PORTABELLA. English, Country Dance Tune (4/4 time). G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody and dance instructions date to 1718 when it was first printed in London publisher John Young's Second Volume of the Dancing Master [1] (3rd edition) of 1718 (it also appears in Young's 4th edition of 1728). John Walsh published it in his own Second Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master (1719). See also the similarly-titled “Porto Bello.”
