Back to Percy Brown's Polka
PERCY BROWN'S POLKA. AKA - "My Auntie Jean." English (originally), New England; Polka. C Major (Carlin): G Major (Callaghan). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC. Percy Brown [1] [2] (1903-1980) was an influential melodeon player from Aylsham, Norfolk. The second strain of "Percy Brown's" is employed as the first strain of the Irish polka/song “I'll Tell Me Ma (When I go Home).”
That same strain along with the third strain of "Percy Brown's" were composed by Charles d'Albert (1864-1932) as "King Pippin Polka." d'Albert was a Glasgow-born pianist and composer who was a student of Franz Liszt. The son of a French/Italian father and an English mother, D'Albert never spoke English fluently, and considered himself to be German, and became a naturalized citizen of Germany later in life. He composed 21 operas, a symphony, two piano concerti, and numerous lesser works.
