Subject: Sheet music for "Bonny Portmore"
For those of you who are still in search of sheet music to
"Bonny Portmore" - here's a few resources:
O'Neill's Music of Ireland (the version with 1850 tunes);
look for the tune "Peggy Lavan" - I think it's number 140,
but examine the "Slow Airs" section of the table of contents
to be sure.
Bunting's 'The Ancient Music of Ireland'; (it's back in
print <g>) look for tunes from harper Peggy Lavan (hence the
first listing <g>) / Margaret Lavan.
Laura Zaerr's "Celtic Concerto"; bit pricey, though, if all
one wants is "Bonny Portmore".
And, finally, on the Web, and the reason for this post <g>,
Roger Muma's arrangement is now at:
http://www.sibeliusmusic.com/cgi-bin/show_score.pl?scoreid=12306
Yes, it's scored for harp, but Roger's a harp-maker, I'm a
harp-player, and "them's the breaks", so be prepared to
re-arrange if doing melody line only.
