Auld Tunes - Stumpie

As The Traditional Tune Archive says, "The melody "Maggie Lauder" (and its many variant spellings) has had astonishing longevity from its first publications in the late 17th and early 18th centuries

Here's my setting of Maggie Lauder, certainly an auld tune as it seems to have first appeared, as far as I know, sometime in the 1600s.

Time for another auld tune. Jack Lattin was once popular all across these islands. Composed in Ireland sometime in the early 1700s it quickly spread across the Irish Sea and appears in many Scots music collections of the 18th century.

Here are my settings of tunes from David Young’s Drummond Castle Manuscript book one, circa 1737. Some fit the pipes with no changes or simple transposition, others are fiddle tunes that required reconstructing to a 9 (or occasionally 10) note scale.
Deciding to share them makes me realise how much work must go into publishing books of auld tunes, especially those with thorough research and notes.

I've been spending a lot of time with old tunebooks and manuscripts recently and I plan to share my border pipe settings of some of the tunes from them. First, a bit of background to my interest in these auld tunes.

Auld Tunes

It is remarkable that tunes like Corn Rigs (first appears c1671) or The Roke (first appears c1663) have been part of our repertoire for at least 350 years but there are plenty more that that have fallen out of favour and countless others that have been forgotten completely.

Syncopation in traditional Scottish music is a modern thing you say? Check out this from c. 1734, strain six from David Young’s twenty strain (!) setting of Tullich Reel (The Reel of Tulloch), from one of his Drummond Castle manuscripts. This is the same strain twice, transcribed two different ways. The first is exactly how it appears in the manuscript with only the ornamentation removed.
