| Item Description | 'The Champion March' in two different printed, glued-in versions, in A major, signed at right 'J. Scott Skinner'. The first 16-bar melody is set with a single bass clef accompaniment. Skinner has added 'met[ronome marking]: 112' to the left. The second, 'Var[iation]. version has had the accompaniment cut off. Under the music he wrote 'For Pipe Settings of these Marches see D[avid]. Glen's Coll[ection]: [of Pipe Music] 8 Greenside Lane, Edinburgh [dedicated to] To The Late William Maclennan Champion Piper & Dancer who died in Montreal[.] The composer was a member of his company'. In the Harp and Claymore Skinner changed the last sharp (G) in the key signature to G natural, as he does in a number of other 'Pipe Marches' due to G sharp not being in the pipe scale. The accompaniment also differs, being in octaves rather than the chordal notes as shown here. |
