Back to New High Level Hornpipe (1) (The)

NEW HIGH LEVEL [1], THE. Scottish, Reel or Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune has been described as a "fast hornpipe," and is sometimes called "The New High Level Reel." The composition is credited (and copyrighted) to Andrew Rankine, according to Martin & Hughes, however, the first strain is a borrowing of Northumbrian composer Robert Whinham's "New High Level Hornpipe (2)," although the second strain differs. Rankine's version is often heard as the lead tune for the Scottish Country Dance 'Red Rose and White'.
