CHASSE DE GARDE COTILLION, LA. AKA - "Chasse de la Garde (La)." English, Cotillion (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC. The melody, originally French but adopted in Britain for fashionable dancing, appears in Neil Stewart's A Select Collection of Scots English Irish and Foreign Airs Jiggs & Marches [1] (Edinburgh, 1788, p. 14). Dance instructions were printed in a manual entitled Book the First, Containing the Figures to Twenty-Four New French Cotillions dating from c. 1780, perhaps published in Bath.
