"Maggie Lauder" Harpsichord - Digital Sheet Music

Capture your audience with a musical surprise.  This piece recollects  musical life in the American colonies and pictures harpsichord playing at Mount Vernon. "Maggie Lauder" is a catchy, lively Scottish tune, with a humorous set of verses about Maggie's dancing to the piping of a famous Scot bagpiper.It was a very popular tune for singing or dancing in the American colonies. In fact, the tune took on a new name, Cornwallis Burgoynd", with new words to poke fun at the defeated British general Cornwallis after his troops surrendered to end the American Revolution.     As a harpsichord piece, with variations, it was published by Scots musician Robert Bremner.  The family of George Washington at Mount Vernon owned this music, which was probably played by his granddaughter Nelly Custis.    New variations have been added. An interesting addition to any harpsichord program, esp. on patriotic occasions.  4 pp.  About 4 min.
