BOY'S LAMENT FOR HIS DRAGON, THE. AKA - "Boy's Lament for his Kite (The)." AKA and see "Farewell to Aberdeen," "72nd's Farewell to Aberdeen (The)." Scottish, Pipe March (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The composition is credited to William MacKay. 'Dragon' in the title is thought to refer to a kite, and Anslem Lingnau points out that in German both the fearsome mythical beast and the flying toy are called drachen. The melody appears to be earliest published as "Boy's Lament for his Kite" in Donald MaxPhee's 1876 collection of Highland pipe music, where it is attributed to MacKay. Soon afterwards, however, it appeared as "The 72nd's Farewel to Aberdeen" in Pipe Major William Ross's 1885 collection attributed to N. and debate continues about the original name of the march and its composer.
