Back to Shuffle and Cut (1)

SHUFFLE AND CUT [1] (Cuir tri n-a ceile agus gearr). English, Irish; Country Dance Tune and Slip Jig (9/8 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC (Cole, Kennedy, Ryan): AABBCC (Howe, O'Flannagan, O'Neill): ABAC DBDC EBEC FBFC GBGC HBHC (McFarlan). "An old Irish dance" state the notes in the Elia Howe collections (O'Flannagan, Ryan, Cole), who obtained the melody from “an English work on Dancing, published 1816.” Howe prints the dance instructions with the tune in 1000 Jigs and Reels (c. 1867). O’Neill (1913) mentions that a special dance was performed to this tune, and indeed the title is suggestive of dance figures. However, the provenance of the is not Irish, but English, as it first appears in print in London publisher John Walsh's The Second Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master, and was entered into the Scottish McFarlan Manuscript, both dating from around 1740.
