PORTABELLA. English, Country Dance Tune (4/4 time). G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody and dance instructions ("Longways for as many as will") date to 1718 when it was first printed in London publisher John Young's Second Volume of the Dancing Master [1] (3rd edition) of 1718 (it also appears in Young's 4th edition of 1728). John Walsh published it in his own Second Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master (1719). See also the similarly-titled “Porto Bello.”
