Description

This is a traditional English folk dance tune. It was first published in Playford’s The English Dancing Master (1651).

This was a collection of country dance tunes & songs and is still used today as a regular source of material for folk musicians.

Jock McKenzie studied trumpet at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester where he was a joint recipient of the college’s concerto prize. Since 1987 Jock has based his musical career in Hampshire, working as a freelance trumpeter, conductor, composer, arranger and brass teacher. Currently Jock holds the position of Professional Leader (Brass) for Hampshire Music Service and is the Director of the Hampshire County Youth Band. It is the mix of all of these musical roles that has led to Jock establishing a reputation as a leading creator of brass music resources, particularly in the field of education and brass ensemble music.

“All cleverly arranged and beautifully played, with excellent sonics.”
