strathspey Archive: Gypsy Dream (Terpsichore)

Hi all you musicians out there, 

I am struggling to find the sheet music for  "Gypsy Dream" 8x32S.    According to Dance Date the original tune is Terpsichore but I have searched everywhere and cannot find a copy so must appeal to the group for help.

If I recall correctly there's no particular tune specified for Gypsy
Dreams--that's also what DD seems to indicate. If Terry Glasspool didn't
specify this tune, personally I'd rather reserve Birks of Invermay for the
dance of the same name, which is fairly popular in the San Francisco Branch.
I'll look through my music later to see what we've used for Gypsy Dreams
(which also shows up fairly often here). -Steve

The dance description for Gypsy Dreams in "An Itch to Dance" has this
hints to the music:

A smooth strathspey or slow airs, not too heavy on the bass line, with a
playing time between 8:10 and 8:30.
For example: "Birks of Invermay" on Scotttish Dance Music by
Terpsichore, Terpsichore CD or cassette.

Just to be clear...Terpsichore recorded "The Birks of Invermay" with the tunes as listed by Mike, but they did not record these tunes for Gypsy Dreams. Terry Glasspool suggested this recording as an example of the type of strathspey to be used for his dance.
