<p><font face="sans-serif" size="4"> '''CORELLI'S GAVOT'''. English, Gavot. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody occurs in the final movement of Italian composer Archangelo Corelli's '''Trio Sonata op. 2, No. 1''' (1685). It was printed with a country dance in Daniel Wright's '''Compleat Collection''' (vol. 1, London, c. 1740, printed by John Johnson). See also the variant "[[Mr. Cosgill’s Delight]]." <br> <br> ''Source for notated version'': the music manuscript book of Captain George Bush (1753?-1797), a fiddler and officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Bush had evidently copied it from a tutor for the fife printed in Philadelphia in 1776, thought to be reprinted by George Willig around 1805 [Keller]. <br> <br> ''Printed source:'' Keller ('''Fiddle Tunes from the American Revolution'''), 1992; p. 17.
