CAPTAIN MORGAN'S MARCH. Welsh, March. The tune first appears in Edward Jones' Musical and Poetical Relicks of the Welsh Bards, 1st ed., 1784. "Captain Morgan's March" was reprinted in the 1794 edition of that work. Parry included it in his 1809 Welsh Melodies, but altered the terminal notes, which is the present form of the air. Kidson (Groves) says that, like many Welsh airs, great antiquity has been claimed for it, as, for example did Jane Williams in her History of Wales (1869) when she associated the tune with the rising of Rhys ap Morgan in Glamorganshire in 1294, and suggested the march was 'probably composed or selected by this Prince to animate the march of his followers'. Kidson himself finds no evidence of great antiquity, and on structural terms dates it the no later than the middle of the 18th century. He classifies it as one of the martial tunes that as a genre were immensely popular in the second half of the 18th century, and says that "it most likely is the composition of a regimental band-master, who has named it after some Captain Morgan associated with the regiment."

DEVIL IN THE KITCHEN, THE [1]. AKA and see "Calum Crubach," "Devil Shake the Half-Breed," "Gurren's Castle," "Miss Sarah Drummond of Perth," "Miss Drummond of Perth," "Mountain Reel" [4], "Our Highland Cousins," "The Prince of Wales Jig," "The Titanic Highland," "Yorkshire Bite" [2]. Scottish, Shetland, Canadian, Irish; (Pipe) Reel, Fling or Strathspey. Ireland, County Donegal. Canada; Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton. A Mixolydian. Standard. AAB (Hunter): AABB (Martin): AABBA'A'BB (Perlman): AABCCD (Skinner). Composed (according to Skinner) as a pipe tune by William Ross, the Queen's Piper, the melody was arranged (and popularized) by J. Scott Skinner (1843-1927) and appears as a two part tune in his Harp and Claymore collection. Skinner later expanded the melody to four parts (variations) in his Scottish Violinist. In pipe collections the tune set as a strathspey is attributed to one John MacPherson and once to a Donald McPhedran (in his own collection). "Devil in the Kitchen" is popular reel in County Donegal. In Scotland it is often used to accompany the Highland Fling.

LADY HAMILTON('S REEL) [3]. AKA and see "Countess of Sutherland." Scottish, Reel. B Flat Major. Standard. AAB. Composed by George Jenkins who was a Scottish dancing teacher in London about the year 1794, when he probably published his collection of New Scotch Music, &c, dedicated to the Prince of Wales. John Glen (1895) is of the opinion that Jenkins composed a few good reels and strathspeys, but that "a number of his tunes do not possess the true Scottish character."

Scottish (originally), Canadian; Strathspey. Irish, Highland. Canada; Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton. Ireland, County Donegal. A Minor (most versions): A Mixolydian (Perlman). Standard. AB (Athole, Cole, Skye): AAB (Gow, Kerr, Honeyman, Hunter): AABB' (Perlman). The composition was claimed by Neil Gow (1727-1807) and appears in his Third Collection, second edition, 1801. However, it has also been alleged to be the work of Malcolm MacDonald, who published it in 1789 (Collection, vol. 2, pg. 1) as "Miss Sarah Drummond of Perth" (Alburger/Emmerson/Glen). There is a direct connection between Gow and MacDonald, for MacDonald was a professional musician from Gow's home town of Inver, Perthshire, and often accompanied Gow on the cello when the latter played for dances. In County Donegal, Ireland, the tune is known in the form of a Highland and is called "The Titanic Highland" or "The Sinking of the Titanic."

RULE, BRITANNIA. "Smile America." English, Air (cut time). G Major. Standard. One part. The music was composed by Dr. Thomas Augustine Arne for his masque of Alfred (some sources say the opera was The Judgement o' Paris), first performed as the end of an entertainment before Frederick, Prince of Wales, at Clivedon House, near Maidenhead, August, 1740, under the title "When Britain First." The opera was revived in 1759 and the song was printed in Clio an Euterpe's Of British Harmony, Vol. 1 (1758) under the "Rule Britiannia" title. Lyrics were the work of Scottish poet James Thomson. Emmerson (1972) states the song was inspired by imperialistic fervor engendered by the so-called War of Jenkins' Ear, in which England vied with Spain in dispute of access to the South American continent. As a nationalistic song it was a favorite of British troops in the American Revolution, who also used the titles "When Britain First by Heav'ns Come" and "Hail Britain, Hail thou Glory's Pride." As with several popular British songs, the tune was co-opted by the Americans with new lyrics, and appears in the Henry Beck Manuscript (pg. 9) of 1786 as "Smile America." Transported to America the tune was renamed, becoming "Smile America." For more, see Chappell (1859). Peter Mackenzie, "the genial reminiscer of Glasgow" (Emmerson, 1971), mentions the tune as one of the favorite songs of the early 19th century in Lowlands Scots centers.
