*Notes:  The “arranged” and “melody” audio clips above seem somewhat different from one another.  Peter Macfarlane writes, “there are 2 main differences,
1. The arranged version starts with some of the harmony accompaniment (an ‘A’ part of the top fiddle harmony followed [by] an ‘A’ part of both fiddle harmonies) before the melody kicks in at 0:29. The melody is rather buried under the accompaniment, but it’s there.
2. Last (3rd) time through, the melody of the ”B’ part is missing, and in its place there’s a floaty interlude, reminiscent of the second part of the intro.”
