I've just gotten my copy of the Northumbrian Pipers' Third Tune Book,
2nd edition. There's a tune whose title is given as "THE GRAND CHAIN
(Le Grand Chien)." Now, since this is a second edition, I'm assuming
that it wasn't just a typo, so I'm curious about this title. Was it
just translated by somebody who was more interested in daydreaming
about pipe tunes than paying attention during French class, or does the
mistranslation actually have some interesting history behind it? I'm
not meaning to be arch, but I do find this interesting.
