BRAES OF BUSHBIE [2]. AKA - "Braes of Busbie." Scottish, Slow March (4/4 time) or Strathspey. A Dorian (O'Farrell): G Minor (Cole, Hardie): G Dorian (Cranford). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC (Cole, Hardy): AABBCC (O'Farrell): ABABCCD (Howe): AABBCCD (Cranford). In lowland Scots dialect, a brae is a hillside. Busby is a district in Renfrewshire, Scotland. The melody may have been composed by John Bowie, and first appears in his Collection (1789). A note in Nathaniel Gow's Sixth Collection (1822) says that it was favorite of Niel Gow's, and that it is "Old". Reworked as "Dowd's Favorite," the tune is played as a reel and was famously recorded by Sligo/New York City fiddler Michael Coleman. Piper Willie Clancy had a reel time setting of the tune, called "Braes of Busby," in a major tonality.
Source for notated version: Cape Breton strathspey setting is from fiddler Bill Lamey via Jerry Holland (Inverness, Cape Breton) [Cranford]; McFadyen's Repository (1795) [Henderson].
Printed sources: Cole (1000 Fiddle Tunes), 1940; p. 128. Cranford (Jerry Holland's Collection vol. 1), 1995; No. 187, p. 53. Gow (Sixth Collection of Strathspey Reels), 1822; p. 27. Hardie (Caledonian Companion), 1992; p. 85. Henderson (Flowers of Scottish Melody), 1935. Howe (1000 Jigs and Reels), c. 1867; p. 134. McFadyen, Repository of Scots and Irish Airs, vol. 1 (c. 1795). O'Farrell (Pocket Companion, vol. II), c. 1806; p. 140 (appears as "Braes of Busbie"). Ryan's Mammoth Collection, 1883; p. 167 (strathspey setting).
Recorded source: Jerry O'Sullivan - "O'Sullivan meets O'Farrell" (2005).
