LADY BANBURY'S HORNPIPE. English, Country Dance Tune (3/2 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). B (Sharp): AAB (Barnes). The melody dates to 1657 when it appeared in the third edition of Playford's The Dancing Master. Cecil Sharp (1909) notes that John Playford printed the tune in duple (2/2) time (two six-bar phrases). Sharp altered the tune to place it in triple time (two four-bar phrases) "in order that the rhythm of the music might be brought into accord with that of the dance movements."
