Back to Duchess of Hamilton's Rant


DUCHESS OF HAMILTON'S RANT. English, Jig. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appears in a music manuscript from the village of Ashover, Derbyshire, dated 1762. See note for "Miss Gunning's Reel" for more on the Duchess of Hamilton. It had been published earlier, however, in David Rutherford's Choice Collection of Sixty of the Most Celebrated Country Dances (London, 1750, p. 56), the same notes with a key signature of two sharps instead of the three in the Ashover ms. Rutherford included it again ten years later in his Compleat Collection of 200 Country Dances, vol.2 (London, 1760, p. 35), this time with a key signature in three sharps.
