DUKE OF GLOUCESTER'S MARCH [2], THE. English, March (4/4 time). England, North-West. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The "Duke of Glocester's March [2]" appears to have been 'the' popular march in Britain around the year 1770, when it appears in at least four collections (mostly tutors for wind instruments): Thomas Bennett's Compleat Tutor for the Fife, Captain Robert Hinde's Collection of Quick Marches (published by Charles and Samuel Thompson, 1770), the Thompson's Compleat Tutor for the Fife (1760 & 1770), and Longman Lukey Co.'s New and Complete Instructions for the Oboe or Hoboy (1770). It appears in a number of period musicians' manuscript collections both in England and America (for which see EASMES [1], including the John Sutherland music manuscript collection. Sutherland was an early 18th century Highland bagpiper and Scottish smallpiper from Aberdeenshire, whose manuscript also appears to include settings for flute and/or fiddle.
