Tune properties and standard notation
FORBES MORRISON. Scottish, Strathspey. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Hardie, Hunter): AAB (Martin, Skinner). Composed by J. Scott Skinner, it appears in his Logie Collection. It was included as one of the tunes Skinner used in 1921 concert tours in the romantically entitled set "Spey's Fury's." Forbes Morrison (1833-1906), according to Hunter (1979), was a fiddler and dancing master in Tarves, Aberdeenshire, expert in the use of the Scottish fiddle ornaments of short snap bow and syncopated triplets. Purser (1992) states the tune "gives a good idea of the rhythmic vigour characteristic of the Scotch fiddle style (Skinner) so loved, and which was carried on by fiddlers such as James Dickie and John Murdoch Henderson..."
