LADY ANN CARNEGIE'S FAVORITE. Scottish, Slow Jig or Air. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Niel Gow Junr. (c. 1795-1823), son of Nathaniel Gow (1763-1831) and grandson of famed Dunkeld, Perthshire, fiddler-composer Niel Gow (1727-1807). Niel Jr. was a promising performer and composer who briefly joined his father's Edinburgh publishing business. Unfortunately, his career was cut short by an untimely death. See also "Bonnie/Bonny Prince Charlie (1)," the name of a song written by the Errick Shepherd, poet James Hogg, set to Gow's tune. The tune was published with the note: "Slowly by Niel Gow Junr. Sung by Miss Paton in London under the title of Bonnie Brave Scotland."
