BLACK BOY [1], THE. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 and 6/8 times). A Major ('A' and 'B' parts) & D Major ('C' and 'D' parts). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD'. The tune appears in a music and country dance manuscript from the village of Ashover, Derbyshire, dated 1762 (also dated as 1764 or even 1770). Known as the Ashover Manuscript, it is a music copybook with community dance instructions and melodies with the first page inscribed: ""A Book Of Tunes Joshua Harrison, David Wall, 1762" and a second page inscribed: ""David Wall, His Book, 1775." According to Folkopedia [1], nothing is known of Joshua Harrison, however, David Wall was a bassonist. A memorial plaque at All Saints Church, Ashover, honors him:
To the memory of David Wall
Whose superior performance on the bassoon endeared him
To an extensive musical acquaintance.
His social life closed on the 4 of December 1796 in his 57 year.
Some of the contents (including "The Black Boy") were published published by the Sheffield branch of the English Folk Dance Society in 1927 in a small volume called Five Country Dances together with their tunes.
