TRANSCRIPT
MUSIC
I started the Wednesday morning mixed instrument group many years ago, and it has developed over the years into a fun and friendly band. In our sessions
we explore tunes and collaborate in arranging them in exciting and interesting ways. It’s less about the individual and more about learning to play with other
instruments and creative an ensemble. During the course we’ll be learning tunes and exploring arrangements, with the
possibility of performance at a later date.In addition, smaller groups within the class regularly perform at hospitals, old
folks homes and social clubs. This is open to anyone who wishes to join in.

Oh Onochie O (James Oswald) air
Nigel Gatherer’s Scottish Collection
The composer James Oswald (1710-1769) was born in Crail, Fife, and
later lived in Edinburgh. At aged 31 he moved to London and published a great collection of Scottish traditional music, the “Caledonian Pocket Companion.” The melody was used by Robert
Burns for his song “The Border Widow’s Lament.”
Oh Onochie O - harmony
Pentland Hills
Pentland Hills (James Oswald) air
Nigel Gatherer’s Scottish Collection
In Flores Musicae (c1773) the title of this tune is given as The Battle of Pentland Hills, but there is no feel of a battle in this tune. Oswald (1710-1769) published it in the final volume of his “Caledonian Pocket Companion” collection in c1769.
Pentland Hills - harmony
The English CollectionShepherd &
ShepherdessThe Shepherd and the Shepherdess (traditional) Johnson, 1758
Two very old English dance tunes. John Johnson published eight volumes of 200 tunes each in the mid-18thC, including many Scots tunes which were popular at the time.
Maiden Lane (traditional) Playford, 1651
Isle of Capri
The Tango CollectionIsle of Capri (Will Grosz) tango
Wilhelm Grosz (1894-1939) was an Austrian composer who fled his native land for the UK in 1934. His serious works didn’t fare as well as his popular songs, of which Isle of Capri and Red Sails in the Sunset were the most well known.
My Jealous Eyes
The Tango CollectionMy Jealous Eyes (Mack David/Martita) tango
The lyrics for this song were written by New Yorker Mack David (elder brother of Hal David), and the music was by Martita (a pen name for Margery Cummings). It was released on the B-side of patti Page’s big hit How Much Is that Doggie in the Window?

The Shetland Collection
The great Shetland fiddler and collector Tom Anderson composed this air in the mid-1960s while driving along Weisdale Voe (a “voe” is a sort of mini fjord). It was originally in the key of F, but I’ve transposed it so that we can all enjoy it.
