Back to Howlet and the Weazel (The)
HOWLET AND THE WEAZEL, THE. AKA - "Weazle (2) (The)." English, Jig. England, Northumberland. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A howlet is another name for an owl. Early publications give the title as "The Weazle" (spelled variously), by which it appears in Johnson's Choice Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 5 (London, 1750) and publisher John Hinton's Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure (London, 1750). It can also be found in James Aird's Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 2 (Glasgow, 1785). The jig appears in a few musicians' manuscripts from the late 18th and early 19th centuries: John Fife (Perthshire, c. 1780), Durham (), and H.S.J. Jackson (Wyresdale, Lancashire, 1823). The title was amended to add "Howlet and..." in Hall & Stafford's Charleton Memorial Tune Book.
