Tune properties and standard notation
CASSINO. AKA and see "Hickity Crackity," "Baltimore [1]," "Cacina," "Cacinameronian's Rant," "French March [2]" (Murphy), "Cotillon" (Greenwood), "Cottillion Oats Peas Beans." English, American; March or Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). Van Cleef and Keller (1980) report the tune (which will be recognizable as the melody to the singing game "Oats, peas, beans and barley, oh!") was very popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries in England and America, though it appears to have been French in origin. The melody appears in Button & Whittaker, 1804-5 (Button and Whittaker's Pocket Collection of Favorite Marches); pg. 58. In America, it was copied by Cushing Eells (Norwich, Connecticut) into his German flute MS of 1789. Later American sources give the title as "Baltimore," and in Pennsylvania as "Hickity Crackity."
