FARAWAY WEDDING [1]. AKA - "Far Away Wedding (The)," "Far Awa' Wedding." English, Scottish; Country Dance and (Slip) Jig (9/8 time). England, Northumberland. A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. It was an old tune by the time the Gows printed it in 1802, and it is interesting to compare their version with Daniel Wright's version in his Wright's Compleat Collection of Celebrated Country Dances (printed in London by John Johnson). The versions are harmonically and melodically very similar, but differ in details of melody. "Faraway Wedding" is one of the "missing tunes" from William Vickers' 1770 Northumbrian dance tune manuscript. Music for "Far Away Wedding" was printed by Walsh, with dance figures, in The Third Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master (London, 1735, reprinted in 1749). The melody was employed in the production Sancho at Court, or the Mock Governor, by Thomas Ayres, staged in London in 1742.
