'On Ikley Moor Baht'at' was arranged specially to celebrate Yorkshire Day on Saturday 1st August, 2020. The original work was performed and recorded virtually by a band from each of the 4 ridings of Yorkshire with the arrangement being made with this 'distance banding' idea in mind. Each of the verses is painted in a unique way to each other, telling the story and character behind the lyrics - which are sung in the traditional Yorkshire dialect.

Why does this instrumental version change after every verse? The very best version of Ilkla Moor is one in which the band holds in its incontinence and plays the same tune at the same tempo, without deviation, through all nine verses of the song. The humour is derived from the lyrics, not mucking about with the tune.

You have hereby answered your own question. This is an instrumental version - henceforth, no lyrics. Therefore it is upto the music to protrst what otherwise the lyrics would. P.S Sorry to hear are having difficulties with incontinence, your local GP should be able to offer some pads.

4 ridings? North, West, and East. Riding = thirds. South Yorkshire is a council area

Wikipedia is here to tell Jonathan Bates, yes, three ridings: "The word riding is descended from late Old English þriðing or *þriding (recorded only in Latin contexts or forms, e.g., trehing, treding, trithing, with Latin initial t here representing the Old English letter thorn). It came into Old English as a loanword from Old Norse þriðjungr, meaning a third part (especially of a county) - the original "ridings", in the English counties of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, were in each case a set of three."

That's really enjoyable and quite funny too ! I loved the Paganini bit , and I guess Prof Wilby would appreciate acknowledgement to his masterpiece as well . Thumbs up from me ( even though I'm from County Durham ) .
