RENDEZVOUS, THE (A' Choisir). Scottish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Athole, Fraser): AABB' (Kerr). This tune and "The North Hunt (Medley)"..."form a medley, complimentary to the Northern Meeting, which becomes, in every month of October, the rendezvous of all the beauty and fashion in the north of Scotland" (Fraser). Alburger says it is likely Capt. Fraser wrote the tune.
