BOOLONZIE, THE. AKA – "The Bolloon," "The Boulounger." Scottish, Quickstep (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A traditional tune published by the Gows. Anne Gilchrist, in her article "Old Fiddlers' Tune Books of the Georgian Period" (JEFDSS, vol. 4, No. 1, Dec. 1940, p. 22), writes: "As "The Boulanger" (suggesting perhaps French origin) it is one of the dances performed at the ball in Pride and Prejudice, and with "Robin Adair" perhaps the only musical items specifically mentioned in any of Jane Austin's novels. For "Robin Adair" was becoming known about this period as a drawing-room instead of a drinking song."
