LADY TERFICHEN'S RANT [1]. AKA - "Lady Tarsichens Rant." Scottish, English; Rant or Reel. England, Northumberland. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Printed by an anonymous publisher around 1730 (Alburger, 1983). The tune also appears in John Walsh's Third Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master (London, 1735, p. 37), and in London musician Thomas Hammersley's 1790 music manuscript collection. Seattle points out that the opening measures of the tune makes it "modally ambiguous."
