MR. MARSHALL. Scottish, "Pastoral Strathspey" (whole time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by fiddler-composer and dancing master J. Scott Skinner (1843-1927) in honor of William Marshall of Fochabers, the Duke of Gordon's factor and a celebrated composer of reels and strathspeys. Skinner notes Marshall was: "Composer of 'The Marquis Huntly's Farewell' which gained the composer of this work the first prize at Inverness competition, Sept., 1863." Skinner dedicated the tune to architect Alexander Marshall MacKenzie [1] (1848-1933), whose middle name derived from his mother, who was a granddaughter of William Marshall.
