Tunebook – Edited by Nick Barber
CONTENTS
1. March (Rasmus Storm nr 13)
The Rasmus Storm manuscript dates from 1760 and is in the
Royal Danish Library. During the lockdown of 2020 we had fun
exploring his tunes, many of which were published in Nick’s
nodebog.
2. Murchy (Rasmus Storm nr 14)
This tune has made its way into English sessions as the “Funen
March”. Funen is the area of Denmark where Storm grew up.
3. Agoriad y Blodau
Translated as The opening of the flowers, this is one of three
Welsh tunes that we play as a set. This tune is attributed to
harpist John Roberts (1816-1894).
4. The Height of Cader Idris
This tune was published in Two Hundred and Fifty Welsh Airs
for a Shilling by Davidson’s Musical Miracles, 1859.
5. The Imperial Quickstep
We were taught this tune by Chas Marshall. It was published in
the O’Farrell Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes,
Volume II in 1806.
6. Adele’s Delight
Written by Colin Hulme, this tune is a favourite at the
Harrogate Tap and Spile session.
7. March of St Timothy
This North American tune was written in 1985 by Judy
Morningstar of the Ruffwater Stringband.
8. Malthouse Hornpipe
This tune is to be found in the 19th century East Anglian
manuscript of William Clarke of Feltwell.
9. Stybarrow Crag
Every time we find a William Clarke tune that we like we seem to
find a partner for it in the manuscript books of Lakeland fiddle
player, William Irwin.
10. Round the World for Sport This version is from the Yorkshire manuscript book of Joshua
Jackson, dated 1798. Unlike some versions, there are only two
parts.
11. I’ll Touzel your Kurchy This is another tune from the Jackson manuscript. In the words of
Anahata: “old English tousle meaning make untidy and kerchy,
short for kerchief which is a square piece of cloth used as a head
scarf. The tune has an alternative title Rustic Courtship, which
suggests that the title means rather more than it says...”
12. Carol’s Waltz Composed in 2018 by Nick at the birthday party of Carol
Klemperer.
13. Vidars vals
This waltz was composed by Vidar Skrede, a Norwegian hardanger
fiddle player.
