GRAND PARADE [1], THE. AKA and see "Moon and Seven Stars (The)," "even Stars (The)," "True Briton (The)." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). England, Yorkshire. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title may indicate the tune was used for a 'march around' or 'grand march' type dance, such as was common at the beginning of country dances. Perhaps it is also an allusion to the 'grand parade' of the heavens.

Source for notated version: an MS collection by fiddler Lawrence Leadley, 1827-1897 (Helperby, Yorkshire) [Merryweather & Seattle].
