    This is an English Country Dance tune in 6/8 time from the 7th Edition of Playford's Dancing Master from 1670.

    My recording is based on a concertina arrangement by Michel Van Der Meiren, which I have adapted to a mandolin quartet of two mandolins, tenor guitar and mandocello:

    Played on:

    1890s Umberto Ceccherini mandolin
    1921 Gibson Ajr mandolin
    Ozark tenor guitar
    Suzuki MC-815 mandocello

    The bowlback takes the lead on the first repetition with the Gibson taking over on the second repetition.

    It's a fun tune, much reminiscent of certain Italian renaissance dances.
