NEW CORN RIGGS. AKA and see "Corn Riggs (are Bonny)," "Northern Song (1)." Scottish, English, Country Dance Tune or Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears under this title in the Newbattle manuscript, entitled "Lessones for ye violin," c. 1680, and as "A Northern Song" in Playford's Choice Ayres (1681). It is the vehicle for the song "Sawney was tall and of noble race" in D'Urfey's play The Virtuous Wife in London in 1680.
