Free arrangement of the Wild Mountain Thyme

[clh-h]

The song itself is public domain so it’s easy enough to find sheet music for the melody, but I can’t seem to find any site that offers a free arrangement of it, I’ve found free arrangements for other traditional songs but can’t seem to for this one. Does anyone know if there’s anywhere I might find one? It doesn’t have to be specifically for the harp.

Thanks! 🙂

Looking at it more closely, it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Most of it even fits my little harp’s 19 string range! The few notes that are too low all seem to be simultaneous other higher notes so I should be able to omit them without messing up the sound too much. 🙂

If you don’t mind, I’d love a copy of the arrangement, too.

The song is a variation of Braes of Balquhidder by Robert Tannahill in the late 18th century, so it’s not certain whether Francis McPeake wrote an original song or transcribed a version as it had been handed down. The lyrics are almost identical, the melody less so but similar. Nevertheless, he did get a copyright for it, so there we are. I think Braes of Balquhidder sounds prettier anyway.

May I ask for a copy as well, please? I ‘d love to give it a go . ;). Thanks so much!

Thanks in advance

There’s a really good book by Sylvia Woods with that and other folk songs like that one.

Yes….Sylvia Woods has a nice arrangement. Also, Janet Jackson (not the sister to Michael Jackson) has a nice arrangment. I found this youtube clip of the Jackson
