Miss Hamilton sheet music

Miss Hamilton appears here in three listed settings: one credited to Cornelius Lyons with 1706 shown alongside the name, one unattributed score titled simply Miss Hamilton, and one unattributed version titled Miss Hamilton Reel [3]. JGi.069. The settings open in different keys and metres, so compare the notation shown for each score before choosing. Attribution and background should be checked against a reliable reference, because the listings alone do not establish the tune's origin or original instrumentation.

What the listed settings show

The page includes a score credited to Cornelius Lyons, an unattributed score titled Miss Hamilton, and an unattributed setting titled Miss Hamilton Reel [3]. JGi.069. The Lyons-credited score opens in G major and 4/4; both unattributed scores open in D major, one in 4/4 and the reel-titled setting in 2/2. These details describe the individual scores rather than proving a single authoritative version of the tune.

Attribution and the Lyons credit

Only one of the three listings names a composer: Cornelius Lyons, with 1706 shown alongside the name. The other two scores carry no composer credit. The listings do not explain whether the date refers to the tune, the setting, or the attribution, and they do not establish that all three titles are versions of the same work.

Comparing the settings

Check the opening key, metre and title of each score before selecting one. The reel-titled setting is identified as a reel in its title and opens in 2/2, while the other two scores open in 4/4. The tempo figures shown with each score are score-specific opening fields, not a recommended performance tempo for the tune.

What is not established

The listings do not identify intended instruments, difficulty, origin, or a verified original version of Miss Hamilton. Where those details matter for a performance or teaching choice, use the notation itself and seek corroboration from a reliable edition or teacher rather than relying on the title alone.
