Yorkshire Lad
editWarning: Original Research: '"The Yorkshire Lad" ... bears little resemblance to "The Keel Row" except in the first two bars.' I beg to differ. The first four bars (half the piece) are closely related. In the second line the next two bars are quite different, but the final two bars are again similar to the Keel Row. I would suggest that the two pieces may share a common ancestor somewhere, maybe a bit like chimps and humans. One thing that is instantly apparent is the almost Scottish rhythm of the Keel Row. Those semiquavers immediately before the bar line are so reminiscent of grace notes for bagpipe music. Again, a common ancestor some time prior to (say) 1700 which could be circulating around the Northeast of England and Southern Scotland (seamen?) could lead to such variation. I've set it in Lilypond so have the score and midi available if you think they would be of use somewhere. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 11:32, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- I've toned down some of the previous editor's OR / opinion a bit; I don't think their assertion about the word 'keel' proves much about the tune's origin, as it's not certain that the 'keel row' words (even without the early 19th century additions) were the original ones in any case.
- Incidentally Jamieson's Scottish dictionary defines "Keel-Row" as "a Gallovidian country dance" - there certainly seems to be a long history of claiming it as Scottish.Svejk74 (talk) 17:03, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
