Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Lasses trust in Providence" is a Shetland and Scottish reel in D Major.
The parts are played AABB (Brody, Phillips) or AA'BB' (Martin & Hughes).
This older reel was widely known in the Shetland Islands and received additional
popularity through the playing of the influential Shetland Fiddle Band in the
mid-20th century. The phrase "Lasses trust in Providence" was evidently a
once-common saying.
It was printed in Anderson's Haand Me Doon da Fiddle (1979),
Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983),
Martin & Hughes' Ho-ro-gheallaidh (1990) and
Phillips' Fiddlecase Tunebook: British Isles (1989).
It was recorded by Abby Newton on Crossing to Scotland (1997),
Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas on Fire and Grace (2004),
Tom Anderson and Aly Bain on The Silver Bow and
Tom Anderson alone.
