| Item Description | Manuscript in Skinner's hand, for the Dance Sean Trews [Seann Triubhas], the tune [by] John Bruce. Skinner hasn't given detailed bowing, but tells the player to use '4 bows' to each bar. The printed bass line uses only octave crotchets. Along the right margin he wrote 'The composer died in Dumfries Poorhouse.' Bruce (c. 1720-1785), b. Braemar, Aberdeenshire, d. Dumfries, was a Jacobite soldier, played for dances, and was a 'remarkable Reel Fiddler'. Click on the audio link below to hear Skinner playing it. |
