Back to Royal Albert (1)

ROYAL ALBERT [1]. AKA – “Prince of Wales Contre Dance.” AKA and see “Mignonette (1) (La)," “Sicilian Dance (1)].” Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). The Royal Albert is a Scottish country dance whose figures are described by Flett & Flett (Traditional Dancing in Scotland) for a 40 bar melody. The tune appears as an untitled 64 bar jig in the Sussex Tunebook, with “Royal Albert” in parenthesis. However, it can be found in Wilson's Companion to the Ball Room and in early 19th century fiddler’s manuscripts as “Sicilian Dance.” Still earlier, in the late 18th century, the tune was printed in Edinburgh by fiddler-composer and bandleader Alexander "King" McGlashan as "La Mignonette."
