BONNIE CHARLIE [1]. AKA and see "King of the Fairies (The)," "King William of Orange." Scottish, Scots Measure (4/4 time, "Slowish"). D Minor (Gatherer, Gow, Martin, Songer): E Minor (Aird). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Gatherer, Gow, Martin, Songer): AABB (Aird, Harding). Nigel Gatherer credits the tune to the famous Scots fiddler and composer Niel Gow (1727-1807), born in Inver. Its printing in James Aird's Selection of Scots, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. II (1782), however, predates the Gows' printing by more than 20 years (although still within the mature period of Gow).

Source for notated version: Eileen Witler via Lanny Martin [Songer].
