Sheet music

[Murphy'sLore]

Probably a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone has access to sheet music for Sons of the West?

I started piano lessons a few months ago and I'd love to be able to play our song!

Dunno ML, but I know the original song it is based on is very old and is known as Sons Of The Sea. Probably a better chance looking for that.

Here you go ML. It's Sons of the Seas but it's the same tune;

Thanks TD! You're a gem!

Re: Sheet music

Actually now that I look at it, I don't think that's the right song -- it's by the same composer, but a different tune. (I think -- my sight-reading is pretty ropey, but it doesn't look right to me.)

Thanks anyway...

There's a version of hawthorn singing it on the Australian movie the Club. Maybe it's on YouTube? It's worth seeing just for Rocket's performance.

Re: Sheet music

Ah, that's the one, thanks heaps BD. Trove is excellent.

Good to see the original lyrics, too.

Whether I can play it or not is the next question...

Re: Sheet music

Trove is my fave site OTW at the moment. I am compiling match reports from our VFA premiership years. So far I have over 200.

Love Trove. I've been wasting time/researching old Women's Weekly's from the 1940s. Fascinating stuff!
