Let's see: Dungarthill (pipe march) Stranahavie (Strathspey) The Doo's Nest (reel) Fungarth Knowes (hornpipe) Nellie Jackson (jig) The Hatton Braes (Strathspey) The Rocking Stone (jig) The Deil's Lochie (march) Jamie Wood (Strathspey) Inver Woods (Scotch measure) Birkenburn (reel) Greystone Park (Strathspey) Rodach Mhor (reel) Inchmagranachan (Strathspey) Loch Ordie (reel) Another reason I think they're 20th century is that I don't believe fiddlers of the early 19th C composed pipe marches. I'm thinking of re-publishing the collection, but it would be nice to find out as much as I could beforehand. A trip to Perth library is in order, I think. Here's another tune which goes well with "Loch Ordie": X:212 T:Inchmagranachan C:James MacIntosh, Dunkeld B:A Collection of Reels, Strathspeys, etc (1930) Z:Nigel Gatherer R:Strathspey M:4/4 L:1/8 K:Gm D|Gd g>agd|f>gfc AA|Gd g>bag|f>dc>A Bagd g>agd|f>dc>B Ad|g>agd g>bag|f>dc>A Bd| g>agd g/^f/g/a/ ba/g/|fadf AA|(3BAG (3AG^F (3GBd (3gab|\ (3fdc (3cBA BGG|] -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Scottish Music Pages: http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/scottish/index.html Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

However, I'm pretty sure that the book I've got is a first edition from 1930, and I suspect that my James Macintosh was from the 20th century. I haven't any evidence for this, mind.

Re: [scots-l] James MacIntosh, Dunkeld
Nigel, Here is an excerpt from a book I have called, "The Scots Fiddle- tunes, tales,& traditions of the North-East & Central Highlands", written by J. Murray Neil. James Macintosh The celebrated Macintosh family of Inver produced no less than 6 fiddler's of note, during 3 generations. Three were called Charles. The remaining 3 were; James Macintosh, senior, 1791-1879, his sister May, and Donald. James was the second generation of the family. His father who came from a glen in atholl, was a contemporary, neighbor, and friend of Niel Gow. He played in Niel's band, along with Peter Murray, another lifelong friend of Gow. Like his brother Charles Macintosh, he received tuition on the fiddle from Niel Gow. He started life as a joiner, but gave it up when he was invited to join Niel's sons in Edinburgh, to play in their celebrated string band called the Reel players of Scotland. Which consisted of up to 20 players, and which was engaged to play at functions up and down the length of the country. He built up fine reputation as a music teacher in Edinburgh and also composed a number of tunes which were published in Joseph Lowe's Royal collection of Reels, Strathspeys, Jigs etc. circa 1840 Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

[scots-l] James MacIntosh, Dunkeld
I have a small book entitled 'A Collection of Reels Strathspeys Marches etc for Violin' consisting of eight pages, 15 tunes composed by James MacIntosh of Dunkeld. It was printed in 1930 by Paterson Sons & Co of Perth (price 1/-). I wondered if by any chance anyone has heard of the composer and knew anything about him? Below is one of the tunes in the book: X:208 T:Loch Ordie C:James MacIntosh, Dunkeld B:A Collection of Reels, Strathspeys, etc (1930) Z:Nigel Gatherer R:reel M:4/4 L:1/8 K:Gm D|DGG^F G2 Bc|d2 cB AFFA|DGG^F GBdg|fdcA BGG:|] d|g2 dg bgdg|f2 cf afcf|g2 dg bgdg|fdcA dGGd| g2 dg bgdg|f2 cf afcf|gbag fgdg|fdcA BG G|] -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
