<p><font face="sans-serif" size="4"> '''CROSSING THE STREAM'''. AKA and see "[[Come Over the Stream to Charlie]]," "[[MacLean's Welcome]]." Irish, Scottish, English; Air (3/4 time, "playfully"). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Originally a Scottish air, now sometimes employed as a waltz or waltz-country dance. The "[[Come O'er the Stream to Charlie]]" title comes from words set to the tune by Scottish poet James Hogg in his '''Jacobite Relics of Scotland''' (1821) where it appears under the title "[[Maclean's Welcome]]". In his note on the song (p. 301) Hogg says: "The air is beautiful, but the ingenious Captain Frazer has a better set of it in his collection". Charles Gore ('''Scottish Fiddle Music Index''') finds the melody in Gale's '''Pocket Companion''' (c.1800). <br> <br> ''Printed sources:'' O'Neill ('''Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies'''), 1903; No. 153, p. 27. </font></p> ---- <pre> X:1 T:Come Over the Stream to Charlie T:Crossing the Stream M:3/4 L:1/8 R:Air S:O'Neill - Music of Ireland (1903), No. 153 Z:AK/Fiddler's Companion K:G G2|G3B d2|d2B2e2|d2B2g2|d2B2A2|G3 B d2|d2B2 GE|D2 B2A2|G4:| d2|g3f g2|e3f g2|e2 a3g|(f2d2) d2|g3f g2|e2d2c2|B2A2G2|d4 B2| c3d c2|B2d2g2|edcBAG|(B2 A2) d2|g3 f e2|d2g2e2|d2g2f2|g4|| </pre> ---- <p><font face="sans-serif" size="4"> '''© 1996-2010 Andrew Kuntz.
