LESLIE'S LILT. Scottish, Slow Air (3/4 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The name was probably derived from a Scottish general in England's civil wars. The air appears in the Skene Manuscript (c. 1615-1620, No. 35) and Dauney's Ancient Scotish Melodies (1838). "Leslie's Lilt", along with "Humors of Glen (The)," forms the themes for the last movement ("Dance") of composer Sir Alexander Campbell Mackenzie's [1] (1847-1935) orchestral Pibroch Suite.
