X:5 T:Yankee Doodle M:2/4 L:1/8 S:William Sydney Mount manuscripts. N:The tune appears on a page with a handwritten playing guide for the fife or tin N:whistle, addressed to John B. Mount and dated March 26th, 1861. At the bottom of the N:page he says: “For musical instructions, ask your Father, or , look at his instruction N:book, about time & the characters of the notes & the proportion they bear to each N:other. ‘Howe’s Violin Instructor’ will teach you. If you will apply yourself. I hope you N:will. WSM.” Elias Howe, of Boston, published several instructors and tutors in the N:mid-19th century, as well as a massive collection of tunes called Musician’s Omnibus. N:The ‘A’ part is the part that is now familiar to modern ears, however, the ‘B’ part N:appears to be in a transitional phase from 18th century versions, such as that printed by N:Aird (1782) and the one familiar to us today. Modern versions have dropped the ‘c’ N:natural note, a modal feature, and remain in the major key.
