McGlashan's Croanick

X:9
T:McGlashan's Croanick
B:NLS MS.5449 (Guittar/keyboard music, Scots tunes and minuets) c.1765
Z:Jack Campin, <http://www.campin.me.uk/> April 2001
N:"Croanick" must be Gaelic "coronach", lament.
N:Not published by McGlashan himself.  Presumably it was originally in
N:D for the fiddle.  The most similar codes in Gore's Scottish Fiddle
N:Music Index are for "Caidil gu Lo" (Patrick McDonald, 1784) and "Sleep
N:on Till Day" (Beauties of Niel Gow volume 2).  It seems vaguely related
N:to "Lochaber No More".
N:The six-quaver groups are beamed together in the MS.
