CALEDONIAN MARCH [1]. AKA and see "Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine (1)," "Star of Bethlehem" (Pa.). Scottish, March (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The march appears (under the 'Caledonian' title) in several of Boston music publisher Elias Howe's publications, including his Musician's Companion of 1842, whose contents were arranged by members of the Boston Brigade Band, a very popular and accomplished brass band. However, the earliest publication found to date is by Philadelphia music publisher George Willig, who issued it on a single sheet in 1837, arranged by "A professor".
