Long After it was Heard No More

by Lachlan and Erin Heycox (Broken Creek)

The full name of this tune is Long After it was Heard No More the Music Remains in the Heart from a Wordsworth poem.

This tune was commissioned by Felicity as part of the Stringmania silent auction. She gave us the prompts; she liked this particular fiddle player, she liked these particular tunes. It was really fun, we went through all the tunes trying to find all the common elements. Then we took those ideas, and made an original tune.

Felicity dedicates this tune to her father.

About Melbourne Tune collection

Melbourne Tune Collection records and publishes original folk tunes and songs from around Australia.

I started this project after realising that I barely knew any Australian folk tunes, even though I’ve been playing the fiddle for almost two decades. It wasn’t that Australians weren’t writing tunes, it’s just that there was limited publishing opportunities for them.

I thought maybe if I collect these tunes and put them together, they would have a better chance of getting played. So in early 2019 I set off with my camera and recorder, first around Melbourne, then across Australia.

This site is the result of these travels. Its purpose is to make Australian folk music as accessible as possible and promote the incredible music that’s being written today. I genuinely believe that there’s something special happening in the Melbourne and Australian folk music scenes right now.

I hope you enjoy playing through these tunes as much as I have!
