MRS. SAVAGE'S WHIM. English, Country Dance Tune (3/2 time). B Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune dates to 1713 when it was published by John Young in the second volume of the Dancing Master [1]. Young was the successor to John and Henry Playford (father and son) for the long-running series which began in 1651. In fact, notes Graham Christian (writing in CDSS News, issue #189, March/April 2006) the dance figues were not new but had appeared a decade earlier with a Purcell melody from his opera Bonduca, but were married to a new tune for the 1713 volume. Walsh printed the tune in his Complete Country Dancing Master, vol. 2 (1736, p. 144).
