Tell Her I Am sheet music

Tell Her I Am is a tune title with several sheet-music versions listed here. The available scores are short settings, and they do not all agree: two open in 6/8 with a one-sharp key signature given as G major, while another is titled as a jig but opens in 4/4 with no sharps or flats. Composer attribution is not established in these listings, so compare the versions rather than assuming they are identical.

Comparing the available versions

The listed Tell Her I Am scores differ in ways that matter before you play. Two versions begin in 6/8 with a one-sharp signature, while a third begins in 4/4 with no sharps or flats. Check the opening bars, key signature and time signature of the specific score you choose, because the title alone does not guarantee the same musical text.

Reading the key and time signatures

A 6/8 opening groups the music in two broad beats per bar, while a 4/4 opening groups it in four. The two 6/8 listings are given as G major; the 4/4 listing has no sharps or flats at the opening. These details describe the notation in the individual scores and are the quickest way to tell the settings apart.

The jig label and the 4/4 listing

One score title calls Tell Her I Am a jig, but that same listing opens in 4/4 with no sharps or flats. The two 6/8 listings are not labelled as jigs in their titles.

Attribution and title details

Composer information for Tell Her I Am is inconsistent across the listings. One score is marked “after Mr. Delaney,” another associates the title with “Joe Buchanan’s Scottish Tome - Page 256.3,” and a third gives no composer. Those notes may point to a source or collection rather than a confirmed composer, so authorship remains unresolved in the supplied material.

Common questions

Who composed Tell Her I Am?

A verified composer attribution for Tell Her I Am is not available in the supplied listings. One score is marked “after Mr. Delaney,” another associates the title with “Joe Buchanan’s Scottish Tome - Page 256.3,” and a third gives no composer. Those notes may refer to a source or collection rather than a confirmed composer, so authorship should be treated as unresolved.

What key is Tell Her I Am in?

Tell Her I Am appears in more than one key across the available scores. Two listings open with one sharp, given as G major, while a third opens with no sharps or flats. Because the versions disagree, check the key signature on the specific score you intend to use.

Is Tell Her I Am a jig?

One score title labels Tell Her I Am as a jig, but that same listing opens in 4/4 with no sharps or flats. The two 6/8 listings are not labelled as jigs in their titles.

Why do the Tell Her I Am scores have different time signatures?

The available Tell Her I Am scores do not share one time signature. Two open in 6/8, which groups pulses in two broad beats per bar, while one opens in 4/4. The listings do not explain the reason for the difference, so choose according to the notation and the feel you need rather than assuming the versions are interchangeable.

How should I choose between the Tell Her I Am versions?

Choosing between the Tell Her I Am versions depends on the notation you want to read. A 6/8 setting will look and feel different from a 4/4 setting, and the listed keys differ between G major and an opening with no sharps or flats. Check the first bars, key signature and time signature before practising or performing.
