BLACK NAG [1], THE. AKA - "The Galloping Nag." English, Jig (6/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. An early version of the jig "Black Nag" that became popular with English country dancers and American contra dancers in the 1970's. The tonality is major, according to Jeremy Barlow's (1985) notation. The melody first appears in print as a new tune to the 3rd edition of Playford's Dancing Master (1657). As "The Galloping Nag" it appears in Walsh's Compleat Country Dancing Master, vol. 1, 1718 (28), and again in his 1731 edition (14). John and William Neal also published the tune (as "Galloping Nag") in their Choice Collection of Country Dances (Dublin, 1726). See also the similar (both dance and tune) "Millison's Jegge" published in Playford's first edition of the Dancing Master (1651).
