Fife and drum at Fort Napoleon #3 - Lilliburlero

[LutzDerLurch]

I find your vids informatiev, but the sound suffers heavily from being recorded in the Cellar

[t1t296]

What the fuck, that's not the lyrics to lilliburlero.

[broadband01]

written by a english soldier in cromwells army of the 17th century,he wrote it while serving in ireland against the catholics,later adopted by the protestant orange order

[korictixor]

bit of interference from the drums in a confined space..

[Professsor]

Have you got the sheet music for this?

[tequk1]

It reminds me of the fife and drums of Ulster. If you could produce this in better quality (while retaining the quality) and slightly lengthier I would be very grateful. :-)

[rehtged]

@tequk1 Well, I'm probably going to add a couple of new vids in the following months, I'll try to include it =)

[Professsor]

This sounds a little like a 17th century song called "Good advice to Batchelors" Nice playing!

[rehtged]

It's the third quick march composed by Jacob Rauscher for the newly raised army of the United Netherlands. "Mars voor de gezwinde pas nr. 3"

[dammo1993]

was this ever played by the british ?

[Mortixia123]

A variation of this is the quick march of the REME Corps, so yes.

[netherledy]

@dammo1993

Is the Pope a Catholic?

[bilstew]

@netherledy Naturally,he is a catholic and is at the head of the church,God bless him and his cotton socks.....

[bilstew]

@dammo1993 Yes of course it was played by the British to inspire them in battle...however I think the melody and the rhythm would lean more towards a celtic source and most likely Ireland......

[AEngleSaex]

@bilstew "however I think the melody and the rhythm would lean more towards a celtic source and most likely Ireland......"

Melody= Henry Purcell (English composer).

Rythym= 6/8 / jig (Originating in England).

Neither Irish or 'celtic'. The Irish claim enough of our culture without us starting to hand it over.

By the way. The pope is not "at the head of the church" he's head of the 'roman' church.

[bilstew]

@AEngleSaex Purcell pinched this tune from the celts and the pope is the head of the church which Henry V111 pinched and transmogrified to suit his own ends...

[AEngleSaex]

@bilstew "Purcell pinched this tune from the celts"...

That sounds ridiculous. Who are these celts?And why don't they play this tune any longer?

Purcell composed a tune called "Mr Bates way" as a hymn for the reformed church in the XVII century. English soldiers during the 'williamite' wars added the lyric we know today, mocking their Irish opponents using their crude interpretaion of the Irish battle cry which became 'Lilly Bolero' or Lillibulero.

Hope that clears up your confusion!

[AEngleSaex]

@bilstew Incidentally, i think your bigoted jibe concerning a rude and inaccurate interpretation of the birth of Englands glorious reformation was offensive and uncalled for. If your christian conviction is roman in outlook, that's for you to deal with.

I can appreciate that 'Roman' Catholcs consider the pope to be head of their church, but he certainly isn't at the head of the church i belong to.

[bilstew]

@AEngleSaex Your church sir was a complete transmogrification of the original church and was designed to suit not only the personal whims of Henry V111 but to suit the emerging class aims of that society,namely plunder and greed.

As to whether I am English or not and to my religious persuasion that is irrelevant.If I appear to be rude to you maybe you are a little too sensitive as there was no rudeness intended.

[AEngleSaex]

@bilstew How incredibly ignorant of you.

Henry VIII didn't invent the reformed faith! John Wycliffe started it in the XIV Century.

A belief that people cannot buy their way to Heaven and that ordinary men and women should be free to read scripture in their own native languages gave birth to the glorious reformation. After more than a thousand years of romanist clergy manipulating doctrine to suit their own greedy and political ends.

I have concluded that you sir are an antagonistic bafoon

[bilstew]

@AEngleSaex And you sir are a sick minded arrogant Macho minded fascisto.May you begone and take your quasi religion with you.

[slobjob13]

@bilstew LOL know when you're beat kid, you're embarrasing yourself infront of the international community using the medium of the web. LOL Stole it from the "celts" !!! LOL The 'Kelts' were a Nordic tribe from the area now called Norway. In the 1800's the Irish adopted the name trying to adapt it into an umbrella tittle for the Gaulish and Brythonic nations within Britain, to try to form allegiances against the English.

That comes from a Heathen btw.

[bilstew]

@slobjob13 The kelts my friend were not from any one place read your books and you will find that to be true."En puto la rano ne scias pri la oceano" and you cant get any more international than that

[bilstew]

@slobjob13 The kelts my friend were not from any one place read your books and you will find that to be true."En puto la rano ne scias pri la oceano" and you cant get any more international than that.

[slobjob13]

@bilstew What made you think i was your friend ? So now you're saying the English stole this tune that the Englishman purcell wrote, from an international group of people, not from any one country ? I think i will keep reading MY books, because you'rs sure do seem to lead the reader astray...

[bilstew]

@slobjob13 Yes blowjob he pinched it from the Kelts En puto la rano ne scias pri la oceano...

[slobjob13]

@bilstew Ok name calling and absolutely refusing to face facts about anything. I think we can safely say you are one of these "Celts" you we're talking of...

LOL some mothers do 'av 'em...

[ggmorvaj]

I love the acoustics in there!!

Do they ever make the drum reverberate !

Thanks for sharing this !!!!!!!!

[rehtged]
