MISS BRUCE [1] (Ingean Ni Brusac). AKA – "Miss Bruce's Reel." AKA and see "Miss Jane Bruce's Jig." Irish, Jig (6/8). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Paul de Grae discovers that Howe/O'Neill's "Miss Bruce" is a nearly identical version of "Miss Jane Bruce's Jig" printed in Glasgow by James Aird. Boston music publisher Elias Howe's title (including his volume by 'Patrick O'Flannagan', a Howe pseudonym) was "Miss Bruce's Reel," despite the tune being in 6/8 time. Formerly, the name 'reel' in a title for a 6/8 tune often implied a winding dance figure, rather than being a metrical denotation, but the Howe title may have simply been originally a printers oversight that carried into his later publications.
