Back to Oldham Rant
OLDHAM RANT. AKA and see "Trip to Birey." English, Rant or Reel. England; North-West. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody is used for a polka step dance in the North-West (England) morris tradition. The 'B' part is similar to "Shepherd's Hey." The tune is contained in the 19th century Joseph Kershaw Manuscript. Kershaw was a fiddle player who lived in the remote area of Slackcote, Saddleworth, North West England, who compiled his manuscript from 1820 onwards, according to Jamie Knowles. Oldham is a town seven miles northeast of Manchester, England, now absorbed by the urban sprawl of the city. It is a manufacturing center and lies in a coal-mining region.
A 'rant' denotes a fast, lively, often rather simple dance tune, often in 2/4 time in English use. A similar tune, perhaps ancestral, is contained in the Joseph Barnes music manuscript (Carlisle, c. 1762) as an untitled 'jig' in duple time:
