Back to Lord Cutt's March

LORD CUTT'S MARCH. English, Country Dance Tune or March (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was published in all four editions of John Young's Second Volume of the Dancing Master [1] (1710-1728), and in rival publishers Walsh and Hare's Second Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master (1719).

Lt. General Lord (John) Cutt [2] (1661-1707) was a military and literary figure who commanded a regiment for King William in his Irish wars of 1690, and a division under Churchill at the Battle of Blenheim. General Hugh Mackay described Cutts in 1687 as "pretty tall, lusty and well shaped, an agreeable companion with abundance of wit, affable and familiar, but too much seized with vanity and self-conceit." See also "My Lord Cutt's Delight/St. Catherine," from Henry Atkinson's 1694/95 music manuscript [3], presumably composed on the same person.
