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] |

After the dance, followed a supper, where
cheerfulness and good humour
prevailed. Those who could sing entertained
the company, which remained
to a late, or rather early hour...I
particularly noticed Mrs. Grant of Caron, a
very pleasant sensible woman. Her two songs
were "Yowie wi the crookit
horn," and "Tibby Fowler in the Glen."

TIDDLE TOOK TODFISH. Old‑Time, Breakdown. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB'. Bayard was
not able to trace this tune, though he notes a resemblance to "The Cosmopolite" in Cole's 1000 (pg. 31). I believe that the
first part of “Tiddle took Todfish,” however, is a variant of the second part
of “Liverpool Hornpipe [1].” Source
for notated version: David P. Gilpin, Connellsville, Pennsylvania, September
22, 1943 (learned at Dunbar, Pennsylvania). Bayard (Hill Country Tunes), 1944; No. 17.

TIDE AT THE TAING. Scottish, Air (6/8 time).
Scotland, Orkney. E Flat Major. Standard tuning. One part. A modern composition
by Orcadian fiddler Jennifer Wrigley. The Taing, on the island of Wyre, is a
prime viewing spot for Common and Grey seals. Martin (Traditional Scottish Fiddling), 2002; pg. 106. Jennifer & Hazel Wrigley – “Dancing Fingers.”
TIDE COME IN [1], THE. AKA and see "Till the Tide Comes In." English,
Country Dance Tune (4/4 time). England, Northumberland. G Major. Standard
tuning. AB (Kidson): AABB (Stokoe & Bruce). Kidson (1890) identifies this
as a popular Northumbrian song which has "been long known on the Tyne
banks." The version he prints is from A
Collection of Marches, Quicksteps, Strathspey, and Reels...adapted for the
Pianoforte by Thomas Calvert, Kelso (1799), and he finds a somewhat
different set in Topliff's Melodies of
the Tyne and Wear (c. 1812). Calvert was a musician who lived in Kelso, in
part supporting himself with “a
variety of music and instruments, instruments lent out, tun’d and repaired.” 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. Stokoe and Bruce (1882)
mention that Sir Cuthbert Sharpe, in his Bishoprick
Garland:
***
Till the tide comes in, till the tide comes in,
We'll sit upon the pier till the tide comes in.
***
Frank Kidson (1890) prints these
words from the "Tyne Songster" of 1840:
***
While strolling down sweet
A man-o'-war's blade I chanced to meet:
To drink a good glass till the tide came in.
***
A similar song appears in the
manuscript collection of Northumbrian collector John Bell (a librarian to the
Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle-upon-Tyne), and begins:
***
While strolling down by
A Shipmate there I chanc’d to meet;
“I’ll treat you with a pint of gin,”
Says he, “until the tide comes in,”
CHO:
Till the tide comes in, till the tide comes in,
Right merry will we be till the tide comes in;
We’ll music bring, and dance and sing
And kiss the pretty girls till the tide comes in.
***
Henry Robson, who wrote the list of
Northumbrian tunes previously referred to, also wrote a more modern song about
the beginning of the 19th century to the same air, and Stokoe and Bruce note it
is generally found in collections of local Northumbrian songs; it is perhaps
the one printed in the above "Tyne Songster." Bruce & Stokoe (Northumbrian Minstrelsy), 1882; pg. 177
(appears as "Till the Tide Comes In"). Kidson (Old English Country Dances), 1890; pg. 20.

TIDE COME IN [2], THE (Tháinig an Taoide Isteach). AKA – “The Tide Came In,” “When the Tide Comes In.” AKA and
see “The Brown Casket/Chest,” “The Brown Coffin,” “(An) Comhra Donn.” Scottish (originally), Irish;
Hornpipe. G Minor (Kerr): D Minor (Miller). Standard tuning. AABB. Some
similarities to version #1. According to Donegal fiddler Danny O’Donnell the
tune was also called “Factory
Smoke Hornpipe” and “The Flowing
Tide [2]” (the latter title also belongs to a popular but unrelated
hornpipe). The tune is sometimes attributed to Tyneside fiddler and composer
James Hill (it is included in Graham Dixon’s 1987 book of Hill compositions, The
Lads Like Beer), but the attribution is conjectural. The Charlton Memorial Tune Book (1956) attributes an E minor
version of the tune (called “When the Tide Comes in”) to one Jack Davidson.

TIE-HACKER HOEDOWN, THE. Old-Time. USA, north-central Missouri. C
Major. Howard Marshall explains that a tie-hacker was an itinerant worker who
cut ties from the north Missouri forest for the railroads in the late 1800's, following
the Civil War. They were often Irish or Scots-Irish who lived in camps in the
white oak woods and some of their music was preserved in the Wilson family,
Howard’s source. MSOTFA 202-CD, Nile Wilson (Linn
County, Mo.). Voyager VRCD 344, Howard Marshall & John Williams – “Fiddling
Missouri” (1999. Learned from Niles Wilson of Bucklin, Mo.).
