OPEN THE DOOR TO THREE [2]. Scottish, Country Dance Tune (9/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Dance instructions, but not the melody, for the tune can be found in the Menzies Manuscript, 1749, contained in the Atholl Collection of the Sandeman Library, Perth. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearance of the melody in print in Robert Bremner's 1768 2nd collection (p. 100). The title sounds descriptive of a country dance figure.
