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.

IN JANUARY LAST. English, Scottish; Air (4/4 time). E Major. Standard tuning. AB. The
song appears in John Playford's Choice Ayres
(ii. 46, 1679), Wit and Drollery (1682),
Pills to Purge Melancholy (vol. i,
all editions), and Apollo's Banquet
(No. 55, 1687), in which latter volume it appears as an air simply called “A
Scotch Tune.” It also appears in Thomas D'Urfey's play The Fond Husband, or The Plotting Sisters (1676). The tune was also
the vehicle for other songs such as "The Scotch Wedding; or, A short and
pretty way of wooing" and "The New‑married Scotch couple; or,
The Loving Lasse's Lamentation," and "Northern Nanny; or, The Loving
Lasse's Lamentation." John Glen (Early
Scottish Melodies, 1900) finds that Allan Ramsay included “In January Last”
in his Tea Table Miscellany (vol. ii)
as “a song to be sung to its own tune.” Thomson later printed it in Orpheus Caledonious (ii 42, 1733) but
under the title “The Glancing of her Apron” (from another line in the song).

IN THE STYLE OF AN OPERA DANCE. Scottish, Jig. D Major. Standard
tuning. AABBCCDD. Composed by Mr. Nisbet of Dirleton. This is perhaps
William, (1747-1822), an East Lothian
landowner and army officer, who married Mary Manners, daughter of Lord
Robert Manners, and grand-daughter of the Duke of Rutland. Their only child and
daughter was Mary Nisbet (b. 1778) of Dirleton, Countess of Elgin. In 1784
William acceded to the barony of Dirleton upon the death of his father, also
William. The Nisbets were
hugely wealthy, and at her birth Mary became one of the richest heiresses in
the world. The family seat was the manor of Archerfield, in Dirleton, some
eighteen miles east of Edinburgh. Father William was an amateur musician who
was a member of the Edinburgh Musical Society for much of his life. See the
note for “Tail Tod(d)le” for more on Nisbet.

The battle commenced with the King and a gathered assemblage as witnesses (there was even a grandstand built). Swords, maces and axes were wielded skillfully by both sides, but eventually Clan MacPherson whittled away the Davidson numbers, not the least by the efforts of the hired blacksmith, Wynd. Finally, a lone Davidson was left to face a score of MacPhersons, and legend has it that rather than face certain death he jumped into the Tay to try to swim to safety on the other side—it is not known whether he survived. The MacPhersons thus carried the day and ever after were placed in the right side of Clan Chatten engagements. Wynd, who survived almost unscathed, was adopted by the MacPherson clan as one of their own. Today the North Inch of Perth is the location of a public park. Bremner (Scots Reels), 1757; pg. 69.

ATE/EAT THE WOODCHUCK. Old‑Time, Breakdown. USA;

AABCC (Titon). Jeff Titon (2001) gives its provenance as eastern Kentucky and
explains the confusion of titles between the substitution of ‘eat’ and ‘ate’
and ‘woodchuck’, ‘woodpecker’, ‘woodcock’ and ‘woodhen’. The melody was in the
repertoire of Kentucky fiddlers John Salyer (1882-1952), Estill Bingham
(1899-1990), Owen “Snake” Chapman, and bluegrass fiddler Kenny Baker (who
called it “Indian Killed a Woodcock”). Baker’s tune is similar to the tune J.P.
Fraley of Rush, Kentucky, plays idiosyncratically called, “Sail Away Ladies [2]” (not the
tune usually known by that title, and one he obtained from Ed Haley
(1883-1951), who did call it by the “Indian” title). Titon seems to think that
the Baker/Fraley tune is distanced from the Haley and Salyer versions, however,
and he points out that “Indian Ate the Woodchuck” (and variants) is something
of a floating title, noting the similarity, for example to the unrelated
“Indian and the Woodhen.” Salyer’s version is a two-part one that is not as
“busy” or ‘notey’ as Haley’s tune. The title appears in a list of traditional
Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph,
published in 1954. African-American fiddler Frank Patterson recorded the tune
under the title “Indian and the Woodchuck” for the Library of Congress around
1942. Sources for notated versions: John Salyer (Salyersville, Magoffin County,
Ky.) [Phillips]; Ed Haley (Ashland, Boyd County, Ky.) [Titon]. Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Tunes), vol.

Robert Howard, music by English composer Henry Purcell, staged in 1694. It was
first produced as a play in 1664, but revived and expanded with additional
songs and incidental music by Purcell. It is not known if the melody Playford
published was used in the opera. The title refers to one of the main characters
of the play, the Aztec queen Zempoalla, and the play is set in the courts of
Mexico and Peru. Barnes (English Country

SQUAW [1]. AKA - "Indian Girl." Old‑Time,

Greene’s version is a simplified version of Ed Haley’s “Indian
Squaw,” and Greene may have learned it directly from him. There is some
discrepancy: Titon believes Greene’s piece is a version of Haley’s “Indian
Squaw” tune, while John Hartford and Mark Wilson independently write that it is
more similar to Haley’s “Indian Nation.” This
opinion may also be the result of listening to two different field recordings
of Greene playing the tune—Wilson himself recorded Greene for Rounder 0376,
while Titon’s version was notated from Chris Delaney’s 1973 field recording. It
was a showcase piece for Haley (born in Hart’s Creek, W.Va, lived near Ashland,
Ky.), who was the only fiddler to record the ‘C’ part, probably original with
him. Sources for notated versions: Alva Greene (Sandy Hook, Elliot County, Ky.,
1973) [Titon]; Ed Haley (Ashland, Boyd County, Ky., 1946) [Titon]. Titon (Old-Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes), 2001;

tuning. AB. Some similarities to Alva Greene’s version, although Stamper’s
apparently was derived from a song. Stamper whistled to the ‘B’ part of the
tune, and sang to the ‘A’ part:
***
Way down yonder on the Arkansas,
Two old Indians and one old squaw,
Sitting on the banks of the Arkansas.
***
Jeff Titon (2001) finds nearly the
same lyric in a song called “The Bank of the Arkansas” printed in Lomax and
Lomax’s Our Singing Country (1941,
pgs. 68-69), although Titon says tune that appears with that song is the same
as that of Clyde Davenport’s “Cornstalk Fiddle and a Shoestring Bow.” Source

INDIAN
(WAR) WHOOP [1]. Old‑Time, Breakdown. USA; Arkansas,
Mississippi. David Freeman (1975) relates that this was fiddler Hoyt Ming's (of
Lee County, Mississippi) most requested tune and was a novelty piece. A drawn‑out
note on the fiddle simulated the war whoop of and Indian, which was then
carried on by Ming's voice. In performance Ming would put the fiddle on his lap
during this vocal part, and "sometimes went so far as to actually put the
fiddle in its case for added effect. Hoyt tells of an occasion when one curious
spectator was so mystified by this musical sleight‑of‑hand that he
grabbed the fiddle out of the case and took the instrument off to a corner to inspect it closely, thereby bringing that
evening's rendition of 'Indian War Whoop' to an abrupt end." This is
confirmed by Hoyt B. Ming, Hoyt Ming’s son, who also remembered that it was the
tune his father was most famous for. The younger Ming said: “My father learned
this tune from a cousin, fiddler Pearl Burdine, and in the early years Dad
would play the tune and mimic the fiddle as he put it back in the case. To
many, it seemed the fiddle was still playing. Once a person stopped me on the
street in my hometown and asked me how my dad’s fiddle continued to play while
he rosined the bow. The performance would draw good applause” (Old Time
Herald, Spring 2001; vol.7, No. 7, pg. 3).
Harry Smith (1952) notes that Ming's Pepsteppers' drumming of feet on
the recording is a performance more common in religious music. He writes: “The
effect of pre-Columbian America on contemporary music has been chiefly to act
as a catalyst between European and African musical elements. It is doubtful if
this recording beards much real relation to Indian music; it is, rather,
romanticism akin to that of ‘Western’ movies.” The melody is frequently cited
as an "Ozark tune." One “Indian War Whoop” was recorded on a 78 RPM

INKLE AND YARICO [1]. AKA and see "Come

Reel. C Major. Standard tuning. AABB. Inkle and Yarico is an 18th
century opera that tells the story, first mentioned in Richard Ligon’s The True and Exact History of the
island of Barbadoes (1657) of an Amerindian slave girl called Yarico, whom
he met at Kendal Plantation. Yarico had saved the life of an English merchant
who had been abandoned in her country by a shore party from his ship, following
an attack by Amerindian warriors. She looked after him for some months and they
fell in love. When another boat arrived he saw an opportunity to continue his
journey to Barbados, and persuaded Yarico to come with him. During the voyage
he had a change of heart and on arrival in Bridgetown sold her as a slave. To
quote Ligon "And so poor Yarico for love, lost her liberty". Harding’s All Round Collection, 1905; No. 110, pg. 35.
INCLE AND YARICO [2]. AKA and see “Suckey’s Delight.”

INMAN LINE. American, Reel. A Major. Standard. AABB. Composed by H. F. Williams.
The Inman line was a highly competitive steamship transatlantic line in the the
second half of the 19th century, founded originally as the Liverpool
and Philadelphia Steam Ship Company in 1850. In 1878 the line made 68 voyages,
landing 44, 100 passengers, more than any of its rivals. Although the line was
eclipsed in the next decade by the White Star and the Cunard operations, the
Inman maintained good passenger loyalty. Perhaps the earliest recording is from
1913 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). Cole (1000 Fiddle

INVERARY CASTLE (Caisteal Inbher-aora). Scottish, Strathspey. E
Minor (Skye): F Sharp Minor (Fraser, Skinner). Standard tuning. AB. Inverary
Castle is the seat of the Dukes of Argyll. In his notes for the tune Captain
Simon Fraser states: "Inverary Castle, and Argyllshire in general, is a part
of the country the editor has not much frequented; but this air celebrates the
splendour of that edifice, and the magnificence, tempered with benevolence and
condescension, therein supported by the late Duke.” Composition of the melody
was attributed to Fraser in Lowe's collections, though Fraser himself never
indicated this was so in his writings. Inverary Castle originally dated around
1520, although a ‘new castle’ was built alongside it by Morris and Mylne, who
drew up plans in the early 1700’s. It was completed in 1770 and the old castle
torn down. It was the 5th Duke, who when Marquis of Lorne,
modernized it and completed its decoration. Today it ranks as a spectacular
early example of neo-gothic building in Britain. Castle Inverary is said to be
haunted by a ghostly harper, the murdered victim of the troops of the Duke of
Montrose in pursuit of Campbell enemies. Like the Irish banshee, this
dark-tartaned ghost appears most often to women visitors, often in the Blue
Room of the castle, and his music sometimes presages the death of one of the
Dukes or Argyll or sounds on the occasion of their funerals (Sanger &
Kinnaird, Tree of Strings, 1992).

INVERCAULLD'S/INVERCAULD'S
REEL. AKA and see "O Tibby I hae seen the day."
Scottish, Strathspey. D Major. Standard tuning. AAB. Invercauld House, a
baronial mansion in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, built on the site of an older
castle, is the seat of Clan Farquharson. Musically, the tune is pentatonic or
hexatonic, except for grace notes. There is a well-known strathspey dance by
the name Invercauld’s Reel, and the title of both dance and tune remains,
despite the fact that it is a strathspey. John Glen (1891) finds two tunes by
the name "Invercauld's Strathspey" first published in one of
Edinburgh music publisher Neil Stewart's
collections of the later 18th century (c. 1761). The title also appears in the Drummond
Castle Manuscript, 1734, inscribed "A Collection of the best Highland
Reels written by David Young, W.M. & Accomptant". Glen also finds the
earliest printing of this tune in Bremner's
1768 2nd collection (pg. 107), and it also appears in the Gillespie Manuscript of Perth (1768). Alburger (Scottish Fiddlers
and Their Music), 1983; Ex. 38, pgs. 60‑61.

INVEREY'S RANT. Scottish, Rant. A Mixolydian. Standard tuning. AAB. Inverey is a hamlet
in Crathie Parish, Aberdeenshire, situated south of the River Dee and stradling
the Ey Burn near the confluence with the larger stream. It is also the location
of Inverey Castle (seat of the Earls of Mar) and the baronial manor of
Invercauld House, seat of Clan Farquharson. Perhaps her most famous son was
“The Black Colonel”, John Farquharson of Inverery, who fought in the battles of
Bothwell Bridge and Killiecrankie, and who was outlawed for the murder of a
Ballater laird (c.f. the song “The Ballater”). The love of his life was Annie
Ban, Fair Haired Annie, who predeceased him. Before he too passed on, he
instructed that he be buried at Inveray beside Annie, but instead he was buried
at Braemar. The next morning his coffin was found on the ground outside of his
grave, and it was reburied. This happened two more times, until the coffin was
removed to Inverary for re-buriel, according to his wishes, upon which the
inexplicable incidents ceased. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest printing of
this tune in Daniel Dow's Thirty Seven New Reels and Strathspeys (

Vide Terraquea, of Modern Geography, by the Reverend J. Gordon, Ireland"
(Fraser). The end of the 'A' part features a circle of 5ths chord progression.
Paul Stewart Cranford (1995) suggests that Simon Fraser may have composed this
particular tune, or at least many more than he claimed in his collection, due
to the expectation that the Highland Society of Scotland may have expected a
high percentage of ‘traditional’ pieces for the work to be endorsed. The
name Inverness means ‘mouth of the river Ness’. Ness was the name of a
legendary Irish queen, mother of Conchubar, who is supposed to have ruled in
Ulster at the time of Christ (though the river name may be older). Cranford (Jerry Holland’s), 1995; No. 154, pg. 44. Fraser (The Airs and Melodies Peculiar to the

INVERSHIRE [1]. Scottish, Strathspey. B Flat Major. Standard tuning. AB. Composed by William Marshall (1748-1833). Invershie was home to the
MacPherson family who lived at Cluny Castle, relations to the famous outlaw
James MacPherson (see note for “MacPherson’s Farewell”). Supporters of Bonnie
Prince Charlie during the rebellion of 1745, they had their castle burned to
the ground after Culloden, and MacPherson of Cluny had a price of £1,000 placed
on his head, a huge sum for the times.
Nevertheless, he eluded capture for nine years, living in various hiding
places although particularly at Craig Dhu. He and his wife later successfully
escaped to France. Cluny Castle was later rebuilt in the style of a manor
house. See also note for “Lady Mary Primrose’s
Favorite.” Marshall, Fiddlecase
