Back to Fiddle Faddle

FIDDLE FADDLE. AKA and see "Tail Todle/Tail Toddle." English; Scottish, Country Dance Tune or Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The tune was published in London by John Walsh in his Caledonian Country Dances, issued in several volumes and editions, from 1731 to c. 1745. It was also published by Edward Jones in his Musical and Poetical Relicks of the Welsh Bards (1794, p. 154), and sometimes claimed as 'Welsh' (even given a Welsh-sounding name, "Ffidle Ffadle"), but there is nothing to indicate it has a Welsh provenance. Jones printed a good number of older English tunes, and he perhaps collected them from musicians in Wales; although they may have been in oral tradition they were originally published in London.

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: Jones (Musical and Poetical Relicks of the Welsh Bards), 1794; p. 153. Walsh (Caledonian Country Dances), c. 1745; pp. 6-7.
