While reading G.T. Vigne's 'Travels in Kashmir, Ladak, Iskardo ' (1844) I came across a sheet of music in which the English traveler had a recorded a tune which he called 'Kashmirian Dancing Girl's Song'.[More about the song at my Kashmir Blog]
Here's a rough rendition (a mix of two variations) of the old song recreated using a software called SharpEye2 that reads sheet music from images and then converts it to Midi form.The output in not entirely perfect (needs lot of manual editing) but the result is really interesting specially the opening tune that does in fact sound Kashmiri:
And it was the opening note that G.T. Vigne found really intriguing as it reminded him of "Liston's Kitty Clover". I tried searching for this Kitty Clover song but the result didn't show up much.
