Boney's Retreat

Just another grand wee Fifing March which does not appear to be related to any other Bonaparte tune here ..... but I could be wrong. :-P

Sounds like it could be related to The Campbell's Farewell to redcastle:

...and any number of other tunes related to that.

The Humours of Tullycrine:

...but that's starting to clutch at straws. You can find a connection between The Trumpet Hornpipe and J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion if you try hard enough.
