CAPTURE OF SERINGAPATAM, THE. Scottish, Reel (cut time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC'. This melody appears in William Campbell's 16th Book of Strathspey Reels, Waltz's, and Irish Jiggs (c. 1801, p. 1), although it was not composed by him but rather by biography:Duncan MacIntyre. MacIntyre was a Scotsman resident in London who later moved to India and who probably served as a Master of Ceremonies to the Governor-General's Court, though little else is known of him. He is thought to have died in India. There was a Battle of Seringapatam in 1809, a great victory for the British in honor of which the Honourable East India Company awarded medals for all those who took part--gold for generals, silver for all other officers, bronze for non-commissioned officers and tin for privates (Farwell, 1981). However, MacIntyre's tune commemorates the wikipedia:Siege_of_Seringapatam_(1799)[1] that was the final confrontation of the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War between the British East India Company and the Kingdom of Mysore.
- ↑ Seringapatam is an Englished form of Srirangapatnam, which got its name from the Ranganthaswamy temple consecrated around 984 CE.
