Kettle Drum is in the 1650 Playford's Dancing Master, for one. Dunno about its actual origins, but that's a collected and published source for it. Best wishes, Richard.

Was the 'Kettle Drum' in the query referring to the D dorian Playford tune, or the G major Scottish polka - in one of Matt's Piper's Pocket Books?

Gentle Maiden is, I believe, an Irish tune. Maureen (or Mavourneen) is the flower of Killarney, and fairest of all to me. The flowers that bloom in Killarney are never as fair as she et cetera.

It was also in the 1982 book published by Jenny Armstrong., but as Hazelwood. Holmes Fancy first appears in Peacock's Tunes, published 1801, as Holme's Fancy, but is a keyless tune so could be much older. My Home comes from our kilted brethren: typing it into google in inverted commas followed by Highland pipe tune gave me more links than I could be bothered to follow.

[NSP] Re: The Golden Eagle
Thanks for the hint, Matt. I went back and found it in Ryan's Mammoth Collection - I'd missed it before. For those that don't know this collection, it was published 'about 1883' in Boston, Mass. The Golden Eagle certainly doesn't sound like it was written too long before that, with all the chromatic bits. But lots of tunes like that were written on both sides of the Atlantic in the mid 19th C.
