Notation Note: The tunes below are recorded in what is called “abc notation.” They can easily be converted to standard musical notation via highlighting with your cursor starting at “X:1” through to the end of the abc’s, then “cutting-and-pasting” the highlighted notation into one of the many abc conversion programs available, or at concertina.net’s incredibly handy “ABC Convert-A-Matic” at

http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html 

 

**Please note that the abc’s in the Fiddler’s Companion work fine in most abc conversion programs. For example, I use abc2win and abcNavigator 2 with no problems whatsoever with direct cut-and-pasting. However, due to an anomaly of the html, pasting the abc’s into the concertina.net converter results in double-spacing. For concertina.net’s conversion program to work you must remove the spaces between all the lines of abc notation after pasting, so that they are single-spaced, with no intervening blank lines. This being done, the F/C abc’s will convert to standard notation nicely. Or, get a copy of abcNavigator 2 – its well worth it.   [AK]

ABERCAIRNY HOUSE [2]. Scottish, Strathspey. C Minor. Standard tuning. AB. The melody appears in Malcolm MacDonald of Dunkeld’s 3rd Collection, dedicated to Miss Drummond of Perth. Regarding Abercairny, a pipe pibroch called “Abercairney’s Salute” was composed by Charles MacArthur in honor of a special event. James Murry (Morey) of Abercairny (a lovely property about four miles from Crief, Perthshire, on the borders of the Highlands) married Lady Christian Montgomery, daughter of the Earl of Eglinton. Lady Christian’s sister, Lady Margaret, married Sir Alexander MacDonald of the Isles. The sisters and their spouses became quite close and visited back and forth, and Abercairny eventually became so fond of the Highland pipes that he extended repeat invitations to his brother-in-law’s piper, MacArthur, who visited him at Abercairny. The pibroch was composed on the completion of Abercairny’s new and spacious dining-room, the occasion of a grand dinner. Murray spoke: “The room and entertainment are not altogether complete; one thing is wanting to render them so, to some of us perhaps—Charles MacArthur, to animate the feast with his presence, and with the stirring notes of his great Pipe.” Scots fiddler-composer composed one of his finest laments for Murray, “Auld Abercairney,” when he died (see both note and tune "Niel Gow's Lamentation for James Moray, Esq., of Abercairny”). MacDonald (A Third Collection of Strathspey Reels), c. 1792; pgs. 4-5. Stewart-Robertson (The Athole Collection), 1884; pg. 272.

ABERDEEN HUNT. Scottish, Strathspey. G Dorian. Standard tuning. AAB. The Aberdeen Hunt was one of the numerous aristocratic hunt clubs in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries which patronized musicians (who, if they were astute, composed tunes in their honor) for their balls and gatherings. The name Aberdeen comes from the Brittonic prefix ‘Aber-‘, meaning ‘mouth’, coupled with a river name, Don, for a word meaning ‘mouth of the Don’, over time becoming Aberdeen (Matthews, 1972). Aberdeen was a Pictish village in the 4th century and expanded in the 6th century around the church of St. Machar. Old Aberdeen was made a royal burgh in 1154 by the Scottish king David I.

ABERDEIN'S CURRANT. Scottish.  The title likely refers to the dance currant, named for Aberdeen. The name Aberdeen is multi-cultural in origin, with the Brittonic prefix ‘Aber-‘, meaning ‘mouth’, coupled with a river name, Don, for a word meaning ‘mouth of the Don’, over time becoming Aberdeen (Matthews, 1972). The tune was composed by James Lauder in 1584.

                       

ABERGELDIE BRIDGE. Canadian, Hornpipe. Canada, Cape Breton. B Flat Major. Standard tuning. AB. The Brittonic prefix ‘Aber-‘ means ‘mouth’, and was attached to names of rivers. Composed by Cape Breton fiddler and composer Dan R. MacDonald (1911-1976). Cameron (Trip to Windsor), 1994; pg. 68.

                       

ABERGELDIE CASTLE [1]. Scottish, Reel. A Major. Standard tuning (or ADae, a la Allie Bennett). AABB. Composed by Alexander Walker. The Brittonic prefix ‘Aber-‘ means ‘mouth’, and was attached to names of rivers. Walker (A Collection of Strathspeys, Reels, Marches, &c.), 1866; No. 16, pg. 6. Allie Bennett – “Its About Time” (2004).

 

ABERGELDIE CASTLE [2]. Canadian, Slow Strathspey. Canada, Cape Breton. C Minor. Standard tuning. AB. Composed by Cape Breton fiddler and composer Dan R. MacDonald (1911-1976). Cameron (Trip to Windsor), 1994; pg. 19.

                       

ABERGENNY. English, Welsh; Country Dance Tune (2/2 time). G Minor. Standard tuning. AB (Mellor): AABB (Barnes, Raven). The Welsh or Brittonic prefix ‘Aber-‘ means ‘mouth’, and was attached to names of rivers. Thus Abergenny means the ‘mouth of the Genny,’ but probably refers to Abergavenny in Monmouth according to Kidson, “which is sufficiently Welsh county in manner and customs to be musically included.” Kidson also points out the tune bears a strong resemblance to “Cold and Raw.” The tune appears in the 1665 and later editions of Playford’s Dancing Master. Barnes (English Country Dance Tunes), 1986. Mellor (Welsh Dance Tunes), 1935; pg. Raven (English Country Dance Tunes), 1984; pg. 18.

                       

ABERLOUR'S SQUEEZE. Scottish, Strathspey. C Major. Standard tuning. AAB (Marshall, Skye): AABB' (Kerr). Composed by William  Marshall (1748-1833). The town of Aberlour is a town founded in 1812 by Charles Grant of Wester Elchies, located at the mouth of the Lour Burn (the prefix ‘aber’ is a Brittonic word meaning ‘mouth’), a tributary of the River Spey. Today it is the site of the Walker Shortbread Factory, in an area known for whisky and tourism. Kerr (Merry Melodies), Vol. 2; No. 104, pg. 13. Marshall, Fiddlecase Edition, 1978; 1822 Collection, pg. 44. MacDonald (The Skye Collection), 1887; pg. 118. Stewart-Robertson (The Athole Collection), 1884; pg. 82.

ABE'S RETREAT. AKA and see "The Battle of Bull Run," "Manassas Junction." Old‑Time, Breakdown. USA, W.Va. A Mixolydian. Standard, AEae or GDgd (Harvey Sampson) tunings. AABB. The alternate title makes it clear that the Abe referred to is Abraham Lincoln, who, as President, was Commander in Chief of the Union army which met a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Bull Run (or, in the South, the Battle of 1st Manassas), Virginia, July 21st, 1861. The tune was in the repertoire of Wilson Douglas (1922-1999), a fiddler from Clay County, West Virginia. Another famous West Virginia fiddler, Burl Hammons, plays a similar tune, according to Bill Hicks (1975), and remembers a song connected with the tune having to do with Noah's Ark, with the refrain "forty days and forty nights." Sources for notated versions: collected in the 1950's from W.Va. fiddler Emory Bailey (Calhoun County, W.Va.) by Dr. Malvin Artley of Elon College, N.C., via the Red Clay Ramblers (N.C.)

Of the Irish song I retain only a few fragments, which are not

worth preserving. Perhaps the reader will be better pleased if

I give instead a song of my brother’s, composed to suit the air.

The title means the highest quality of performance on the Uillean pipes, and the tune was considered “the perfection of music when well played on the bag-pipes, and its correct performance was believed to be a sufficient test of the instrumental skill of a piper” {Joyce).

In Marshall’s time the farm was occupied by a friend, William Grant, a tenant farmer. Incidently, Achorachan was also the site of an illicit whisky still, says Cowie, one of many in the area and an important economic factor in the sustenance of the small farms of the time.

ACORN HILL (BREAKDOWN). Old‑Time, Bluegrass; Breakdown. D Major. Standard tuning. AB. Composed by fiddler Tommy Jackson, named for the town his wife's family came from. The tune appears to be a variant of "Soppin' the Gravy [1]." Source for notated version: Cathy Cisco [Silberberg]. Silberberg (Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern), 2002; pg.1.

ACORN STOMP. Old‑Time, Country Ragtime. F Major. Standard tuning. ABCD (Silberberg): ABBCCDD (Phillips). This two-tune medley has been attributed to East Texas Serenaders' fiddler Huggins Williams in the early 20th century, recorded in Dallas, Texas, on October 25th, 1928. However, variants of the 2nd melody were earlier printed as “Essence of Sugar Cane” in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883), and also as “Darky’s Dream.” See also the Irish barndance derivative “Offally Favorite.” Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Music), vol. 2, 1995; pg. 13.

ACROBAT, THE. See "Acrobat's Hornpipe [1]."

 

ACROBAT'S HORNPIPE [1]. AKA ‑ "Acrobat's Clog," "The Nightingale." American, Irish; Hornpipe. B Flat Major ('A' part) & F Major ('B' part). Standard tuning. AABB (Cole, McNulty, Mulvihill): AA’BB (Cranford). This tune was called "The Nightengale" until P.T. Barnum began using an adapted version as a theme for his circus acrobats. The attribution "As performed by G.L.Tracy" appears in Ryan’s/Cole’s. George Lowell Tracy (1855-1921) was a young man who later composed light opera and composition books, according to musicologist Charles Wolfe. Evidently Tracy arranged music as well, for one publication from the 1880’s indicates a Sir Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame) work was arranged by him. "Can be used as a Clog" (Cole). Perhaps the earliest recording is from 1905 by violinist Charles D’Alamaine, born in 1871 in England, who died in 1943. D’Alamaine immigrated to the United States in 1888, and by 1890 had established himself as “instructor on violin” in Evanston, Illinois; by 1910 he had removed to Yonkers, and in 1920 was a chiropractor in New York City (info. from Paul Gifford). Source for notated version: Winston Fitzgerald (Cape Breton) [Cranford]. Cole (1000 Fiddle Tunes), 1940; pg. 97. Cranford (Winston Fitzgerald), 1997; pg. 4. McNulty (Dance Music of Ireland), 1965; pg. 23. Mulvihill (1st Collection), 1986; No. 35, pg. 99 (appears as “The Acrobat”). Ryan’s Mammoth Collection, 1883; pg. 133.

According to Bruce Greene, the title “Across the Plains” was more common among fiddlers in the western part of Kentucky, while the alternate title “Old Red Rooster” was more common in the south-central part of the state. Greene notes the similarity of the tune with the better known “Fort Smith [1].” See also related melodies “Grey Cat on a Tennessee Farm” and “Big-Footed Man in the Sandy Lot.” Source for notated version: field recorded in 1974 by Bruce Greene from the playing of W.L. “Jake” Phelps (Elkton, Todd County, Ky.)
