Back to Winchester Wedding (2) (The)

WINCHESTER WEDDING [2], THE. English, Country Dance Tune and Air (3/2 time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). A very popular country dance tune and song air. The melody was first published in John Playford's Dancing Master, 7th edition (1679) and was retained in all subsequent editions through the 18th and final issue of 1728 (then published by John Young). With the 14th edition of 1709 the alternate title "King's Jig" was appended. The melody was also published by the Walshes in The Compleat Country Dancing Master, editions of 1718, 1731 and 1754. London musician Thomas Hammersley entered it into his 1790 music manuscript copybook collection as "Winchester Wedding, or Lankershire Witches."
