LORD OF CARNARVON'S JIG. AKA and see "Jack a Lent." English, Country Dance Tune (2/2 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. L=d by John Playford in his English Country Dancing Master (London, 1651) is given in the entry for "Lord of Carnavon's Jig (2)". The tune given in the present entry, "Lord of Carnavon's Jig (1)," is actually that of Playford's "Jack a Lent," which was deliberately substituted for the original melody of the dance by English collector Cecil Sharp in his Country Dance Tunes (1909). It is in duple time, for despite our modern associations with the 'jig' as a 6/8 time tune, in Playford's time a jig simply meant a spirited or lively dance.
