Item Description |
Skinner's manuscript note on the background to Tullochgorum (JSS0094, JSS0095). 'Here are the original notes from which Tullochgorum sprang: - "Jackie's Fou (drunk) and Jennie's Fain" -'. The music is a quick sketch of a 16-bar melody in G major, and 2/4 time, 'kindly communicated by Mr A. Troup. Glued onto the page parallel to the edge is 'Note to Tullochgorum. This tune is of great antiquity & this is borne out by Miss Montgomerys request that the Rev. John Skinner should write words to the ancient 'Reel of Tullochgorum - it is known to a few lovers of the strathspey as 'The corn bunting' (inserted) and 'Jockie's fou and Jennie's fain'. See A Guide to Strathspey by Rev. Wm Reid D. D. Edin(burgh) - Angus Stuart, Pub: Granton on Spey.' |
