T:HIGH LEVEL HORNPIPE, The
B:Hugh McManus MS Collection
C:J.Scott Skinner
C:ABC/arr.BB
N:BB notes:
N:1:This is another version of this well-known Scots hornpipe. Hugh's manuscript has it in Bb,
N:which is probably the original key. Present version in G is intended to make it more accessible
N:to the 98.23 percent of trad musicians who don't want to know from Bb (as we say in Brooklyn).
N:2:Hugh's setting of mm 13-14 doesn't include the E-natural to provide the distinctive "Vth of V"
N:sound that's normally associated with this tune. I have corrected that in my key of G arrangement.
