MISS GARRICK'S ALLEMANDE. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDEEFF. 'Miss Garrick' was possibly a niece of actor and playwright David Garrick. Garrick and his wife had no children of their own, however, his only brother George had two girls, Arabella and Catherine. The girls were frequently in the company of David, and were much admired; one contemporary, a Miss Hawkins, who lived near them when in the country, recorded that she was ‘‘ duly jealous of their re-echoed praises.”
