The Humours Of Glendart sheet music

The Humours Of Glendart appears here in three separate scores, each opening in 6/8 with a key signature of two sharps (D major). None of the listings names a composer; the music is credited to “Misc tunes”. The versions differ in length, so the page is best used by comparing the scores themselves rather than assuming they are identical settings.

Reading the notation

Each score of The Humours Of Glendart opens with a 6/8 time signature and a two-sharp key signature, indicating D major. In 6/8, quavers are normally grouped in two dotted-crotchet beats per bar. An opening key signature describes the beginning of the score and may not reflect every accidental or tonal shift later in the music.

Comparing the three versions

The three scores are not identical in extent. One contains 627 notes and lasts about 84 seconds; the other two contain 182 and 226 notes and last about 24 and 30 seconds. No arranger or editor is named for any of them, so check the notation itself if you need a particular texture, register or level of detail.

What the listing does not establish

The material supplied does not identify a composer, a tune type, an original instrumentation or a named edition for The Humours Of Glendart. The title’s reference to Glendart is also unexplained here. Treat the scores as notation to inspect and compare, not as a complete account of the tune’s history or definitive form.

Counting and practice

Because each score is notated in 6/8, it can help to feel the bar in two broad beats rather than six equal pulses. A slow metronome click on two beats per bar can make the compound grouping clear before speed is increased. This is a reading approach for the notation shown, not a claim about how the tune must be performed.
