'''BIRKS OF ABERGELDIE'''. AKA and see "[[Bonnie Lassie Will You Go]]," "[[Cast a Bell]]," "[[De'els Dead (The)]]." AKA - "Berks of Abergelde," "Birks of Aberfeldy." Scottish, Strathspey. D Major (Kerr, Neil): F Major (Athole, Bremner, Gow): G Major (Howe, Jones, Kennedy, O'Farrell). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Howe): AAB (Athole, Gow, Jones, O'Farrell): AABB (Bremner, Kennedy, Kerr, Neil). The usual meaning of the Scots word ''birk'' is of a birch tree, or a small wood of birch trees. In this case, the 'birks of Abergeldie' (or Aberfeldie) is a placename in Perthshire, Scotland. The tune appears in a notebook of six pages of country dances called the '''Holmain Manuscript''' (1710-50) and in Walsh's Third Book of the '''Compleat Country Dancing-Master''' (1735). Somewhat later it appears in Bremner's 1757 collection (p. 35), the '''Caledonian Pocket Companion''' of 1760, and the '''Gillespie Manuscript''' (1768). Neil (1991), however, remarks that the melody first appears in John Playford's '''Dancing Master''' of 1657 under the title "[[Scotch Ayre (A)]]" (it also appears in later editions). It was later republished by Henry Playford in his 1700 collection of Scottish dance tunes under the title "[[Berks of Abergelde (The)]]." As with many fashionable tunes it attracted other titles: London publishers Charles and Samuel Thompson included it in their '''Compleat Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances''', vol. 2 (1765) under the title "[[De'els Dead (The)]];" it was printed by Wright in his '''Compleat Collection of Celebrated Country Dances''' (1740) as both "[[Berks of Abergelde]]" and "[[Cast a Bell]]"; and as "[[Bonnie Lassie Will You Go]]" in the '''Scots Musical Museum''', vol. 2 (1788).
__NOTITLE__
<br>
<br>
Poet Robert Burns set lyrics to the melody inspired while standing under the Falls of Moness on a 1787 Highlands excursion with his friend William Nicol. The classical composer Franz Joseph Haydn fashioned an arrangement of the tune, although Purser (1992) is of the opinion that his effort fails, as do those of other non-Scottish classical composers of the time who try to set Scottish music: "...it seems that they gild lillies with great skill, intrusive harmonies, and foolishly fussy harpsichord accompaniment."

X:1 T:Birks of Aberfelde M:C L:1/8 R:Air B:”Melodist: A Collection of music in two volumes" (1826-1859, No. 61, p. 33) N:The melodist is a musician's ms., probably by a fiddler, that contains both N:tunes and songs from a variety of sources, American and European. The N:inscription on the inside cover reads, "This is from the Bridge family of N:Augusta, Maine (Horatio Bridge, friend of Hawthorne's)". However, entries in N:the ms. were in different hands indicating several contributors. N:The ms. is neat and the notation studied and precise.
