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]

 

 

 

TRIP, DA. Shetland, Shetland Reel. Shetland, Whalsay (?).

           

TRIP AND GO. English, Country Dance Air (6/4 time). A Major. Standard. AAB. This sixteenth century dance air appears in Musick's Delight on the Cithren (1666). Chappell (1859) says 'trip and go' seems to have become a proverbial expression, as in Shakespeare's Love's Lavour's Lost:

***

‘Trip and go', my sweet.

***

Gosson's Schoole of Abuse (1579):

‘Trip and go', for I dare not tarry.

***

and Ben Jonson's Case is altered:

O delicate 'trip and go'.

***

Perhaps all these references stem from John Milton’s lyric poem L’Allegro, published in 1645, directed to the goddess Mirth:

Come, and trip it, as you go,

On the light fantastic toe;

And in they right hand lead with thee

The mountain-nymph, sweet Liberty.

TRIP TO CARTMEL. English, Country Dance Tune (4/4 time). A Mixolydian. Standard tuning. AABB. The melody comes from the Browne family music manuscripts, donated to the Armitt Library, now in the Armitt Collection of Ambleside Museum. The manuscripts were written in several hands over time and date to the 1830’s; prior to being collected and donated, they were in the possession of the Browne family of Troutbeck, in the old county of Westmoreland (now Cumbria). The attraction in the Lake District village of Cartmel was the horsecourse (and probably not the c. 1120 priory there!), dating to 1845 or earlier. Knowles (A Northern Lass), 1995; pg. 5.

TRIP TO COTTINGHAM. AKA and see “Garcon Volage,” “Sally Sloane’s,” “The Village Boy Quadrille.” English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). England, Yorkshire. G Major. Standard tuning. AABBCC. “Trip to Cottingham” can be found in the music manuscripts of Lawrence Ledley (1827-1897) of Helperby, Yorkshire, and in the c. 1800-1850 Brown Family manuscripts of the Lake District (other versions appear in the Brown mss. as “Le Garcon Volange” and “The Village Boy Quadrille”). English musician Johnny Adams says the tune inexplicably surfaced in Australia in the 1960’s played by fiddler and melodeon player Sally Sloane, and was called “Sally Sloane’s Jig” by local musicians. How this North Yorkshire tune remained in tradition to survive and be collected there is a mystery. The tune first appears in print by John Simpson under the title “Le Nouvell Fantasie,” perhaps an English imitation of a French tune (given that the grammar of the title is wanting). It also appears under the similar title “La Fantase” in the c. 1831 music manuscript of George Spencer, a musician from Leeds, West Yorkshire. Lionel Winship (Wark, Northumberland) entered it into his 1833 music manuscript simply as “A Quadrille.” The aforementioned Simpson had a music shop at 260 (later 266) Regent Street, London, from 1826 to 1869, and claimed to have invented the term flageolet. A double boxwood/ivory/silver flageolet with Simpson’s name and address resides at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, Australia. Simpson also traded in concertinas and published a tutor in 1855 called Easy Method of Learning the Concertina by John Simpson, Teacher of the Flageolet. He formed a short lived partnership called Simpson and Wieppert toward the end of his life, that manufactured concertinas. The Wheatstone records indicate that he regularly bought Wheatstone instruments to sell at his shop prior to the 1850’s.

TRIP TO DURROW, THE (An Turas go Darmhagh). Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning. AA'B (Carlin): AABB (Mallinson, Songer, Taylor); ABC (Breathnach). “Trip to Durrow” has been attributed to Irish fiddler Dan Cleary (1918-2004), of Ballinamere, County Offaly. Cleary played a number of instruments, including the uilleann pipes, piano and tin whistle, and was a member of a number of céili bands in the mid-20th century, notably the Ballinamere Céili Band, which won All-Ireland titles in the mid-1950’s. “Trip to Durrow” may stem from Cleary’s days as a young man with the Colmcille Céili Band, of Durrow, Co. Offaly, who played regularly in the Forresters Hall in Tullamore (see Treoir, vol. 38, No. 2, 2006, pgs. 37-38). The arrangement in Carlin's collection, by Leo Rowsome, differs from that in Taylor's by being more regular (the length of the 'A' and 'B' parts is the same with the 'A' repeated). Taylor (1992) makes the point that his version of "The Trip to Durrow" is unusual in the length of the second part (16 bars, repeated); perhaps unique in Irish music along with the possible inclusion of "Ballinasloe Fair" which also boasts a long second part, though it is altogether half the length of "The Trip to Durrow.” He thinks the tune may have originally been a three-part melody. Breathnach (1996) says the three part version, either AABBCC or AABCBC depending on the locale, has its source in his Ceol Rince na h-Éireann collection. He remarks that the last part was to illustrate a variant of the ‘A’ part, or how another musician had played the strain, but that a footnote explaining the structure was omitted from the volume.
