This is definitely a tune that has been varried by the passage of time and the different duties it has been put to over a roughly 300 year career. It seems the song "Rodney's Glory" was put to the existing tune of "Princess Royal", and then many instrumental players learned the tune from the singers and went on calling the tune "Rodney's Glory" too. This is the only setting I've found which has those lovely accidental notes (very consistent with the piping tradition, I'd say); the others keep to a consistent minor scale, and those versions are much closer to the song "Rodney's Glory".
Thank you very much! There have been a few songs put to the tune, among them "Bold Nelson's Praise" and "Rodney's Glory". I came across this article when researching the tune which goes much deeper into the details (www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/ROD_ROR.htm). Just scroll down to the heading "Rodney's Glory".
I love that very solid rythm. Congratulations 👏
In fact it's almost identical to Rodney's Glory but that doesn't matter, the fact is that it's beautiful and so is your execution, thank you!
Correction: I listened to both pieces of music again and I have to resize the similarity!
