LOVE IN A VILLAGE [3]. AKA and see "Broom's Reel," "Duke of Perth." English, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. There are several unrelated tunes called "Love in a Village," which takes its name from a 1762 ballad opera by Arne and Bickerstaff (see Annotation:Love in a Village (1). The tune appears in a music manuscript by John Jackson, c. 1760. It has also been called "Lord Rockingham's Reel" and "Scamdens Cade," among other titles (see note for "Annotation:Duke of Perth"). Lord Rockingham was the builder and first occupier of Wentworth Woodhouse, an 18th century mansion in Sussex. The reel appears in the Hardy family manuscripts (Dorset, mid-19th century) as "Love in a Village," but a version can also be found in the same source under the title "Duke of Riff's Reel" (i.e. 'Duke of Perth's').
