What the listed versions contain

The two 4/4 Logan Water scores do not name instruments in their score details. The version titled “Logan Water mandotab” lists four parts—mandolin, cello, oboe and bassoon—and is the only listed version with a specified mixed ensemble. All three open with no sharps or flats.

Choosing by instrumentation and meter

An ensemble with mandolin, cello, oboe and bassoon has a directly relevant four-part option in “Logan Water mandotab.” Players who need an unspecified instrumentation can compare the two 4/4 versions, but their score details do not identify parts or difficulty. Check the actual part layout before committing.

Key signature and tempo indications

The key signature of no sharps or flats is consistent with C major, A minor or a related mode, but the score details do not state the intended key. One 4/4 version lists an opening tempo of 120 BPM; the other 4/4 version has no tempo listed. The 2/2 mandotab version lists 35 BPM. Treat these as opening indications rather than a verified performance tradition.

What remains unverified

The available score details do not identify an original composer, date, place of origin, or lyrics for Logan Water. The Charles McLean credit belongs to the mandotab version; the supplied material does not establish whether McLean composed the tune, arranged that version, or both. Edition status and difficulty are also unverified.
