Farewell To Whiskey sheet music

Farewell to Whiskey appears here in three notated versions: one opens in A major with a 2/4 time signature, one in D major with 4/4, and one with no sharps or flats in 2/2. Checking the opening key and meter is the quickest way to distinguish these versions before you play.

The score titled “Neil Gow - Neil Gow’s Farewell to Whiskey” gives Neil Gow in both the title and composer field. The other two Farewell to Whiskey scores list no composer, and the available material does not verify Neil Gow’s connection to the tune.

The Neil Gow-labelled Farewell to Whiskey score lists an opening tempo of 40 BPM in 2/2 time. That marking belongs to that particular score, so compare it with the notation and any reference performance you are using.

Choosing between the Farewell to Whiskey versions starts with the opening key and meter: A major in 2/4, D major in 4/4, or no sharps or flats in 2/2. Match those details to your instrument, ensemble or preferred reading, then check the first bars to confirm the notation fits.

The available Farewell to Whiskey score records do not identify instrumentation or arrangement type. Players should inspect the notation itself to see what the score is written for rather than assuming a particular instrument or ensemble.

The origin, date, genre and composer attribution of Farewell to Whiskey are not established by the available material. One score names Neil Gow, but that attribution remains unverified; the scores also do not confirm a standard version, instrumentation or difficulty level.
