COLDSTREAM MARCH [2]. AKA and see "New Coldstream March (1)." English, March (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Coldstream March [2]" is contained in the large copybook of British army fifer John Buttery of Lincolnshire, who joined as a teenager and who served more than twenty years before returning home. He later emigrated to Ontario, Canada, taking his music manuscript with him. The march also can be found as "Coldstream's New March" in the 1787 copybook of English musician John Shepherd. It was also entered as the untitled "March 5th" in the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Winter[1] (1774-1861), a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset, southwest England, and in flute player William Killey's music copybook (mid-19th cent., Jurby, Isle of Man).
American amateur musician Henry Livingston (Dutchess County, New York) included the melody in his music manuscript collection as "Dorstream March'". The melody also appears in flute player Daniel Henry Huntington's (Onondaga, N.Y.) 1817 music manuscript copybook. See also note for "New Coldstream March for more.
