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] |

presumably had contact with the branch of the Garden family at Delgaty, an
Aberdeenshire estate that had come into the hands of the family.

MISS GARDEN OF TROOP’S
STRATHSPEY.
Scottish, Strathspey. F Major. Standard tuning. AAB. One of many
melodies for the Garden family composed by Robert
Petrie (1767‑1830), a native of Kirkmichael, Perthshire, who was
employed as a gardener at Troup House. He was an excellent fiddler and had a
reputation as a profligate and non‑conformist, but is reputed to have won
either a 'silver bow' or a cup (depending on the story) at a competition at
Edinburgh in 1822. There is no evidence that the prize ever appeared in
Kirkmichael, however. Petrie composed many tunes and published four collections
in his lifetime. Troup House was a mansion in Gamrie parish, Banffshire, near
the coast, built along an Adam design in 1763. The tune appears in Petrie’s A Fourth Collection of Strathspeys, Reels,
Jiggs and Country Dances (Edinburgh, 1805). S. Johnson (A Twenty
Year Anniversary Collection), 2003; pg. 21.

MISS GAYTON'S HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Miss Heaton's
Hornpipe." AKA – “Miss Gaston’s Hornpipe,” “Miss Grayton’s Hornpipe.”
Scottish, English; Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning. AB (Skye): AABB
(Hardings, Hunter, Kerr, Merryweather & Seattle, Sweet). O’Neill prints the
tune as “Sailor’s Hornpipe [3].”
As “Miss Gayton’s Hornpipe” it appears in the music copybook manuscripts of
numerous 19th century English musicians, including George Watson
(Swanton Abbott, Norfolk, 1850-80), Miss Best (c. 1850), John Baty (Bethel,
Northumberland, 1840-60), William Clarke (Feltwell, Norfolk, 1858), James
Haslingden (Midlands?, 1827), Robert Dale Owen (New Lanark, Scotland, 1826),
F.W. Davoll (Staffordshire?), the Carlilse manuscript (Carlilse, Cumbria,
1810), John Moore (Tyneside, 1841) and William Tildsley (Swinton, Lancashire,
c. 1860) [Callaghan, 2007]. Fiddler William Irwin (Langdale, Cumbria) included
it in his 1838 manuscript along with the note: “as played in Carlisle Theatre,”
referring to a venue in the Cumbrian town.
***
Miss Gayton was a dancer and actress
who played a Sylph at Drury Lane as early as 1806. Sir Walter Scott mentions
her (in the Edinburgh Annual Register,
1810) as performing in 1808 in a revival “of our old favourite, Bluebeard.” Miss Gayton appeared in the
role previously played by Madame Parisot. In 1809 she married the Reverend
William Murray, half-brother of Sir James Pulteney, 7th Baronet or
Clermont, Fifeshire, whose title Murray ultimately assumed (Gentleman’s Magazine, May, 1811)..
***
George Gordon Byron—Lord
Byron—mentions Miss Gayton in his lengthy verse called “English Bards and
Scotch Reviewers” (1808), in the lines:
***
While Gayton bounds before th’ enraptured looks
Of hoear marquises and stripling dukes;
***

MISS GORDON--LIVERPOOL. Scottish, Slip Jig. F Major.
Standard tuning. AAB. Composed by William Marshall
(1748-1833). Moyra Cowie, in her book The
Life and Times of William Marshall (1999), finds the Marshall connection
with this Liverpool family through Marshall’s brother Henry, who worked at the
Custom House. Harry Gordon of the Laggan Gordon branch of the family owned the
Tobacco Warehouse in Liverpool, and presumably the title refers to a daughter.

Standard tuning. AAB. Composed by William Marshall
(1748-1833), first appearing in his 1781 collection (pg. 4). Cairnfield was the
site of a house that was demolished in 1802 to make way for a new one which
survives today. The name cairnfield derives from a Pictish cairn that one could
be found on the site (Cowie, 1999). Marshall, Fiddlecase Edition, 1978; 1781 Collection, pg. 4.
