<p><font face="sans-serif" size="4"> '''BUENA VISTA [2]'''. American, March (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. According to Bayard (1981) this was a song and fife piece (apparently not related to version #1) named probably after a Mexican War battle. Several song titles were attached to the tune, some about Lafayette, but the one that attached its name to this version was published in 1852 and began: <blockquote> ''On Buena Vista's mountain chain,''<br> ''Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!''<br> </blockquote> Bayard finds the tune in a volume called '''The Evening Companion''' under the title "La Fayette's Welcome Quickstep," and as the vehicle for a few old songs, including "Look Out Upon the Stars, My Love" etc. <br> <br> ''Source for notated version'': a manuscript by fifer Thomas Hoge (Greene County, Pa., 1944) [Bayard]. <br> <br> Bayard ('''Dance to the Fiddle'''), 1981; No. 279, p. 233. </font></p> ---- <pre> X:1 T:Buena Vista [2] M:2/4 L:1/8 S:Bayard K:D d|da af|fd dg|f>d e>c|d2 zd|da af|fd dg|f>a a/g/f/e/ d3:| |:d|c>d ee|d>e fd|c>d ee|d>e fd|da af|fd dg|1 f>d e>c|d3:|2 f>d a>c|d3|| </pre> ---- <p><font face="sans-serif" size="4"> '''© 1996-2010 Andrew Kuntz.
