RANDOM NOTES. AKA - "Random Jig." English, Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABC. England, Northumberland. The jig has been attributed (in the Northumbrian Pipers' Tune Book) to the mid-19th century by Gateshead fiddler biography:James Hill, renowned primarily for his hornpipe compositions. However, Graham Dixon suggested "Random" is a miss-hearing or corruption of "Rondeau," a French cotillion, or perhaps vice-versa. The identical tune, as "Rondeau," appears in the Collingwood manuscript (no date) in the Beamish Museum (Northumberland). Whatever its origins, however, it has long been associated with Northumbrian music and piping.
