Mystery solved and 7 pages of music posted
Hello and Merry Christmas all. Marc Smith is having computer limitations for a few more weeks and asked me to post all the orchestral parts of Ecstacy Schottische on his behalf. I'll do that right now. Now that I see the music the mystery of three keys is solved.
Ecstacy (that's how it's spelled by SS Stewart here) is in the key of F. All the banjos are reading old notation (3 half steps low) but are tuned in modern (aka English) tuning. So they are fingering in D and it comes out in F. The guitar and mandolin are reading in F and sounding in F.
The banjeaurine is tuned a fourth higher than the rest of the orchestra. So it plays in A fingering which would come out in D like the other banjos were they tuned in the old low tuning. But since they are tuned 3 half steps higher it comes out in F. Everyone's in F. Everyone's happy.
