Back to Devil or No Devil
DEVIL OR NO DEVIL. AKA - "Devil and no Devil." English, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody first appears in J. Wilson's The Pocket Preceptor for the Fife (London, 1805), followed by J. Hewitt's Fashionable Repertory of Country Dances and Waltzes (New York, 1807-1810, with an alternate title of "Devil in Ireland"). It later appeared in dancing master Thomas Wilson's Companion to the Ball Room (London, 1816). American musician Abel Shattuck (1759-1816, Colrain, Mass.) entered it into his music manuscript copybook, which he began around 1801.
A different, duple-time, tune of the same name was printed by John and Michael Paff in their Four New Country Dances in New York in 1799.
