Tune properties and standard notation


DOG AND GUN. American, March (4/4 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in a remarkable number of American musicans' manuscript copybooks from the last decade of the 18th century, into the first decades of the 19th. It also was printed in numerous American martial (fife and drum) tutors and repertoire books from the early 1800's. It even can be heard on a surviving musical clock made by Leslie and Williams in Trenton, New Jersey, dating from 1798. Dog and Gun is a common name for a pub.
