Transcription of The Morning Dew?

Does anyone know where I can find the sheet music to The Morning Dew as played by the Chieftains on one of their earlier albums?

I absolutely cannot believe you used the s-m words here, Beth! Shhhhh..... Someone will have you enrolled in SMUA (Sheet Music Users Anonymous) before you know it.

Hey, it's true that I looked at sheet music once, but I DIDN'T read.

Edit - here's what I've got so far, if anyone wants to actually help instead of just cracking jokes.

Though the jokes are fun too.

Highly simplified and Ava-version of solo whistle part at the beginning, with capitals for second octave. (Hey, I can read it, and it's worked for me in the past!) It's a reel, I think, or at least not jig time.

After I finish a few more weeks of my theory class I should be able to actually write it in notation. Don't worry Susan, I still won't read it, and the cops won't catch me carrying it.

The Morning Dew is a very common session tune, and a great tune at that. Do a search on JC's ABC Tunefinder (find it on google) and it'll spit out the sheet music.
Best,
Chris

Apparantly it's on Chieftans 4 and also a more recent compilation, neither of which I have. There's a version at the Session and probably several at JC's as Chris mentioned. The first and third measures of the version at the Session are a little odd and I've never heard it played that way.

Hey, Music Theory class! Don't recall that being in the engineering curriculum ... does this mean you've given further thought to what you want to be when you grow up?

Seriously, I'm sure you'll really enjoy the music classes!

Hi Paul!

Actually, it IS in the engineering curriculum - under the heading "Liberal Arts Concentration" - I have to take three classes in any one libby field, and one of the choices is music.

I have indeed given more thought to what I want to be but am no closer than when I started!
