Tune properties and standard notation
GRINDER(S), THE. AKA and see "Grenadiers (The)," "Our Bride is No Maid (1)," "Terry Heigh-ho the Grinder (1)." Irish, Scottish, English; (Slip) Jig (9/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Kerr labels the tune an "Irish Jig," although it has a long history in England, where it appears in numerous 19th century musicians' manuscript collections, including that of Ellis Knowles and Joshua Gibbons (for whom see below), William Calvert (Leyburn, west Yorkshire, 1812), John Clare (Helpston, Northants, 1820), William Clarke (Feltwell, Norfolk, 1858), the Welch family, Rev. Robert Harrison (Brampton, Cumbria, 1820), James Winder (Wyresdale, Lancashire, 1835), William Vickers (Northumberland, 1770), and the Thomas Hardy family (Dorset, early 19th c.). Vickers title is "Our Bride is No Maid (1)," while Hardy has it as "Grenediers (The)" (which is either a corruption of 'Grinder' or vice-versa) and Winder as "Tobias the Grinder"). Early printings were in Wilson's Companion to the Ball Room (1816) and Andrews' Complete Instructions for the Fife (London, 1808). In America it appears in the 1808-1818 copybook of Josiah Adams (Framingham, Mass.). Kennedy and Levey have the parts reversed from each other.
Source for notated version: the c. 1847 music manuscript of Ellis Knowles, a musician from Radcliffe, Lancashire, England [Plain Brown]; the 1823-26 music mss of papermaker and musician Joshua Gibbons (1778-1871, of Tealby, near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire Wolds) [Sumner].
