JENNY PLUCK PEARS. English, Country Dance Tune ('A' part in 6/8 time, 'B' part in 3/4 or 6/4 time). A Minor (Barnes, Karpeles, Raven, Sharp): C Minor (Merryweather). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Karpeles, Merryweather, Raven, Sharp): AABB (Barnes). The tune was first published by John Playford in 1651 in his English Dancing Master. This particular melody was retained in the series through the 8rd edition of 1690. However, there were other melodies that Playford published under the title "Jenny Pluck Pears", which was the name of a flirting dance for three couples.
