NOWILL HILLS [1]. AKA and see "Friday Night," "Love Neglected." English, Country Dance Tune (2/2 time). D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The country dance directions ("Longways for as many as will") and tune were first printed by London publsher Henry Playford in the 12th edition of his Dancing Master [1] [2] (1703). It was retained in the long-running Dancing Master series in each edition through the 18th and final edition of 1728 (then published by Henry's successor, John Young). It also appears in Walsh & Hare's The Compleat Country Dancing Master (1718, p. 350). Beginning with the 14th edition of the Dancing Master (1709), "Love Neglected" was added as an alternate title.

Cecil Sharp employed the tune of "Of Noble Race was Shenkin" for the dance Nowill Hills, apparently preferring it to Playford's original tune. See "Nowill Hills (2)" for that listing.
