Back to Loch na Gar (1)

LOCH NA GAR [1]. AKA - "Lochnagar." Scottish (originally), Canadian; Air, March, Strathspey, Highland Strathspey or Highland Schottische. Canada, Cape Breton. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Similar to "Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine (1)," said Bayard in his 1944 Hill Country Tunes. In his 1981 work (Dance to the Fiddle) he speculates that this and several other Scottish(?) tunes are "inter-resembled," cognate with one another, or derivative or some ancestral tune, referencing such tunes as "Pewter Mug" (Ford), "Tinware Lass (The)" (Ryan's Mammoth), "Whistling Mike" (O'Neill), "Ladies Dressed in Their Garments So Green (The)" (Joyce), "Dusinberry March" (Bayard), and perhaps "Scotland the Brave." Bayard (1981) also sees his Pennsylvania collected "Star of Bethlehem (The)" as a member of this tune family.
