Back to Morpeth Rant (2)

MORPETH RANT [2]. AKA and see "Old Morpeth Rant." English, Reel. B Flat Major: G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Supposedly an older version of the well-known "Morpeth Rant (1)" from the north east of England, but different enough to warrant listing as a separate variant. In fact there were many variants of the tune recorded in various 19th century fiddlers' manuscript books, all have slightly different 'B' parts from one another. Sometimes one of these versions is called "Old Morpeth Rant" to differentiate it, although most were recorded in the copybooks simply as "Morpeth Rant." See, for example, versions in Cock's Collection [1] (Northumberland, early 19th century), John Moore's 1841 Tyneside music manuscript (p. 33), and versions collected and printed by John Bell [2] (1812) and John Robson [3] (1874).

Source for notated version: Borders fiddler Tom Hughes [Callaghan].

Printed sources: Callaghan (Hardcore English), 2007; p. 95.

Recorded sources: EFDSSCD13, Our Northern Branch - "Hardcore English" (2007. Various artists).
