Mairi's Wedding sheet music

Mairi's Wedding sheet music is listed here in three scores, including one titled 'Mairi's Wedding (aka Lewis Bridal Song)'. The versions differ in key and time signature, and one score names Violin as its part. These listings help compare key, metre and instrumentation; the listings do not verify the tune's history or every score detail, so check each score for range and phrasing.

Choose the key that suits your instrument

Two listed scores use a one-sharp key signature, and one of those names G major; the third score opens in D major with two sharps. The one-sharp and two-sharp versions place the melody in different keys, which affects range and fingering. Compare the opening key with your comfortable singing or playing range rather than assuming the title alone determines the best version.

Decide between 4/4 and 2/2

Two scores open in 4/4, while one opens in 2/2. In 4/4 the music is counted in four beats to the bar; in 2/2 the same bar is felt in two broader beats. That choice changes the pulse and how an accompanist might feel the music, so pick the metre that matches the performance you have in mind.

Check the instrumentation before choosing

Only one of the three scores names a part, Violin. The other two do not name an instrument in the listed details, so they should not be assumed to be violin versions without checking the score itself. If you need a single-line melody for violin, the score labelled Violin is the clearest starting point.

What the score listings can and cannot confirm

The listings give useful starting details: key signature, time signature, one tempo and one instrumentation. They do not establish difficulty, completeness, historical origin or whether the three scores are distinct arrangements. One score's composer field reads 'Trad. Scotland (1908)', but that attribution has not been verified against a supporting source here.
