English traditional tune · piano · c. 1820 edition · 1 page
Complete score of “The Keel Man Coming O'er Land” from A Selection of the Melodies of the Tyne and the Wear (p. 38).
Playable score
The 24 written melody bars and three repeated strains of the traditional jig in Northumbrian Minstrelsy (1882) remain unchanged in the right hand. A restrained 6/8 bass-and-chord part has been newly arranged for the left. It is this site's arrangement, not a reconstruction of Topliff's different c. 1820 piano setting below.
