LADY ANN HAMILTON('S RANT). AKA - "Lady Hambleton." AKA and see "Lady Home's Jig" "Lady Jean Hume's Reel." Scottish, English; Jig. England, Northumberland. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. John Glen (1891) found the earliest printing of the tune to be in John Riddell's 1782 collection (p. 29), mistakenly, as other collections predate Riddell. Seattle (1987) thinks William Vickers' (1770) version of the melody remarkably similar to "Cock Up Thy Beaver." Gow prints the tune as "Lady Home's Jig," while Bremner (c. 1757) prints it as "Lady Jean Hume's Reel," as does the earliest source, David Young (1734) in his Drummond Castle Manuscript.

Source for notated version: William Vickers' music manuscript collection [1] (Northumberland, 1770) [Seattle].

Printed sources: Seattle (Great Northern/William Vickers), 1987, Part 3; No. 494.
