MARCH [71]. Russian(?), March (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. This untitled march was entered into the large 19th century music manuscript collection[1](No. 273, p. 76) of prosperous dairy farmer, miller, sometime printer and bookbinder, and fiddler James Barry (1819-1906) of Six Mile Brook, Pictou County, northern Nova Scotia. Barry added the word "Bayadere" in parenthesis, perhaps a reverence to the 1877 Russian ballet La Bayadère ("the temple dancer"), originally staged in four acts and seven tableaux by the French choreographer Marius Petipa to music by Ludwig Minkus and libretto by Sergei Khudekov.
