- Summary:
- "The poet-journalist William Mee (1788-1862) probably wrote the ballad text "Alice Gray" around 1815. By the end of the 1820s, it had been set by three composers: G.W. Reeve (fl. 1820s-30s), George Alexander Hodson (d. 1863), and, most famously in terms of its widespread dissemination and influence on both sides of the Atlantic, Virtue Millard (1786-1854). This edition presents the three settings by these composers, to which it adds eleven of the fourteen known pieces based on Millard's song: the American version in D major, five sets of variations for solo piano, two arrangements for voice and guitar, a choral arrangement, a flute duet, and a fiddle tune." -- Provided by publisher.
