I believe this is not notable. She is known for one thing: writing one hymn tune. All the references mention her only in this one regard; and she is not even the subject of those references. Nothing here establishes notability. Tb ( talk) 18:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Apparently, the notability guidelines for music say that musicians are notable if they have written a notable piece of music. Crimond is certainly notable, so that means that Irvine is too, so I withdraw the worry. Tb ( talk) 18:10, 8 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Date of Death

I have changed the d.o.d given in the text from 1883 to 1887 (source: register of deaths in Aberdeen Old Machar, September 2nd 1887, Jessie Seymour Irvine, daughter of late Rev Alexander Irvine DD, minister of Crimond). Wyresider ( talk) 08:30, 11 July 2010 (UTC) reply

Portrait by John Irvine?

The entry on Findagrave.com as well as on Discogs both illustrate Jessie Seymour Irvine with this portrait: Mrs Jessie Irvine, née Leisk (1805–1878) (a portrait of the artist's wife). This suggests then that Jessie was married to Lerwick artist John Ivrine (1805 - 1888). I can find no reliable sources to confirm this - is this correct or has the portrait of another Jessie been used in error by these websites? Cnbrb ( talk) 16:21, 3 June 2020 (UTC) reply

Crimond — the Tune

The tune doesn't (currently) have a Wikipedia page of its own, so I'll put this here in the hope that someone might find it interesting. The tune is in 3/4 time and, unusually, consists of two seven-bar phrases. Most congregations expect conventional eight-bar phrases, and some organ accompanists indulge them in this by inserting extra bars; but more commonly, the organ comes in "a bar early", catching the singers out.

Whether this reflects well or badly on its composer is a matter of judgement. Personally, I'd plump for the extra bars, so a thumbs-down for Jessie!
