Back to Crieff Fair (2)

CRIEFF FAIR [2]. Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Boston publisher Elias Howe included this tune, not in his section of 'Scotch Melodies', but with his contra-dance tunes, although he labelled it a "Scotch Reel". It carries the same label in Providence, Rhode Island, violinist and dance fiddler George Saunders' 1847 violin tutor, Howe's likely source for the tune.

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: Howe (1000 Jigs and Reels), c. 1867; p. 89. Saunders (New and Complete Instructor for the Violin), Boston, 1847; No. 28, p. 57.
