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]

GOOD FOR THE TONGUE. AKA and see “Jenkin's Hornpipe,” “The Stoney/Stony Steps,” “The Washington Hornpipe.” American, Breakdown or Hornpipe. USA; Nebraska, Missouri. B Flat Major (Christeson, Cole, Ford, Howe, Phillips, White): A Major (Silberberg, Songer). Standard tuning. AB (Silberberg): AABB (most versions). The melody’s presence in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883) suggests this was once a brass band tune (as was, for example, “Ned Kendall’s Hornpipe”), a genre popular in the mid-19th century, and originally meant to be played on an instrument that featured ‘tonguing’ articulation of notes, like a coronet. Missouri fiddler Cyril Stinnett (1912-1986) thought it one of the more difficult tunes in his repertoire. Northwest U.S. fiddlers have changed the original key to A major. See also the related tune "White Fish in the Rapids." Sources for notated versions: Bob Walters (1889-1960, Burt County, Nebraska) [Christeson, Phillips]; Deborah and Creighton Lindsay (Portland, Oregon) [Songer]; Cathie Whitesides [Silberberg]. R.P.

GOOD MORNING TO YOUR NIGHTCAP [1] (Ball Ua Dia Ar Do Biread-Oidce). AKA and see “Over the Waves [2],” “Roll Her in the Rushes [2].” Irish, Reel. A Dorian. Standard tuning. AB (O'Neill/1850 & 1001): ABB' (O'Neill/Krassen): AABB (Miller & Perron). The tune was recorded by County Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman (1891-1945) in New York in 1927 as part of the set “Farrel Gara’s (sic) Medley – Reels.” Harry Bradshaw, in his notes to the Coleman reissue recording, labels the tune a ‘schottische’, although it is always heard rendered as a reel. A variant appears as an untitled reel in Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman’s mid-19th century music manuscripts. Goodman (1828-1896) was an uilleann piper, and an Irish speaker who collected locally in County Cork and elsewhere in Munster. He also obtained tunes from manuscripts and printed sources.

***

The tune’s title comes from a song of the same name by Dublin playwright John O’Keefe (1746-1838), who staged several well-known farces during the latter 18th century. It was written for his popular The Poor Soldier (1783, music by William Shield), and goes:

***

Dear Kathleen, you, no doubt,

Find sleep how very sweet ‘tis;

Dogs bark, and cocks have crowed out,

You never dream how late ‘tis.

This morning gay, I post away,

To have with you a bit of play,

On two legs rid along, to bid

Good-morrow to your night-cap.

***

Last night, a little bowsy,

With whiskey, ale and cider,

I asked young Betty Blowsy

To let me sit beside her.

Her anger rose, as sour as sloes,

The little gipsy cocked her nose,

So here I’ve rid along, to bid

Good-morrow to your night-cap.   [from the Universal Songster; or Museum of Mirth, 1834]

The air appears in Pills to Purge Melancholy, and John Gay's Beggar's Opera (1729) as well as other ballad operas.

***

Why how now, Madam Flirt,

If you thus must chatter,

And are for flinging dirt,

Lets see who best can spatter.

Madam Flirt!

Why how now, saucy jade,

Sure the wench is tipsy! How can you see me made

The scoff of such a gipsy?

Saucy Jade!

GOOD NIGHT, GOOD NIGHT AND JOY BE WITH YOU. Irish, English; Jig or Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). Ireland, Munster. A Minor (‘A’ part) & C Major (‘B’ part){Sharp}: E Minor (‘A’ part) & G Major (‘B’ part) {Stanford/Petrie}. Standard tuning. AB (Stanford/Petrie): AAB (Sharp). Petrie says the title “is common to several tunes of a similar character, and indicates the purpose to which they were applied, namely, as farewell dance, or march-tunes, played on the breaking up of festive meetings; and I believe this is, or, perhaps, was, the tune commonly played on such occasions in the province of Connaught.” Source for notated version: “A Munster jig set from J. Buckley. From (the Irish collector) Mr. P. Joyce” [Stanford/Petrie]; piper Patrick Coneely (Galway) [Petrie/Ancient Music]. Heymann (Off the Record), 1990; pgs. 34-35. Petrie (Ancient Music of Ireland), 1840; pg. 80. Sharp (Country Dance Tunes), 1909/1994; pg. 60. Stanford/Petrie (Complete Collection), 1905; No. 920, pg. 233.
