For tune of the month can I nominate cock of the north...mainly because I'd like to see what everyone does different with the tune. Plus its one of those tunes I go to peices on if I add in the LH.

If you want to know how to say it, it is pronounced "mach-UN-lleth", ....


Here's an audio file (played a touch on the fast side, sorry) ....

Ok, so any ideas anyone about how do you pronounce 'onmvoice'? ???

Oh ... but it does  >:E

I'm quite taken by Steve's 'down the valleys' tune, and didn't think the mpg was too fast at all. Basically much of Machynlleth slips in 2 notes where other melodies play just one, which makes it sound fast. But that's music and they do join together rather well. Any mostly sound adjacent butons (I've not had a go yet). It's not that much more demanding than StP and might be a worthy next 'st(e)p'.  OK there are 4 parts to learn but 3/4 are basically variations on 1/2  - and are traditional (it says here) :|glug

http://www.onmvoice.com/play.php?a=11550  - nice arrangement! :D  I love that drone .....

Dunno - the Georgians make wine in a Kvevri - we could ask them (I doubt it's Welsh)

(a) is subjective but Orange in Bloom is not a waltz thus fulfilling (b)

As I wrote recently in another thread, Orange in Bloom is in 6/8 time, which makes it a jig. However, it is played slowly and with syncopation to suit the Morris dance. It is easily transposed into 3/4 time and when played socially as a waltz is known as the Sherborne Waltz.

Well. Orange in Bloom is probably played most often in sessions as a waltz, but originally it wasn't - it's a slow jig used for morris. Here's a version picked off youtube at random, used for dancing and played as a jig:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlJrpYwP0-Q

Now... sometime in the 70's/80's (I think, someone may correct me on this - this is from memory, and I've no idea where I heard this), Rod Stradling thought that if he slowed it down a bit, and change the time signature, and hey presto, it's a lovely waltz. This he called 'The Sherbourne Waltz' (Orange in Bloom being a Sherbourne tradition tune). Here's a lovely guitar version of it I've just found:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbdM5Obgxo0

So it's all about time signatures. Most people call the tune Orange in Bloom even when played as a waltz. It's a very flexible tune, capable of being played in many styles so (in my opinion) makes a great TOTM nomination.

Cheers,

Clive

What if I don't want to play it for morris but don't want to play it as a waltz either...is that sacrilege?

There's so many other ways we could play it! Perhaps I feel a 5/4 version coming on!  >:E

I never understand how that works how you can change it. (and what your supposed to do with LH) But then I find it very hard to understand music anyway.

There is also much confusion possible as to the speed of the slows (C music for non-morrisers), both my teams do the first set of slows (kick capers) quickly and the second set (uprights) slowly which is great as thats what we do. At the Ale tomorrow it will all fall apart as there will be ~10 sides theer at least half of which will do it differently.

Goodness me! Talk about making things complicated!  ;)
Just stick with Machynlleth and you'll have no bother.  ;D
(PS - Sarah, it's a happy tune and it's not a waltz)

I sometimes wonder if I should keep a copy of all the bits of advice thrown up by the TOTM. Would make a great Advanced Beginner tutor book.

Just stick with Machynlleth and you'll have no bother.  ;D
except getting your teeth round the name ;)
