LAUDNUM BUNCHES. AKA - "Laudanum Bunches." English, Morris Dance Tune (6/8 time). G Major (Mallinson, Williamson): D Major (Bacon). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Williamson): AABBB, AABBB, AACCC, AACCC (Bacon, Mallinson). Laudanum [1], or Tincture of Opium, is a medicinal narcotic once readily available (although it is not dispensed in 'bunches'), containing 10% powdered opium in an alcohol/herbal mixture. A corruption of the title may be seen in the morris dance tune "Lads a Bunchum." Morris versions were collected from the village of Headington, in England's Cotswolds.
Source for notated version: William Kimber [2] (1872–1961). Kimber was a morris dancer and musician from Oxfordshire who died in 1961 at age 90, having established himself as a seminal figure in the revival of morris traditions. Cecil Sharp collected many of the "thousands of tunes" Kimber knew. [Williamson].
