Back to Caledonian's Rant
CALEDONIAN'S RANT. English, Reel. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears (as "The Calledonans Rant") in the 1770 music manuscript collection of Northumbrian musician William Vickers, about whom unfortunately nothing is known. The melody is different than similarly titled "Calendonian Rants" or "Caledonian Reels" of the period. Anne Gilchrist ["Old Fiddlers' Tune Books of the Georgian Period", JEFDSS, vol. 4, No. 1, Dec. 1940, p. 18] noted that, in her experience, the Rant was a name rather loosely applied of various lively dance-tunes, but properly seemed to her to have belonged to a quick 2/4 time melody.
