DUKE OF GLOUCESTER'S MARCH [2], THE. English, March (4/4 time). England, North-West. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The "Duke of Glocester's March [2]" appears to have been 'the' popular march in Britain around the year 1770, when it appears in at least four collections (mostly tutors for wind instruments): Thomas Bennett's Compleat Tutor for the Fife, Captain Robert Hinde's Collection of Quick Marches (published by Charles and Samuel Thompson, 1770), the Thompson's Compleat Tutor for the Fife (1760 & 1770), and Longman Lukey Co.'s New and Complete Instructions for the Oboe or Hoboy (1770). The march appears in a number of period musicians' manuscript collections both in England and America (for which see EASMES [1], including the music manuscript begun by William Clark of Lincoln in 1770 (probably entered at a later time, as the tune is in a different hand), the John Buttery music manuscript (early 19th century), and the John Sutherland music manuscript collection. Buttery was a fifer with the 37th Regiment (North Hampshire), while Sutherland was an early 18th century Highland bagpiper and Scottish smallpiper from Aberdeenshire, whose manuscript also appears to include settings for flute and/or fiddle.
