John Playford published The English Dancing Master in 1651. This monumental work featured the music for the tunes as well as instructions for performing the dances. This curated collection contains 37 of the tunes from the Playford book, arranged for two players. The melodies are on the top stave, and the harmony/backup is on the bottom stave. You can perform the melody as a solo if you're all by yourself. Duo arrangements of these tunes, in the same keys, are available for violin (514-78) as well. Also includes chord symbols in case you have a guitar or ukulele handy. Comb-bound.
