BRAYE'S MAGGOT. English, Jig (9/8 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Attributed to dancing master Thomas Bray, who created dances (and danced them!) for the theatrical stage. His collection was printed in 1699 by William Pearson, "Sold by Mr. Plaiford (i.e Henry Playford) at the Temple Change, Fleet Street," dedicated to Prince William, Duke of Gloucester. A 'maggot' was a small tune, a 'fancy' or 'trifle', from the Italian word magioletta, for 'plaything'.

Printed source: Barnes (English Country Dance Tunes, vol. 2), 2005; p. 15.
