier?” Irish (originally), English,
American; Double Jig. D Major. Standard tuning. AB (Stanford/Petrie): AAB
(O'Neill/1001): AABB (Songer): AABBCC (Moylan): AABB’ (Cranitch, Mulvihill,
Taylor). Samuel Bayard identifies the tune as a version of "The Masque,” later “Hey to the Camp,” published by Playford
in his Dancing Master of 1707 (13th
ed., 148), and, he believes, dating probably to the 1600's. It also appears (as
“Hey to the Camp”) in Walsh’s Dancing
Master of 1731 (No. 221). If it was English in origin (not an established
fact), the melody has survived today as a jig in both Irish and American
traditions. However, tracing it has been complicated by the confounding
association with sets of lyrics variously beginning “What would you do if the
kettle boiled over,” “What would you do if you married a soldier,” “The praties
are dug and the frost is all over,” and similar variant verses. These lyrics have been powerfully associated
not only with the “Frost is all over [1]” melody, but also with a close variant
jig melody “Frost is all over [2],” and with another jig, musically unrelated
but similar in character, that often is known nowadays as "Paddy's Return [1]." The lyrics
below were popularized De Dannan member Johnny Moynihan (who had them from
Seamus Ennis, who obtained them from Elizabeth Cronin of Macroon, County Cork,
who recorded them in 1947):
***
The praties are dug and the frost is all over, Kitty lie over close to
the wall.
***
What would you do if the kettle boiled over? What could I do but to fill
it again.
***
What would you do if the cows eat the clover? What could I do but to set
it again?
***
What would you do if you married a soldier? What could I do but to
follow the gun?
***
An Australian variation begins:
***
What would you do if the billy boiled over?
***
where billy refers to a billy can, a tin can originally used for
bully beef, and an improvised substituted for a kettle (Bob Bolton, 4/9/02, Mudcat Café Forum). A Pennsylvania
version of the “Frost is all over [1]” jig was collected in the 1930’s as an
untitled cotillion by Bayard. 19th century Irish versions appear in
the collections of P.W. Joyce (an untitled air, No. 516, from the Forde
Collection), George Petrie (collected in County Armagh), and, in a distanced
version recognizable mostly in the second part, of cleric James Goodman (Cork
& Munster). “Frost” is known as a popular jig in County Donegal (hear an
influential version was recorded by Paul O’Shaughnessy on the album “The Fiddle
Music of Donegal”). The third part (appearing in Moylan’s collection of Johnny
O’Leary tunes, and, in recording, played by Jackie Daly and Patrick Street) is
unusual and seldom played. See also the related tune “The Loughrea Jig.” Sources for notated
versions: accordion player Johnny O’Leary (Sliabh Luachra region of the
Cork-Kerry border), recorded in recital at Na Piobairi Uilleann, November, 1990
