| '''IANTHA [2]'''. AKA - "[[Iantha (2)]]," "Ianthe the Lovely." AKA and see "[[Mourn Hapless Caledonia]]," "[[When he holds up his hand]]." English, Country Dance Tune (cut time). G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody was composed by John Barret (1674?-1735?), to to a lyric by John Glanvill, c. 1705. Barret was a music-master at Christ's Hospital, and a pupil of Dr. Blows; he contributed many melodies to period publications. "Iantha" was published in '''The Dancing Master''', 13th edition of 1706 (then published in London by John Young, heir to the Playford publishing concern). It also appears in D'Urfey's '''Pills to Purge Melancholy''', and in John Gay's seminal ballad opera '''The Beggar's Opera''' (1729), for the song "When he holds up his hand"). Henry Harington (1727 - 1816) included it in his '''Songs, Duets and Other Compositions by Doctor Harington of Bath never before published''' (London, 1800).
