GRAF SPEE, THE. AKA - "Grand Spey (The)," "Grand Spee (The)," "Grand Spy (The)," "French Spy (The)." AKA and see "Grant of Strathspey," "Rothiemurchus Rant," "Rothiemurcus Rant," "Winnie Greene's Favorite," "Winnie Green's Reel," "Western Lasses." Irish, Reel. C Major (Flaherty, O'Neill, Vallely): D Major (Alewine, Black). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC (Flaherty): AABCCD (Black): AABBCCD (Alewine): AABB'CCD (O'Neill): AABCCDDE (Mulvihill, Vallely). Seattle (1987) believes the name to be a curious corruption of the title "Grant of Strathspey" (sometimes "Grant's Strathspey") transformed into the name of the famous World War II German battleship (itself named after a famous German admiral, Maximilian Graf von Spee, born in 1861).
"Rothiemurchus Rant" appears to be the Scottish ancestor of the melody. Flaherty's version is somewhat distanced from O'Neill's. "Western Lasses" is a variant and is more noticeable in the second and third parts of the tune rather than the first (Alan Ng says: "compare 2nd and 3rd parts with the 3rd and 2nd parts, respectively, of The Western Lasses"). Philippe Varlet finds an early recording of the tune on a 78 RPM disc by an American Irish piper named Martin Beirne (who led the Blackbird Orchestra) on which it is called "The Grand Spy" (see note under that title for more on American versions).
