TRUE BRITON [2], THE. English, Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune under this title appears unique in published form to London publisher Charles and Samuel Thompson’s 1765 country dance collection. However, it had widespread currency under the titles “Seven Stars” or “Moon and Seven Stars” on both sides of the Atlantic.
