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.

PRINCE EUGENE'S MARCH. English, Scottish; March. The air appears in many English and Scottish
publications of the 18th century, and it is said to have been one of
the most popular songs of the period. In, fact, it is relatively popular to
this day with fife-and-drum corps and early music ensembles. It appears in a
publication entitled St. Martini, Handel
and Others, Warlike Music, Being a Choice Collection of Marches and Trumpet
Tunes for a German Flute, Violin or Harpsichord, Book I (1760, pg. 1), in
Longman & Broderip’s Entire and
Compleat Instructions for the Fife (London, 1767), and it is included in
the Scottish Gillespie Manuscript of
Perth (1768). Its origins, however, were in a later edition of Playford’s Dancing Master, that of 1713/1714,
followed soon after in Walsh’s Compleat
Country Dancing Master (vol. II, 1719). Scarcely less popular in
