Tune of the Day: Miss Bain's Fancy
Traditional Scottish tune
The earliest appearance of this tune is in the fifth volume of James Aird's A Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, published in Glasgow in 1801. The tune was there printed as a strathspey, while in more recent Irish publications the dotted rhythms have been excised and the tune is proposed as a reel.
