<p><font face="sans-serif" size="4"> '''BOOLONZIE, THE'''. AKA – "The Bolloon," "The Boulounger." Scottish, Quickstep (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A traditional tune published by the Gows. Anne Gilchrist, in her article "Old Fiddlers' Tune Books of the Georgian Period" (''JEFDSS'', vol. 4, No. 1, Dec. 1940, p. 22), writes: "As "The Boulanger" (suggesting perhaps French origin) it is one of the dances performed at the ball in '''Pride and Prejudice''', and with "[[Robin Adair]]" perhaps the only musical items specifically mentioned in any of Jane Austin's novels. For "[[Robin Adair]]" was becoming known about this period as a drawing-room instead of a drinking song." <br> <br> ''Printed sources:'' Aird ('''Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 4'''), 1796; No. 70, p. 29.
