COUNT BROWN'S MARCH. English, Scottish; March. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appears in the Gillespie Manuscript of Perth (1768), but was printed prior to that date in the earliest known fife tutor published by Rutherford in London c. 1756. Subsequently it was often printed in martial music tutors such as Charles and Samuel Thompson's Compleat Tutor for the Fife (London, 1770) and Thomas Skiller's Compleat Instructions for the Fife (London, 1780). In America it was printed in George Willig's Compleat Tutor for the Fife (Philadelphia, 1805), and by M. Holyoke (1800). It occasionally appears in fifers' and fiddlers' manuscripts on both sides of the Atlantic.

Source for notated version: the music manuscript book of Captain George Bush (1753?-1797), a fiddler and officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolution [Keller].

Printed source: Keller (Fiddle Tunes from the American Revolution), 1992; p. 18.
