Fìdeig, which can be found on their website: www.feisean.org
A note of thanks:Thank you to Fèis Rois YMI tutors Ruth Morris
and Claire Mann for their work on researching, collating and
arranging all the material for the tin whistle.

start.
We hope you enjoy learning all these tunes!

This can be done as a dance. Find a partner and then, holding
hands
with your partner, follow the actions in the song. During
'find
another partner', larger groups than couples can also be made
by
the teacher calling out a number. Make sure that no-one is left
out.
Some pupils could play the melody on the whistle while the rest
of
the class perform the dance.

A lassie or a wee laddie?
Choose, choose who you'll tak,
Who you'll tak, who you'll tak.
Choose, choose who you'll tak,
A lassie or a wee laddie?
The players stand in a circle. If there are up to 12 people, one
goes in the middle.
While 'choose, choose' is sung, the person points around the
circle, then chooses someone. That person comes into the circle and
the two inside
dance for the first verse. At 'choose, choose', the second
person chooses a third person to join the first two, and so on.
If there are more than 12 people in the circle, you can start
with two people in themiddle, each choosing a partner, so that the
game goes faster.
Wha learned ye tae dance, Babbity Bowster, Babbity Bowster?
Wha learned ye tae dance, Babbity Bowster brawly?
Ma mither learned me tae dance, Babbity Bowster, Babbity
Bowster,

There are a few other versions of this song. One is called
Babbity Bowster. The words are:

This is an old playground game. 'Aleerie' is a very old word
that means holding your
leg crooked. The original game was to bounce a ball three times
and lift your leg
and bounce the ball under it when you came to 'Aleerie'.
An adapatation of the game for the whistle class could be to
pass the numbered
notes around a circle. Individuals would play the written notes
for 'One, Two, Three',
then the class would play 'Aleerie', back to individuals for
Four, Five, Six and so on.

Let us catch well the hours
And the minutes that fly,
And we'll share them together this day.
So, come fill up your glasses
Of brandy and wine,
And whatever the cost, I will pay.

Chorus:
Wha wadna fecht for Charlie?
Wha wadna draw the sword?
Wha wadna up an' rally
At the royal Prince's word?
Think on Scotia's ancient hero's
Think on foreign foes repelled
Think on glorious gruesome Wallace
Wha the proud usurper quelled.
Chorus
See the northern clans advancing
See Glen Garry and Lochiel
See the brandished broadsword glancing
Highland hearts as true as steel.
Chorus
Now the prince has raised his banner
Now triumphant is our cause
Now the Scottish lion rallies
Let us strike for Prince and Laws.

Nae mair will the bonnie callants
March tae war when oor braggarts crousely craw
Nor wee weans frae Pitheid and Clachan
Mourn the ships sailing doon the Broomielaw
Broken faimlies in lands we've herriet
Will curse Scotland the brave nae mair, nae mair
Black and white ane til ither mairriet
Mak the vile barracks o the maisters bare
So come all ye at hame wi' freedom
Never heed whit yir hoodies croak for doom
In yer hoose a' the bairns o' Adam
Will find breid, barley bree and painted room
When Maclean meets wi' his freens in Springburn
A' they roses and geans will turn tae bloom
And a black boy frae yont Nyanga
Dings the fell gallows o' the burghers doon

Harp of joy, o cruit mo chruidh,

Strength and light thou'rt to me.

In the morning, when I go
To the white and shining sea,
In the calling of the seals,

Black the night and wild the sea,
By love's light, my foot finds
The old pathway to me.

O had your tongue dochter, ye'll get better than he, O say na
sae, mither, for that canna be,
Tho' Drumlie is richer and greater than he, Yet if I maun tak
him, I'll certainly dee.
Where will I get a bonnie boy, to win hose and shoon, Will gae
to Glenogie, and cum shune again,
O here am I, a bonnie boy, to win hose and shoon, Will gae to
Glenogie and cum shune again.
When he gaed to Glenogie, 'twas wash and go dine, 'Twas wash ye,
my pretty boy, wash and go dine,
O 'twas ne'er my Faither's fashion, and it ne'er shall be mine,
To gar a Lady's hasty errand wait til I dine.
But there is, Glenogie, a letter to thee, The first line that he
read, a low smile gae he,
The next line that he read, the tear blindit his e'e, But the
last line that he read, he gart the table flee.
Gar saddle the black horse, gae saddle the brown, Gar saddle the
swiftest steed e'er rade frae a town,
But lang ere the horse was drawn, and brought to the green, O
bonnie Glenogie was twa mile his lane.
When he cam to Glenfeldy's door, little mirth was there, Bonnie
Jeannie's Mother was tearing her hair,
Ye're welcome, Glenogie, ye're welcome said she, Ye're welcome,
Glenogie, your Jeannie to see.
Pale and wan was she, when Glenogie gaed ben, But red and rosy
grew she whene'er he sat down,
She turned awa her head, but the smile was in her e'e, O binna
feared Mother, I'll may be no dee.

My love Is On The High Seas
Tha Mo Ghaol Air Àird A'Chuain

Feasgar ciùin an tùs a' Chèitein On a quiet evening at the
beginning of May
Nuair bha 'n ialtag anns na speuran When the bat was in the
skies
Chualaim rìbhinn òg 's i deurach I heard a tearful young
maiden
'Seinn fo sgàil nan geugan uain' Singing beneath the shadow of
the green branches
Bha a' ghrian 'sa chuan gu sìoladh The sun was setting in the
sea
'S reult cha d' èirich anns an iarmailt And no stars yet graced
the sky
Nuair a sheinn an òigh gu cianail When the young girl sang
sorrowfully
"Tha mo ghaol air àird a' chuain" "My love is on the high
seas"
Thòisich dealt na h-oidhch' ri tùirling The night's dew began to
fall
'S lùb am braon gu caoin na flùrain Each bloom yielding softly
to the droplets
Shèid a' ghaoth 'na h-oiteig chùbhraidh The wind blew in a
fragrant breeze
Beatha 's ùrachd do gach cluan Bringing life and renewal to each
field
Ghleus an nighneag fonn a h-òrain The girl tunefully sang her
song
Sèimh is ciùin mar dhriùchd an Òg-mhìos Quiet and peaceful like
the June dew
'S bha an t-sèisd seo 'g èirigh 'n còmhnaidh And this chorus
constantly repeated
"Tha mo ghaol air àird a' chuain" "My love is on the high
seas"
Chiar an latha is dheàrrs' na reultan Day darkened and the stars
shone
Sheòl an rè measg neul nan speuran Setting their course amongst
the clouds
Shuidh an òigh, bha 'bròn 'ga lèireadh The maiden sat, burdened
by her sadness
'S cha robh dèigh air tàmh no suain Her singing could not have
been more soothing
Theann mi faisg air reult nan òg-bhean I moved closer to the
young woman
Sheinn mu 'gaol air chuan 'bha seòladh Singing of her love
sailing on the sea
O bu bhinn a caoidhrean brònach Oh sweet was her sad lament
"Tha mo ghaol air àird a' chuain" "My love is on the high
seas"
Rinn an ceòl le deòin mo thàladh The music enticed me
Dlùth do rìbinn donn nam blàth-shul Nearer to the brown-haired
maiden of the warm eyes
'S i ag ùrnaigh ris an Àrd-Rìgh And she prayed to the King of
Heaven
"Dìon mo ghràdh 'th' air àird a' chuain" "Protect my love on the
high seas"
Bha a cridh' le gaol gu sgàineadh Her heart was breaking with
love
Nuair a ghlac mi fhèin air làimh i When I took her by the
hand
"Siab do dheòir, do ghaol tha sàbhailt "Wipe your eyes, your
love is safe
Thill mi slàn bhàrr àird a' chuain" I have returned to you from
the high seas"

Chorus
Oh, I see, I see the great mountains
Oh, I see, I see the lofty mountains
Oh, I see, I see the corries
I see the peaks beneath the mist
I see, straight away, the place of my birth
I will be welcomed in a language which I understand
I will receive hospitality and love when I reach there
That I would not trade for a ton of gold
Chorus
I see woods there, I see thickets there
I see fair, fertile fields there
I see the deer on the ground of the corries
Shrouded in a garment of mist
Chorus
High moutains with lovely slopes
Folk there who are always kind
Light is my step when I go bounding to see them
And I will willingly remain there for a long while

Whistle Games and Activities 1. Mexican WaveSit in a circle and
attempt to pass a note around the circle, passing it from one
person to the nextwithout a gap in the sound, like a Mexican wave.
Start with B and then see if you can do it with allthe notes.
2. HocketUsing a simple tune such as Hot Cross Buns, see if you
can play it in a ‘hocket’. There are 2 waysof doing this. First
split the room into 2 groups. One group plays B, the other group
plays A, the firstgroup plays G, the second group plays B, and so
on. Passing each note from one group to theother. This can be
further developed to try and pass the tune around the circle in
this way; the firstperson plays B, second plays A, third plays G
etc.
3. Conducting/ playing wordsSomeone chooses a note and everyone
has to try and play it. Pupils can take turns to choose thenotes.
This can be developed by thinking about which words can be spelled
using the availablenotes on the whistle, then trying to play the
words.
4. High, Low, MiddleAssign an action to a High note (stretch
up), Middle note (make a cross with arms out) and Lownote (crouch
or arms down). Play a run of notes and then play a longer high, low
or middle note.The children then guess the note by using their
actions. Allow the class a few practice runs thenthey can be
eliminated for getting it wrong or hesitating.
5. Guess the noteAsk the class to shut their eyes and play them
a note. They then have to try and match it byplaying what they
think that note is. This could be done with the whole class or with
individuals/pairs.
6. Chord build upStart by sending a continuous note around the
circle, for example a G. Once the G getsapproximately half way
around start sending another note to add on top (B). The children
onlychange note when it reaches them. Add more notes to build up a
chord.
7. Copy the rhythmSomebody chooses a note and plays a rhythm on
that note, the next person has to try and play thesame rhythm, and
it gets passed around the circle. You can start with the person
choosing sayingwhat the note is, then you can develop it to having
to guess the note as well as copy the rhythm.
