T:the Terror of Death
T:s eagal leam a mbas
Z:Jack Campin  2006  http://www.campin.me.uk/
S:Daniel Dow, Ancient Scotish Music, 1778 or 1783
N:Dow attributes this to the harpist Rory Dall (who may have been two
N:people, one of them Irish and one Scottish a hundred years apart, or
N:they may both have been the same Irishman, there are several competing
N:stories all asserted with utter authoritativeness).
N:Dow printed it in a keyboard arrangement with a godawful bass line which
N:I have left out.
N:Works pretty well on the alto flute or the ud (it's quite similar to some
N:classical Middle Eastern compositions); I haven't heard anyone but me play it.

T:The Headless Body
Z:Jack Campin  2006  http://www.campin.me.uk/
S:Frances Tolmie: 105 Songs of Occupation from the Western Isles of Scotland
N:Tolmie explains that this is about a headless female giant who rampaged
N:around the countryside tearing her victims into pieces with her bare hands.
N:She (the giant, not Tolmie) was a form of the Morrigan, the Celtic goddess
N:of death.  This transcription is dedicated to Anne Widdecombe.
