Empire
The Commonwealth Games began life as the British Empire Games, making them the perfect inspiration for this week’s Three Tune Tuesday. Through three fascinating recordings from the early twentieth century, we explore how music reflected the rise, confidence, and changing legacy of the British Empire. From Harry Lauder’s comforting vision of soldiers carrying home across the globe, to the triumphant strains of Land of Hope and Glory, and finally an Irish folk melody that speaks to a culture finding its own voice, these records reveal how popular music could celebrate power, shape public opinion, and preserve identity. Rather than asking whether empire was simply good or bad, this episode examines how ordinary people experienced it—and how a few minutes of music can open a window into one of history’s largest and most complex stories. Lyrics The Foggy Dew As down the glen one Easter morn To a city fair rode I. There armoured lines of marching men In squadrons passed me by. No pipe did hum, no battle drum Did sound its loud tattoo But the Angelus bell o’er the Liffy’s swell Rang out in the foggy dew. Right proudly high over Dublin town They hung out that flag of war. ’Twas better to die ‘neath an Irish sky Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar. And from the plains of Royal Meath Strong men came hurrying through; While Brittania’s sons with their long-range guns Sailed in from the foggy dew. oh the night fell black and the rifle’s crack made perfidious Albion reel mid the leaded rail seven tongues of flame did shine o’re the lines of steel by each shining blade a prayer was said that to Ireland her sons be true when the morning broke still the war flag shook out its fold on the foggy dew it was England bade our wild geese go That small nations might be free. Their lonely graves are by Suvla’s waves On the fringe of the grey North Sea. But had they died by Pearse’s side Or fought with Cathal Bruagh, Their graves we’d keep where the Fenians sleep ’Neath the shroud of the foggy dew. but the bravest fell, and the requiem bell Rang mournfully and clear For those who died that Eastertide In the springing of the year. And the world did gaze in deep amaze At those fearless men and true Who bore the fight that freedom’s light Might shine through the foggy dew. then back through that glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore for I parted then with valiant men whom I never shall see more and back to and fro in dreams I’ll go and I’ll kneel and pray for you oh slavery fled oh glorious dead when you fell in the foggy dew It’s Just Like Bein’ at Hame A Highland regiment was forced to start, To a distant land across the foam; Whilst a poor old mither, with a heavy heart, Waited anxiously at home. Soon her sad face turned into a smiling one, When a letter came from across the sea For it said “Don’t cry! Don’t you sigh! I’m as happy as can be”: There’s a piper playing in the morning, An auld Scotch tune so fine There’s a tartan pladdie buckled on each laddie Oh it’s just like Auld Lang Syne. I can hear them praising Bonnie Scotland, Bonnie Scotland’s fame, So don’t sigh dear, Am a’richt here It’s just like being at hame. The fierce fight lengthened and the months dragged on, Whilst the roll call shorten’d every day; Though they saw their comrades falling, one by one Yet they bravely fought their way; For the handful left had sworn to do or die, And with one long cheer they forged ahead; And a Highland lad fought like mad, As mither proudly read: The flag was planted beneath the scorching sun, Where the white man’s rule will ever reign; And the brave Scots soldiers who had fought and won Were returning home again. And the Highland mither watched the passing ranks For the face of one she loved so dear, And in frenzied joy, kissed her boy, As he whispered in her ear:

This week, Three Tune Tuesday marks the anniversary of the discovery of the Rosetta Stone with three recordings celebrating the power of language. We begin with Róża Kiołbassa-Kwasigroch’s Polish “Laleczko ma,” recorded for Victor on July 21, 1911, before travelling to prewar Warsaw for Gershon Sirota’s stirring rendition of the Aramaic “Kol Nidre.” Finally, Raquel Meller brings us the Spanish drama and irresistible pasodoble rhythm of “El relicario.” Three languages, three musical traditions, and three fragile records that still speak to us more than a century later.

Discovery and Gold
Inspired by the documentary Dawson City: Frozen Time, this episode of Three Tune Tuesday follows a trail from gold-rush dreams to silent-film ghosts. Dawson City was built by people chasing treasure in the Yukon, but decades later another kind of treasure was discovered beneath the ground: hundreds of nitrate film reels, buried, forgotten, and preserved by the cold. This week’s songs move from romantic visions of gold, to the glamour of the moving pictures, to Arthur Pryor’s perfectly titled “Frozen Bill” — because sometimes history survives not by careful planning, but by being accidentally shoved into nature’s freezer.

The American Revolution
In this special Independence Day episode of Three Tune Tuesday, we celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence through three remarkable recordings that preserve the musical traditions of the nation’s earliest years. From the colonial dance tune Money Musk, to Durang Hornpipe Medley, honoring Revolutionary War veteran John Durang, to the stirring Washington Grays March, these recordings offer a unique glimpse into America’s musical heritage. Join us as we explore the stories behind the music, the artists who preserved these traditions on early recordings, and the lasting legacy of the American Revolution—one tune at a time.

First Times
This week, it’s personal. Boneapart skipped into new territory at the GNCC Arena Championship bonspiel — a first time playing on Sunday, a first time in a championship final. Runners-up in the C final, sure, but the letter on the bracket isn’t the point. The point is he’d never been there before. This was his first. So here’s the question: what are some others? First, off-theme and by way of welcome, Tuchki nebesnyia — “Clouds of the Skies” — a setting of Lermontov’s poem about clouds as eternal wanderers, composed by Alexander Dargomyzhsky and sung by Russian soprano Maria Mikhailova in 1903. The label names the composer and the singer but forgets the poet, so we’ll put Lermontov back where he belongs. Mikhailova made over 300 records and became one of the first singers anywhere to win her fame chiefly through the gramophone. Then the firsts. Chimes Blues, cut by King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band for Gennett in 1923, is a tidy twelve-bar blues — but listen to the twenty-four bars in the middle, the first recorded solo by a twenty-one-year-old second cornet named Louis Armstrong. Everything he’d become starts right there. And You May Be Lonesome, by Art Gillham, “The Whispering Pianist,” for Columbia in 1925 — credited as the first electrically recorded disc issued to the public. The first time a record caught a whisper, sung by the man who whispered for a living. Three firsts. What’s yours?

Animal House
This week on Three Tune Tuesday, we throw open the barn door for “Animal House” — three records with critters in the title and not a serious thought among them. No grand theme, no hidden agenda. Just a bird, some chickens, and a bee, scattered across two decades of shellac. We open with “On the Wing” (1904), a breakneck galop from Arthur Pryor’s Orchestra hiding behind the house name “Victor Dance Orchestra.” Pryor was Sousa’s star trombonist, and this one moves like something with feathers and a head start. Then the Six Brown Brothers turn their saxophones loose on “Chasing the Chickens” (1918), a fox-trot from vaudeville’s favorite reed-blowing clowns — back when the saxophone was still the funniest instrument in the room. We close with “Bee’s Knees” (1922), a Ted Lewis romp co-written by New Orleans cornetist Ray Lopez, the same man who’d helped copyright the first jazz record five years earlier. The title was brand-new slang that year: the very best of the very best.

Games
Three Tune Tuesday plays tunes. So why does this week open with a man reciting a poem? Because the best story about a game isn’t always sung. The theme this week is “Games,” and we follow the stakes as they drain right out of one — from everything riding on a single swing, through the swagger of a man who never loses, to an afternoon where the only thing on the line is a bag of peanuts. We open at the ballpark in Mudville, where DeWolf Hopper throws his whole booming theatrical might into Ernest Thayer’s “Casey at the Bat” (Victor, 1909) and the mighty Casey goes down swinging in front of the entire town. Then we take to the road with Kelly Harrell’s “Rovin’ Gambler” (Victor, 1925), the wandering player who wins every hand — and the girl besides. We land back in the bleachers with Harvey Hindermeyer’s “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” (1908), one of the very first recordings ever made of it, where the game costs nothing and everybody goes home happy. Hope, swagger, and Cracker Jack — three spins of the shellac. This week’s theme is inspired by our friends at https://ancient.games.

D-Day
D-Day happened in 1944. Three Tune Tuesday only plays music recorded before 1927. So how do you tell a D-Day story with songs that predate it by decades? You tell the story underneath the story. This week, we’re not playing war songs. We’re playing three recordings that trace the arc of what D-Day actually was — a moral obligation, a human cost, and a hard-won liberation — without a single reference to Normandy, the Atlantic Wall, or the Allies.
