Scottish traditional song

"The Parting Glass" is a Scottish traditional song, often sung at the finish of a gathering of friends.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [half dozen]} It has also long been sung in Ireland, enjoying considerable popularity to this day and strongly influencing the manner in which information technology is often at present sung.^{[3] [4]} It was purportedly the most popular departing vocal sung in Scotland before Robert Burns wrote "Auld Lang Syne".^{[1] [6]}

History [edit]

Referent [edit]

Scottish silver stirrup cups, Hallmarked Edinburgh, 1917

The "parting glass", or "stirrup loving cup", was the last hospitality offered to a departing guest. Once they had mounted, they were presented one final drink to fortify them for their travels. The custom was practised in several continental countries.^[7]

Text [edit]

The earliest known printed version was as a broadside in the 1770s and it first appeared in book form in Ancient and Modernistic Scottish Songs, Heroic Ballads, etc. past Herd.^[i] An early version is sometimes attributed to Sir Alex Boswell. The text is doubtless older than its 1770 appearance in broadside, as it was recorded in the Skene Manuscript, a drove of Scottish airs written at various dates betwixt 1615 and 1635.^[8] Information technology was known at least equally early equally 1605, when a portion of the commencement stanza was written in a farewell letter, as a poem now known as "Armstrong's Goodnight", by 1 of the Border Reivers executed that year for the murder in 1600 of Sir John Carmichael, Warden of the Scottish Due west March.^[nine]

Exact lyrics vary between arrangements, but they include nearly, if not all, of the post-obit stanzas appearing in different orders:^{[ commendation needed ] [x] [11]}

Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent information technology in good visitor
And all the harm I've ever washed
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry at present I can't think
And so fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you lot all

Then fill to me the departing glass
And beverage a health whate'er befall,
And gently rising and softly call
Skillful night and joy exist to you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that ever I had
They'd wish me ane more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

If I had money plenty to spend
And leisure time to sit down awhile
There is a off-white maid in this boondocks
That sorely has my heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my center in thrall
And then make full to me the parting glass
Good dark and joy be with y'all all.

A man may beverage and not be drunk
A man may fight and non be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back once again
But since it has and then ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the departing glass
Good night and joy be with yous all
Expert night and joy be with you all

(The last poesy is the first verse in the Scots version.)

Tune [edit]

The earliest known advent of the melody today associated with this text is as a fiddle tune chosen "The Peacock", included in James Aird's A Choice of Scots, English, Irish gaelic and Foreign Airs in 1782.^{[12] [thirteen] [fourteen]}

Robert Burns referred to the air in 1786 equally "Expert night, and joy be wi' ye a'." when using it to accompany his Masonic lyric "The Goodbye. To the brethren of St. James's Lodge, Tarbolton".^{[15] [16]}

In 1800–1802, the vocal was incorrectly attributed to Joseph Haydn by Sigismund von Neukomm (1778-1858), who entered it in the Hoboken catalogue as "Skilful night and joy be wi' ye. Hob XXXIa 254. Mi mineur",^[17] which text has been wrongly attributed to Sir Alexander Boswell (1775-1822).

Patrick Weston Joyce, in his Old Irish Folk Music and Songs (1909), gives the tune with a different text nether the proper name "Sweet Cootehill Town," noting, "The air seems to have been used indeed as a general farewell tune, so that—from the words of another song of the aforementioned course—information technology is often called 'Good night and joy exist with you all.'"^[18] The historic Irish folk song collector Colm Ó Lochlainn has taken notation of this identity of melodies between "The Parting Glass" and "Sweet Cootehill Town".^[19] "Sweet Cootehill Town" is some other traditional farewell song, this time involving a man leaving Ireland to go to America.

The melody appeared, with sacred lyrics, in 19th century American tunebooks. "Shouting Hymn" in Jeremiah Ingalls's Christian Harmony (1805) is a related tune.^[20] The tune accomplished wider currency amongst shape note singers with its publication, associated with a text offset known in the 1814 Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs, "Come Now Ye Lovely Social Ring", in William Walker's Southern Harmony (1835), and in The Sacred Harp (1844).^{[21] [22]} This grade of the song is withal widely sung by Sacred Harp singers under the title "Clamanda".

Irish gaelic and North American influence [edit]

Dr Lori Watson, a lecturer in Scottish Ethnology at the University of Edinburgh states that information technology's difficult to fully trace the origins of many traditional songs:^[4]

Although it currently seems that Scotland has testify of the earliest published melody and several cute song variants, the pop Parting Drinking glass currently in circulation has strong Irish gaelic and N American influences to thank.

In regard to a modern version by Irish musician Hozier, Scottish vocaliser-songwriter Karine Polwart notes:^[four]

It really knocked my socks off. He clearly comes from a place where he understands his roots, singing in that really old ornamented Irish style. This would be 1 marking against the Scots challenge it, the melody of information technology is very similar a lot of Irish traditional tunes and the manner they sing it is with much more flourish and decoration, becoming a fluttering kind of tune. I find that actually moving – my favourite versions are almost all by Irish singers.

Modern adaptations [edit]

"The Departing Drinking glass" was re-introduced to mid-20th century audiences past the recordings and performances of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem.^[23] Their rendition featured a solo vocal by youngest blood brother Liam and first appeared on their 1959 Tradition Records LP Come Fill up Your Glass with Us as well as on a number of subsequent recordings, including the grouping's loftier-charting alive performance album, In Person at Carnegie Hall.^[24] The rendition by the Clancys and Makem has been described every bit "by all accounts... the nearly influential" of the many recorded versions.^[13]

The song "Restless Goodbye", written by Bob Dylan and featured on The Times They Are a-Changin' from 1964, uses the melody of the nineteenth century versions of "The Parting Glass" with Dylan'south original lyrics. Dylan had learned the tune from the singing of the Clancys and Makem.^[13]

In 1998, the traditional words were set to a new, different tune (reminiscent of Mo Ghile Mear, some other Irish traditional song) by Irish composer Shaun Davey. In 2002, he orchestrated this version for orchestra, choir, pipes, fiddle, and percussion to commemorate the opening of the Helix Concert Hall, Dublin, Ireland. His version appears in the moving-picture show Waking Ned Devine.

Film, TV and other media appearances [edit]

The song features prominently at the end of the motion-picture show Waking Ned Devine when friends of the deceased title character share a toast to him after his expiry.

Actor Pierce Brosnan performed a version of this song in the 2002 movie Evelyn.

Actresses Emily Kinney and Lauren Cohan performed a rendition of this song in the season three premiere episode "Seed" of The Walking Dead. It likewise appears on the soundtrack, The Walking Dead: Original Soundtrack – Vol. ane.

It was sung by Anne Bonny (played past Sarah Greene) at the catastrophe of the video game Assassinator's Creed 4: Blackness Flag.

It was sung by The Wailin' Jennys in the motion-picture show Wildlike.

Information technology was sung in the Boob tube serial Cranford past Joe McFadden in 2007.

At the request of Margaret Atwood, to end her guest-edited edition of BBC Radio 4'southward Today programme with the song, a version past vocalist Karine Polwart and pianist Dave Milligan was commissioned.^[5]
