Cock o' the North (music)
Cock o'the North is a 6/8 military march, bagpipe tune and jig. The title comes from the nickname of Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon, who in 1794 raised the 92nd Regiment of Foot, which later became the Gordon Highlanders.
==History==
The composer is unknown, but it first appeared in print in 1816 as a violin tune. It was later published in a collection of bagpipe music by Donald MacDonald in 1822, with the title of ''Gairm n’an Coileach'' (Scottish Gaelic: "The Cock’s Crow").〔(Jack Kopstein, ''World Book Of Military Music and Musicians'', Marches: B-D )〕 Some writers have noted a similarity to the 17th century English tune "Joan's Placket is Torn", which was mentioned by Samuel Pepys and is in John Playford's work, ''The Dancing Master''.〔( Frank Kidson, ''The Vitality of Melody'', ''The Choir'' Magazine, Vol. 15, no. 172, April 1924 (pp. 66-7) )〕 A version of the tune as a reel, from the island of Whalsay goes by the name ''Jumping John''.〔(Andrew Kuntz, ''The Fiddler’s Companion: A Descriptive Index of North American, British Isles and Irish Music for the Folk Violin and other Instruments'' - Alphabetical Files: CO-COLL )〕
