TEMPEST OF WAR, THE. American, March (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "The Tempest of War" appears in several American musician's manuscripts of the late 18th and early 19th century, including the copybooks of Thomas Nixon (c. 1776-78), John Hoff (c. 1797), and Henry Beck (1786). It was also published in Norris & Sawyer's Village Fifer (Exeter, N.H., 1808) and Alvan Robinson's Massachusetts Collection of Martial Musick (Hollowell, ME, 1818). Beck and Hoff were flute players, while Nixon was a fifer, and the two publications contain martial music.
