Revision as of 01:16, 28 June 2020

MIDNIGHT HOUR, THE. AKA - "Midnight Jig (2)." Scottish, Jig or March (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The first strain strongly resembles Bayard's "Ben Walker's Walk Around" (Bayard, Dance to the Fiddle, 1981, No. 371, p. 362). The tune appears to have been popular with American fifers, and appears in several American fife and martial publications of the very early 19th century. Elias Howe printed the tune in the early 1880's but gave the title as "Midnight Jig" (instead of 'Hour').
