"The Devil In The Kitchen", also known as "The De’il In The Kitchen","Calum Crubach", "Devil Shake the Half-Breed", "Gurren’s Castle", "Mountain Reel",<br> "Our Highland Cousins", "The Prince of Wales Jig", "The Titanic Highland",<br> "Yorkshire Bite" is a Scottish, Shetland, Canadian and Irish (Pipe) reel, fling or<br> strathspey in A Mixolydian. The parts are played AAB (Hunter), AA’B (Skinner/Harp),<br> AABB (Martin), AABBA’A’BB (Perlman), AABCCD (Skinner/Violinist).<br> It was composed (according to J. Scott Skinner) as a pipe tune by William Ross,<br> the Queen’s Piper. The melody was arranged (and popularized) by J. Scott Skinner<br> (1843-1927) and appears as a two-part tune in his Harp and Claymore collection (1904).<br> Skinner later expanded the melody to four parts (variations) in his Scottish<br> Violinist; in Harp and Claymore he directs that the tune be played an octave lower<br> the second time through. In pipe collections the tune set as a strathspey is<br> usually attributed to one John MacPherson and once to a Donald McPhedran (in his own<br> collection). The late Donegal fiddler Danny O’Donnell (1910-2001) recorded a<br> version on his album entitled generically as "Highland Fling".<br> It was printed in Hunter's The Fiddle Music of Scotland (1988),<br> Martin's Ceol na Fidhle, vol. 1, (1991),<br> Martin's Traditional Scottish Fiddling (2002),<br> Perlman's The Fiddle Music of Prince Edward Island (1996),<br> Skinner's Harp and Claymore (1903/4),<br> Skinner's The Scottish Violinist,<br> Banalari's Celtic Encyclopedia (1999).<br> It was recorded by Brenda Stubbert on In Jig Time! (1995),<br> Alasdair Fraser & Jody Stecher on The Driven Bow (1988),<br> Alasdair Fraser & Tony McManus on Return to Kintail (1999),<br> Eileen Ivers and Natalie MacMaster (1994),<br> Dan Joe MacInnis on The Cape Breton Fiddle of... (1962),<br> Joe Cormier on Scottish Violin Music from Cape Breton Island (1974),<br> Natalie MacMaster on No Boundaries (1996),<br> Bill Lameyon on From Cape Breton to Boston and Back: Classic House Sessions of<br> Traditional Cape Breton Music 1956-1977 (2000),<br> Jerry Holland on Parlor Music (2005).<br>
