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] |

Granby led one of the great cavalry charges of British history on July 31, 1760 at Warburg, where, "with his wig off and his bald head glistening in the sunshine, he led 22 squadrons against the French, first driving their horse form the field and then routing their infantry" (Winstock, 1970; pg. 55). He was also a hero of the French and Indian War in the American Colonies (and thus this tune appears in a number of late 18th century American music manuscripts and publications). The Marquis was made commander-in-chief of the the British Army in 1766 but was the subject of bitter political attacks and, in declining health, he resigned in 1770 and gave up most of his public offices. He died in debt.

The tune
was issued on broadsides soon after his success at Warburg, and was regularly
played in the British army by the time of the Revolutionary War. The Thompson

The title
Marquis (sometimes appearing as Marquess) of Huntly (in Aberdeenshire) was the
secondary title of the Dukes of Gordon and was normally given to an eldest son,
and although the Gordons were a Scottish clan Huntly itself is in

Doctor Beattie describes him as “the best and
most beautiful boy that ever was
born.” He proved to be one of the most popular
of the young nobility of that period.
Doctor Beattie strongly advised the duchess to
engage an English tutor, a clergyman,
for him, recommended either by the Archbishop of

Fifteen years appear to have elapsed before the
birth of a second son, Alexander. Both
These scions of this ducal house became
military men: the young Marquis was colonel
of the Scots Fusileer Guards, and served in the
Peninsular war, and was eventually
Governor of
many an old soldier, as a gallant, courteous, gay-hearted man; with some of
the faults
and all the virtues of the military character.
He married late in life
of Alexander Brodie, Esq. of Arnhall, N. B., who survived him.

George Gordon, Marquis of Huntly, later the 5th
Duke of Gordon
***
Another view
of the Marquis was afforded by Elizabeth Grant of Rothiemurchas, who wrote of
he and his wife at the time of their wedding:
***
Lord Huntly now in the decline of his rackety life, overwhelmed with
debts,
sated with pleasure, tired of fashion, the last heir male of the Gordon
line. His
bride was young, and good, and rich but neither clever nor handsome. She
made him very happy and paid his most pressing debts, that is her father
did,
old Mr. Brodie of the Burn, brother to Brodie of Brodie…He mad a really
large fortune; he gave his daughter, his only child, £100,000 down, and
left
her more than another at his death. Really, to her husband her large
fortune
was the least part of her value: she possessed upright principles, good
sense,
and she turned out a first rate woman of business.
***
“The
Maruqis of Huntley’s Strathspey” was composed by William
Marshall (1748-1823), it being of the first tunes he was supposed to have
written.

Milne (1824-1908), appearing in his Selection

and so immersed in his art that he once said, "I was that fond o' my
fiddle, I could sit inside it and look oot." This tune, which is considered among
those of Milne’s better compositions, is frequently preceded in a set by another Milne composition, “The Marchioness
of Huntly—Aboyne Castle [3].” Sources for notated versions: Peter Chaisson,

MARQUIS OF HUNTLY'S SNUFF MILL, THE. AKA and see "Miss Dallas('s

Scottish, "Very slow" Strathspey. F Major. Standard tuning. AB
(Hardie): AAB (Alburger, Athole, Gow). Published and claimed by Niel Gow in his
Fourth Collection of 1800, however,
the tune is actually a composition of William Marshall's
called "Miss Dallas's Reel" (published in his First Collection, 1781) presented in a different key with a few
notes altered. The problem is charitably thought by some to be not one of
outright plagiarism, but perhaps arises from the fact that many of both Gow's
and Marshall's tunes were in general circulation long before they were
published by them. Alburger (Scottish
Fiddlers and Their Music), 1983; Ex. 68, pg. 106. Carlin (The Gow Collection), 1986; No. 134. Gow

MARQUIS
OF LORNE [1], THE. Scottish, English; Hornpipe. G
Major. Standard tuning. AABB (Kennedy, Miller & Perron, Raven): AB
(Honeyman, Martin). The Marquis of Lorne is the heir to the Dukedom of Argyll.
The title of this particular piece may refer to the Marquis of Lorne, son of
the Duke or Argyll, who married the Princess Louise in 1871. Louise was the 4th
daughter of Queen Victoria, the reigning English monarch, and the wedding
caused a stir as it was unheard of for the daughter of a sovereign to marry a
subject of the realm. Lorne was sworn in
as the first Governor-General of Canada in 1878.
