LORD BANFF('S STRATHSPEY). Scottish, Strathspey. E Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "Very Slow" says Gow. The melody was composed by one Issac Cooper of Banff (b. 1755, d. 1810/1811 or 1820), a multi-talented musician who taught and published several collections in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Collinson (1966) pronounced it "a good tune," while John Glen (1895) describes it as one of the excellent compositions from this composer. See also the Irish adaptation "Lord Banff's Reel."
