MISS SOPHIA CAMPBELL(‘S OF SADDELL’S). AKA and see “Mrs. McGee.” Scottish, Jig. G Minor (Glen): G Major/Mixolydian (Cranford). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Glen): AABB’ (Cranford). Composed by Robert ‘Red Rob’ Mackintosh and first printed in his 1796 collection of tunes. Originally a minor-key tune, a Cape Breton ‘double-tonic’ version in G has been circulating since the 1950's when it was recorded (under the title “Mrs. McGee”) by fiddler Angus Chisholm (Cranford). The melody remains one of the more popular of MacIntosh’s compositions on Cape Breton.
