Winner's Tunes of the World

[33rdaladrummer]

...for the Clarionet, which I think might be similar to his "Tunes of the World for the Fife"

To cut down on file size, I just included the pages with the fife camp duty, Bonnie Blue Flag, Maryland, My Maryland, Listen to the Mockingbird, and oddly enough, some bugle calls.

I've been trying to date some of the tunes in the American Veteran Fifer and a couple of its odd ones turned up in this book. Erin Forever is the double drag in Winner's Reveille and the single drag from the AVF tattoo is in Winner's reveille.

What is the date of this publication? It looks like 1803 but that can't be right.

It's 1863.

Yes, it's identical to Winner's fife manual.

One thing that is intersting is he says Three Camps commences "with tap of the snare drum". B&E says "The leading drummer gives the stick tap signal". Looks like both methods were in use.

Since the Three Tapps was originally beat by drummer in the British and Continental Army just prior to Reveille as a preparatory signal, it looks like that tradition continued through the Civil War.

Re: Winner's Tunes of the World

Alvan Robinson's manual says to start a beat with two flams by the lead drummer. Howe's "Quick Step for Drum Corps", which is an easier version of Bruce and Emmett's Q.S. #8, starts with two flams.

The AVF has the reveille starting with 3 cheers, which I think was done in some early 1800s manuals.
