NEWS FROM TRIPOLY. English, Country Dance Tune (3/2 time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody and dance instructions were first printed in 1702 by Henry Playford in the Dancing Master, supplement to the 11th edition. It was retained in the long-running series through the 18th and final edition of 1728, then printed by John Young, heir to the Playford publishing concerns. "News from Tripoly" also appears in Walsh & Hare's The Compleat Country Dancing Master (1718, and in later editions by John Walsh, father and son, of 1731 and 1754).
