Back to Herr Cline's Celebrated Dance
HERR CLINE'S CELEBRATED DANCE. American, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Herr Cline's Celebrated Dance" was first printed in Philadelphia, Pa., in the early 1830's by music publisher George Willig, and in New York by Edward Riley, as well as other publishers. The title refers to a German rope dancer of some renown, John Cline (?-1886), who first performed in the United States beginning around 1827, and remained a viable stage performer until about the time of the Civil War. The composer of what must have been his theme music is unknown.
The jig was entered into the 1859 music manuscript copybook of American musician M.E. Eames (p. 75). Nothing is known of Eames, although some of the tune (such as this one) suggest Philadelphia connections.
