Information

Two settings of this tune are known, in Angus MacKay's manuscript and the Campbell Canntaireachd. Both are given in PS 15. The variations are the same as the corresponding variations of "The Desperate Battle of the Birds" apart from the Canntaireachd thumb variation singling and the singlings of taorluath and crunluath. The tune is evidently older than "The Desperate Battle of the Birds and is clearly one of the sources from which it was concocted.

Available in:

PS book 15
