HAUGHS OF GRANBILLE, THE. AKA and see "Oyster Wives Rant (The)." Scottish, English; Hornpipe (cut time). A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Boston music publisher Elias Howe's "Haughs of Granbille" (which he classifies as a hornpipe) is, musically, an exact copy of the old Scottish and Northumbrian reel "Oyster Wives Rant (The)." However Howe's title is a variant of another member of the larger tune family, "Haughs of Cromdale (The)," to which Howe's "Haughs of Granbille" is a cognate melody, but differs musically in some ways.
