INSTALLATION, THE. AKA and see "Our Pleasure." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). G Major ('A' & 'B' parts) & G Minor ('C' & 'D' parts). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The melody was originally printed in Charles and Samuel Thompson's Compleat Collection, vol. 3 (London, 1773). As with numerous tunes from the Thompson's 1773 collection, it was penned into the 1788 music manuscript copybook of fiddlers John and William Pitt Turner (Norwich, Conn.). Under the title "Our Pleasure," it was entered in the manuscript collection of Captain George Bush (1753?-1797), a fiddler and officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. It is not known whom (or what) the title refers to, although it may refer to a member of the clergy; the last Archbishop of Canterbury to be installed prior to the Thompson's publication was Frederick Cornwallis in 1768.
