Back to Hey to the Camp


HEY TO THE CAMP. AKA and see "Frost is All Over (1) (The)," "Masque (The)," "Praties Are Dug and the Frost is All Over (The)," "What Would You Do if the Kettle Boiled Over?, What Would I Do if the Kettle Boiled Over," "What Would You do if You Married a Soldier?" Scottish, English; Jig (6/8 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune is a version of "The Mask/Masque (The)," published by Playford in his second supplement to the 7th edition of his Dancing Master of 1707 (and again in the 9th edition, 1698), and dating probably to the 1600's (according to Samuel Bayard). It also appears in Hare & Walsh's Compleat Country Dancing Master of both 1718 (vol. 1) and 1731 (vol. 3, No. 221). "Hey to the Camp" appears in English musician's manuscripts as well as in printed volumes. It appears in one of the oldest such manuscript collections, the Henry Atkinson manuscript of 1694-95 (as "Camp Jigg", in much the same form as the Playford printing), and in the manuscript collection of Northumbrian musician William Vickers (1770). The melody has survived as a jig in Irish, Scottish and American traditions. In Scotland it appears in the Oswald's Caledonian Pocke Companion (Book VIII, c. 1755) and in the Gow's Complete Repository (Part 2, 1802). A Pennsylvania version was collected as an untitled cotillion (Bayard, Dance to the Fiddle, 1981; No. 504, p. 460). See note for "Frost is all Over (1)" for discussion.
