Back to Parthenia (2)

PARTHENIA [2]. AKA and see "Faine/Fain I Would," "King's Complaint (The)." English, Air and Country Dance Tune (6/4 or 6/8 time). G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The melody was printed by London publisher John Playford (1623-1686) in the first edition of his English Dancing Master (1651) with "Faine I Would" as the primary title, and "Parthenia" as the alternate title. Another tune called "Parthenia" appeared in later editions of the Dancing Master (see "Parthenia (3)"). The title probably refers to the first published work for the keyboard, called Parthenia [1], dating to around 1612. It contains compositions by three famous English composers: William Byrd, Dr. John Bull and Orlando Gibbons, who wrote for the virginal, an early form of the piano.
