Notes: From the Traditional Tune Archive: “Moneymusk” was originally a pipe tune or pipe-inspired tune. It takes it’s name from an Aberdeenshire, Scotland, baronial estate called Monymusk House, long in the possession of the Grant family. ‘Moneymusk’ is the ‘Englished’ version of the Gaelic words Muine muisc meaning a ‘noxious weed or bush’. The tune was composed by Daniel (sometimes Donald) Dow (1732–1783) in 1776 and first appeared in his Thirty Seven New Reels, c. 1780 (p. 5), under the title “Sir Archibald Grant of Monemusk’s Reel”.
