'''BUNKER HILL [1]'''. AKA and see "[[Dead March]]," "[[A Drag]]," "[[Harrison City]]." American, Quickstep (2/4 time). Southwestern Pa. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Bayard (1981) identifies this tune as adapted from a work of classical music, namely von Weber's "[[Huntsman's Chorus]]" from the third act of his opera Der Freishutz. The tune entered folk tradition, and kept the title "Huntsman's/Huntsmen's/Hunter's Chorus" in England. It was well-known as a martial tune by Pennsylvania fifers who at some point named it after the Revolutionary War battle, and its operatic origins and name were forgotten.
