MACKINNON'S RANT. AKA and see "Thro' the warld wou'd I gang wi' the Lad that loves me (2)." Canadian, Rant or Reel. Canada; Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island. A Dorian (Dunlay/MacMaster, Dunlay/Gillis, Perlman): A Mixolydian (Dunlay/MacDonald). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Dunlay/MacDonald): AAB (Dunlay/MacMaster, Dunlay/Gillis, Perlman). Paul Cranford suggests that "MacKinnon's Rant" is related to the strathspey "Craig o' Barns/Craig of Barns (The)," while John Shaw (in the booklet to Topic 12TS354) attributed it to the 18th century Scottish composer Robert Mackintosh. In the William Christie Collection (1820) the melody is printed under the title "Thro' the warld wou'd I gang wi' the Lad that loves me (2)."
