The Girl I Left Behind Me (Fife and Drum Sheet Music)

"The Girl I Left Behind Me," sometimes known in the States as "Brighton Camp," is a folk song/march possibly dating back to as far as the Elizabethan era, although usually most sources date it to the second half of the 18th century. Here are three different historical variations of the march, as played by British and American armies during the 19th century. I chose 108 crotchet beats per minute as the standard tempo for all three as it was the British "quick-time" pace during the Napoleonic Wars. 1. Probably what I would consider the most "traditional" of the three, sticking closely to the true melody of the original folk song, with the drum beating in this instance coming from Hazelton, as a version of "My Love is but a Lassie Yet." 2. A version pretty much identical to that played by reenactors at Fort George in Canada, with a slightly different fife part and another drum beating based off of "My Love is but a Lassie Yet." 3. A version which comes from George B. Bruce and Dan Emmett's "The Drummer's & Fifer's Guide" published during the US Civil War or the "War of the Rebellion" and which is probably the most unique of the three. 0:00 Variant 1: "Traditional" melody and Hazelton's drum cadence 0:37 Variant 2: Version played at Fort George in Canada 1:12 Variant 3: From Bruce and Emmett's "The Drummer's & Fifer's Guide" As usual, this was created with MuseScore, using MuseSounds Piccolo and Field Drum for the audio. Again, I have decided to use images from the various time periods, the Napoleonic Wars, the War of 1812-1815, one from the Crimean War and three from the US Civil War of 1861-1865. In order of appearance these are: 1. "The Storming of San Sebastian" by Denis Dighton, depicting the assault on the Spanish coastal town in 1813 by British forces, against a French garrison defending the town and the castle atop the heights. 2. "Field Marshal Beresford disarming a Polish lancer at Albuera" by Thomas Sutherland. Beresford commanded the Anglo-Portuguese forces at the Battle of Albuera in 1811, which ended in a bloody stalemate, including a destructive French cavalry charge directed at Colborne's brigade. 3. A print by Charles Turner of the Battle of Fuontes d'Ouoro in 1811, in which Wellington managed to gain a minor victory against the French under Masséna. 4. "The Sortie from Bayonne, at 3 in the Morning, on the 14th April 1814" by Thomas Sutherland, which depicts the Battle of Bayonne, the last major battle of the Peninsular War. 5. "Death of General Brock at the Battle of Queenston Heights" by John David Kelly, in which the British decisively beat an American force over twice its size in the first major battle of the War of 1812-1815. 6. "The 28th Regiment at Quatre Bras" by Elizabeth Thompson, depicting a British infantry square repelling a French cavalry charge during the Battle of Quatre Bras during the Hundred Days. 7. "The Final Stand at Bladensburg, Maryland, 24 August 1814" by Charles Waterhouse, depicting American marines during what would prove to be one of Britain's most decisive victories in the War of 1812-1815. 8. "Scotland Forever!" by Elizabeth Thompson depicting the charge of the Royal Scots Greys at the battle of Waterloo. 9. "The Roll Call" by Elizabeth Thompson, depicting a roll call of Grenadier Guards during the Crimean War. 10. "Battle of Shiloh" by Thure de Thulstrup, depicting the Battle of Shiloh/Pittsburg Landing in 1862, during the US Civil War of 1861-1865. 11. "Battle of Antietam" by Thule de Thulstrup, depicting the Battle of Antietam later that year, one of the deadliest battles of the war. 12. "Battle of Gettysburg" by Thure de Thulstrup, depicting the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, the bloodiest battle of the war, and which would prove to be a decisive Government victory over the Southern rebels.
