Coldstream March (2)

COLDSTREAM MARCH [2]. English, March (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody also appears in flute player Daniel Henry Huntington's (Onondaga, N.Y.) 1817 music manuscript copybook, and fiddler John Fife's music manuscript collection, compiled in the last two decades of the 18th century in Perthshire and perhaps at sea. As "Coldstream's New March" it appears in the 1787 copybook of English musician John Shepherd. American amateur musician Henry Livingston (Dutchess County, New York) included the melody in his music manuscript collection as "Dorstream March'".

Printed source: Aird (Selections of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 6), 1803; p. 66.
