| Item Description | Melody only of the 'Reel - Lord (inserted above title) "Bob Williamson" - 'by Jas. Scott Skinner'. The blue colour, and faint pink/purple paper, show that it was probably printed on an old type of duplicating machine with a rotating stencil, invented around 1890. There are seven single staves, which Skinner drew with stylus and ruler onto the stencil. The music is in B flat major, in 2/4 time. The melody has a repeated 4-bar section, and an eight-bar section with 1st and 2nd time bars, followed by a 16-bar variation not published in the Harp and Claymore. The printed version has a few minor changes to the melody in the first bar. |
