<p><font face="sans-serif" size="4"> '''COURTNEY'S RANDO'''. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The identical tune (as "Courtney's Rondo") also appears in the 1797-1799 music manuscript of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, flute player John Hoff (1776-1818). The tune appears in three parts in the c. 1847 music manuscript collection of Lancashire musician Ellis Knowles under the title "[[Malvina]]." "Courtney's Rondo" was advertised as being played on the Irish pipes "by a gentleman of this city" during an interlude in an 1802 production of '''The Young Quaker''' in Dublin [Greene, '''Theatre in Dublin, 1745-1820, Volume 5: A Calendar of Performances''', 2011, p. 3299]. <br> <br> ''Source for notated version:'' William Litten's music manuscript collection 1802-1804 [Huntington]. William Litten was a ships fiddler with the British fleet in the orient in 1800-02, although little else is known about him. His manuscript was brought to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, by Allen Coffin (b. 1788) of Edgartown, who may possibly have been a shipmate or had other contact with Litten. Or, the ms. may have changed hands several times before it came into Coffin's possession. <br> <br> ''Printed source:'' Huntington ('''William Litten's'''), 1977; p. 34. </font></p> ---- <pre> X:1 T:Courtney's Rando M:2/4 L:1/8 S:William Litten's music ms.
