MOON BEHIND THE HILL. AKA - "Moon Behind the Mountain." American, Air (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The piece, which source Melvin Wine played at a moderately brisk walking pace, is adaptation of a song melody. "Moon behind the Hill" was a song by T. Brigham Bishop, published in Boston in 1858. The words begin:

I watch'd last night the rising moon,
Upon a foreign strand;
Till mem'ries came like flow'rs of June,
Of home and father-land;
I freamt I was a child once more,
Beside the rippling rill,
When first I saw in days of yore,
The moon behind the hill.
When first I saw in days of yore,
The moon behind the hill.

Bishop's ballad, however, employs a different melody than Wine's

Melvin Wine (1909-2003)
