HARRY DHU. AKA - "Syr Harri Ddu." Welsh, Air (3/4 time). C Major (Jones): B Flat Major (Thomas). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB (Thomas): AABB (Jones). The tune was printed in Blind Parry's [1] (1710-1782) Twelve Airs for one and two Guitars, 1781 edition. Edward Jones records: "Black Sir Harry, or Henry Salisbury, of the family of Hewenny in Denbigshire, lived in the latter part of the 14th century." The National Song Book, edited by C.V. Stanford (1906, p. 219) prints the song "Harri Dhu" and remarks:

Syr Harri Ddu was a man of swarthy complexion, as represented in his picture which formerly hung in the old Gothic Hall at Lleweny, where he was dressed in a suit of black armour. This Henry Salisbury was brother to Sir Thomas Salisbury of Lleweny, Denbighshire. There is an Ode addressed to him by the bard Lewys Môn, who lived about 1500.
