Often played as a much quicker hornpipe, but I prefer it as a slow air. Written by James Watt (1832-1909) a fisherman of Pennan, Aberdeenshire. Played here on a Beltuna Sara 3 in D/G.

Learned in juniors school as a song, to teach us something about our local history as well as to exercise our vocal chords. I was never a singer but the spooky melody stuck.

In A and D on an A/D Beltuna Sara III The box is a tad small for this as I discovered in the first half (more practice needed) but the cat murmured her approval at the end, as she often does, so I left the video as is, warts’ n’all.

    The Rose of Raby was a real person. Her name was Cecily Neville and she lived in Raby Castle (County Durham) in her early years. She married Richard, Duke of York and she was mother of two kings - Edward IV & Richard III. Her beauty was legendary, hence the name Rose of Raby.

  • @InArcadiaSum
    @InArcadiaSum Рік тому

    It may be a jig, but that doesn't mean it has to be played at the breakneck speed some players favour. The tempo here is exactly right. I also like the tune because I know a couple, by name William and Nancy.

    • @Swordsmith100

      Yes, I played this as I play it for Black Gate Morris, Newcastle. But some of my tune arrangements on here are not played as for dancing.
