The widely played
Cape Breton setting of this Scottish pipe tune is given
in The
Dungreen Collection
where it has the same AABBCCBB structure given above. To
avoid 'duplication' the above setting is not included in
The
Cape Breton Highland
Collection.
My arrangement uses
ideas from Donald
Angus Beaton,
Johnny Wilmot, Donald MacLellan, Buddy
MacMaster and
David
Greenberg. As
well, I played through the original published strathspey
and reel settings given in Glen and note that the tune
has changed significantly within the Cape Breton
tradition.
