WEDDING, THE. AKA - "San Rire va Vannich," "'S ann A-raoir a Bha a' Bhanais." Scottish, Strathspey (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The reel appears as "The Wedding" with the (corrected) Gaelic title "'S ann A-raoir a Bha a' Bhanais" (The wedding was last night) in Angus Cumming's collection of 1782. Cumming (c. 1750-c. 1800) was from a long line of Speyside musicians. However, as William Lamb[1] points out, the word strathspey only appears in the title of his collection, and not with any of the tunes themselves; "the tunes were simply all 'Old Highland reels' to him." The boundary between what we think of as reels versus the syncopated strathspey was much more permeable to Cumming.
