FARAWAY WEDDING [1]. AKA - "Far Away Wedding (The)," "Far Awa' Wedding." English, Scottish; (Slip) Jig (9/8 time). England, Northumberland. A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. 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. See also the related "How She’ll Ne’er be Guided" and the second strain of "Joyful Days is Coming." See also melodically and harmonically related tunes such as "Kilkee Lasses" and "In and Out the Harbor (1)" in duple and triple metre.
