COLONEL TYNTE'S MARCH. English, March (3/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. "Colonel Tynte's March" was entered 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. The title may refer to Charles Kemeys Kemeys Tynte or Charles Kemeys Kemeys-Tynte (1778-1860) who was an English Whig and Liberal politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1820 to 1837. He lived at Halsewell House, Somerset and Kevanmably Glamorganshire and was a colonel of the West Somerset Cavalry. He held the seat until 1837. Tynte died at the age of 82. If Winter's title is associated with him, then it is one of the few local tunes in his manuscript collection.
