BATCHELDER'S (REEL). AKA and see "Atlanta Hornpipe," "Quigley's Reel." American, Canadian; Reel. F Major. Standard tuning. AABB. The tune has sometimes been credited to the fiddler of the title, Alvah Batchelder, but is also associated with Albert Quigly under a title with his name; they were both noted New England fiddlers. It appears in Ryan's Mamouth Collection (1883) and Cole's 1000 (1940) as the "Atlanta Hornpipe." The tune is a popular number among North American contra dance circles and can be found in the Pacific Northwest as well as New England.
Sources for notated versions: Jane McBride with Strathspey [Phillips]; accordion player Laurie Andres (Seattle) [Songer].
