HEADINGTON MORRIS REEL. English, Morris Dance Tune (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (x4), A. From the village of Headington, in England's Cotswolds. The tune comes from the playing of Anglo-concertina player William Kimber at Headington Quarry, Oxford. Kimber was a member of the Headington Morris Team in December, 1899, when Cecil Sharp came to see them, an event that helped trigger his interest in English folk dance, which in turn led to a revival of traditional tunes and dances. Kimber was still playing when he was recorded in 1946 and 1948 in the studio by Douglas Kennedy, and later (in the 1950's) by Peter Kennedy.
