Back to Campbell's Allemand

CAMPBELL'S ALLEMAND. Scottish (?), Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody also appears in the c. 1788 music manuscript book of Thomas Molyneaux, of Shelburne, Nova Scotia. Molyneaux, a flute player, was evidently an ensign in the British army at one time. The allemand also appears in print in James Campbell's A Collection of Marches, Quick Steps, Strathspeys, Reels, &c. (Glasgow, 1796), with differences from from Glasgow publisher James Aird's version of some 13 years prior. Campbell's version is less technically demanding than is Aird's.

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: Aird (Selections of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs), vol. II, 1785; No. 136, p. 50. Campbell (Collection of Marches, Quick Steps, Strathspeys, Reels, etc.), Glasgow, 1798.
