BUSH ABOON TRAQUAIR, THE. Scottish, Air (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. One of the tunes marked by Thomson as composed by Rizzio in his first edition of Orpheus Caledonius (1725). Rizzio was a lutenist and singer of repute as well as Queen Mary's secretary, however it has never been proven that he composed any existing melodies, and Thomson removed the ascription in his second edition. The tune was used by Allan Ramsey in his ballad opera The Gentle Shepherd (1725).
