'''COTILLION [3]'''. American, Cotillion. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The melody appears in the music manuscript collection of William Sidney Mount (1807-1868), painter and fiddler from Long Island. Speculating wildly, I suggest the simple tune may have been one that was brought back to Mount on Long Island by his brother, a dancing master who spent some time teaching in Georgia, and with whom we know William traded tunes. It has an "old-timey" feel to me, not a British Isles one, rather unlike much of Mount's collected pieces.
