HEREFORDSHIRE LASSES. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABA. Herefordshire is a southern county in England near the border with Wales. Hereford is an Anglo-Saxon name meaning "army ford" and referring to a crossing place on the Severn river that was apparently quite important during times of conflict (Matthews, 1972). The air is from Longman, Lukey & Broderip's 1776 publication Bride's Favorite Collection of Two Hundred Select Country Dances, Cotillons (London, p. 58). The Herefordshire Lasses is also the name of a country dance.
