-'''CIRCASSIAN CIRCLE, THE'''. English, Scottish, Canadian; Reel or Country Dance. G Major (Kennedy, Raven): D Major (Howe, Jarman): A Major (Kerr, Martin, Sweet). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Jarman's version somewhat different. The Circassian Circle is a country dance; in the Carmichael district of Lanarkshire, Scotland, around the turn of the 20th century (1900) it was always the first dance of the evening. The vehicle for the dance was usually the namesake melody followed by additional tunes at the same tempo, capped by a return to the original "Circassian Circle" melody. Canadians frequently have employed the tune "La Bastringue" to accompany it.
