Oro Se Do Bheatha 'Baile
Well this is my first Blog. Whoohooo …
Actually, Ferris is forcing me to do this.
The topic on this is about a thread I found the other day on MudCat Café. It was about whether Oro Se Do Bheatha ‘Bhaile and What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor are the same tune or not? You can find it at this URL.

The people on there all seemed very informed on musical theory and such. Which of course made me feel like I had no business giving an opinion on there. I’m pretty new to music.
My first response to this was, “I have both tunes in my song book, and they are not the same”. However, the rest of that night I lay in bed with first one, then the other running through my head. The rhythm of both is remarkably similar.
As I stated above, the whole music thing is really quite new to me so I couldn’t say if one was made from the other or not. I can tell you that I am now playing Oro Se Do Bheatha ‘Bhaile on the whistle. Just keep Drunken Sailor in mind as you practice, and the rest is easy.
There is also some discussion on the English translation from Gaelic.
Enjoy
Have fun all , and be safe.
