MISS ANN AMELIA MURRAY. AKA – "Lady Anne Amelia Stuart’s Strathspey," “Mrs. MacIntyre’s Strathspey," "Miss Anne Amelia Stewart.” Scottish, Canadian; Strathspey. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. Composed by Duncan MacIntyre (b. 1765), who titled it “Mrs. MacIntyre’s Strathspey” in his collection. Although composer credits go to MacIntyre, the Gows were the first to publish the melody and did so under the title “Miss Ann Amelia Murray.” The melody was composed by expatriate Scots dancing master Duncan MacIntyre of London, who spent some years in India (probably as a Master of Ceremonies to the Governor General's Court), and who died about 1806.
