CHANT RUSSE. AKA - "Chantrusse (The)." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in a few printed collections: Edward Riley's Flute Melodies, vol. 1 (New York, 1814, p. 100), Thomas Ball's Gentleman's Amusement, Book 2 (Norfolk, c. 1815, p. 12), and Wilson's Companion to the Ball Room (London, 1816, p. 84). "Chant Russe" apparently was a name for the country dance known as "Seann Truibhas Willichan," printed by Wilson and others under the "Chant Russe" title, a phonetic translation of the Scots Gaelic title. The name is given as "The Chantrusse" in piper William Mackie's manuscript collection.
Source for notated version: William Mackie music manuscript collection, Aberdeen, early 19th century. Mackie was a Highland bagpiper and Scots small-piper, although his manuscript also includes sections that appear to be for flute and/or fiddle.
