EDINBURGH QUADRILLE, THE. English. A composite of airs (which included "MacGregor's March (The)"," "Polly Put the Kettle On," and "Annie Laurie") composed by Charles Louis Napoléon d'Albert (1809-1886), who emigrated from France with his mother in 1816. He gained fame as a young man as ballet master at the King’s Theatre and Covent Garden, although he eventually settled in Newcastle-on-Tyne and returned to London only during the latter part of his life. He was enormously popular as a dance teacher and composer of light pieces.
In 1866 during the Canadian gold-rush Robert Burrell grumbled in a letter that the music from Bakerville's Hurdie house across the street was disturbing his sleep. He mentioned four of the songs that were ringing in his ears: "Silver Lakes Varsovianna," "King of the Cannibal Islands," "Sultan Polka" & "Edinburgh Quadrille." d'Albert was also the composer of "Sultan Polka."
