Back to Highlander's Farewell (4)
HIGHLANDER'S FAREWELL [4]. Old-Time, Breakdown. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. Traditional. The tune, which is a variant of the Scottish "Highlander's Farewell to Ireland (1) (The)," was in the repertoire of Grayson County, southwestern Va., fiddler Emmett Lundy [1] (1864-1953) and recorded by him by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress (AFS 04939 B03). On the recording Lundy explains: "This piece was composed in the old country, where they had war in Scotland. And when the Highlanders took their departure from the Lowlands. A Highlander had a sweetheart in the Lowlands, and they just give him so long for to bid her farewell; and the low part of this represents the man and the high part, the lady." There is some similarity between this tune and the contra-dance staple "Growling Old Man and Grumbling Old Woman (The)" and the old-time piece "Elzic's Farewell (1)."
