Alice Gray
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.
