This minor-key march was apparently played by the British as they retreated from the Battle of New Orleans (1815); it is now part of the Appalachian/old-time canon. Recorded on ‘The Piper in the Holler’ album (2012) and printed in ‘An Appalachian Collection’ tune book (2006). The grace-notes that appear on this sheet music have since been updated to provide more emphasis on the backbeat, in imitation of old-time fiddling styles.
British Field March (trad. Appalachia, USA)
A traditional 2/4 march (of sorts) sourced from Henry Reed (via Alan Jabbour), and adapted for Scottish-style pipes by Timothy Cummings.
