Back to Puddings and Pies

PUDDINGS AND PIES. English, Country Dance Tune and Jig (6/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Puddings and Pies" was first published in London by Henry Playford and appears with dance directions in his Dancing Master, 10th edition (1698). The dance and tune were retained in the long-running Dancing Master series of editions through the 18th and final edition of 1728 (published at the time by John Young). The tune and dance were also published by rival London publisher John Walsh in his The Compleat Country Dancing Master (1718, and later editions of 1731 and 1754). John Gay used the tune in his ballad opera The Beggar's Opera (1729) as the vehicle for the song "There was an old woman." London musician Thomas Hammersley entered it into his 1790 music copybook.
