SURLY GALLOPE, THE. Scottish, Galop (2/4 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "The Surly Gallope" was published in Elgin composer, fiddler, and music teacher James Taylor's first collection of c. 1835, printed in Elgin. This galop (a form of galoppade[1], a type of lively country dance) is attributed to "a Young Lady" by Taylor, but since the Dunbar of Northfield family is so prominent in the collection--Sir Archibald Dunbar himself contributed a dozen compositions, while the collection itself is dedicated to Lady Dunbar--it seems likely the 'young Lady' was one of the Dunbar daughters, Jane, Helen or Margaret[1].
- ↑ Elsewhere in Taylor's collection are tunes attributed to "a Lady", probably Lady Dunbar. This is the only one attributed to a 'young Lady', so we assume a daughter.
