'BRIDE'S REEL [1], THE. AKA and see "Mrs. Scott Skinner (2)." Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Hunter, Skinner/Harp & Claymore): AABB (Cranford/Fitzgerald). Composed by the Scottish composer and violinist J. Scott Skinner (1842-1927) on the occasion of his wedding, probably with his second wife, Mrs. Gertrude Mary Park, whom he met While staying in Union Grove, Aberdeen. They married in 1899 (six months after his first wife had died in an insane asylum) and settled at Bromwell Cottage, Monikie, Angus. There, Skinner composed some of his best work and devoted much of his time to amateur gardening. About 1909 his wife "resigned" and went back to Rhodesia where she had previously lived.
