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.

RECRUITING OFFICER, THE. AKA – “Miss Williamson of

Officer (1706) is the name of a famous comedy by George Farquhar

occasionally staged today. The air “The Recruiting Officer” was employed in
ballad operas, such as Henry Potter’s The
Decoy (1733). The melody was published by John Young in his 1713 edition of
Playford’s Dancing Master, and again
in Dancing Master editions of 1714, 1718 and 1728. The Walshes,
