|f_annotation='''MURILLO'S LESSON.''' AKA - "[[Marilla's Lesson]]," "[[Morella's Lesson]]," "[[Morelli's Lesson]]." American; March, Hymn Tune and Air. USA, Alabama. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody can be found in a number of early 19th century American instrumental tutors, where it seems to have been a staple of the fife repertoire, and in period march collections. It appears as early as the Thomas Nixon fife manuscript (as "Morelli's Lesson"), dated c. 1776-78, from the period of the War of American Independence. Thomas Nixon Jr. [http://www.framinghamhistory.org/framinghamhistory/Default/exhibit4/e40093b.htm] (1762-1842), of Framingham, Connecticut, was a thirteen-year-old who accompanied his father to the battles of Lexington and Concord, and who served in the Continental army in engagements in and around New York until 1780, after which he returned home to build a house in Framingham. The copybook appears to have started by another musician, Joseph Long, and to have come into Nixon’s possession. | |||
