Back to Bath (1) (The)
BATH, THE. English, Country Dance ("Longways for as many as will"). G Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The melody first appears in print in John Playford's The English Dancing Master [1] (1651). It was printed in several of the subsequent editions of the long-running series, ending with a reprint of the 3rd edition, in 1665, after which it was dropped. There are two different melodies with this title in Playford, which refers to the dancing at the assemblies at the spa resort town of Bath, England, famous since Roman times for its medicinal hot-springs.
