Tune properties and standard notation
HELL BROKE LOOSE IN GEORGIA [2?]. American, Reel. USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Bayard (1981) identifies this tune as a composite with an 'A' part from British Isles tradition, attached to a 'B' part newly composed. The 'A' part appears to be the Scottish "My Ain Kind Deary O," which can be traced to the 1760's; the tune is also known as "Christmas Eve (1)," and the march sets "Our President," "Here's a Health unto Our Leader," and "Fearless Boys (The)" {Bayard also links these tunes to "Oh! Lassie Art Thou Sleeping Yet," and suggests they are all part of a "moderate sized tune family of perhaps some respectable antiquity" i.e. they are descended from some unknown original single air}.
Source for notated version: Abraham Gray (Westmoreland County, Pa., 1930's) [Bayard].
