TRIUMPH, THE. AKA - "Follow Your/My Lover(s)." English, Scottish; Country Dance Tune (2/4 or cut time) or Hornpipe (2/2 time). G Major (Karpeles, Kennedy, Raven, Sharp, Trim): A Major (Athole, Hunter, Kerr, Skye). Standard. AB (Raven): ABC (Kennedy): AABC (Hunter, Karpeles, Kerr, Sharp): AABBC (Athole, Skye): AABBCC (Trim). The English novelist Thomas Hardy (Return of the Native, The Mayor of Casterbridge) grew up in a musical family and was an accomplished dance fiddler and accordion player from early youth. He was influenced by his father (himself a locally famous dance fiddler), an uncle and a cello-playing grandfather, all of whom played for a church band in addition to more secular amusements. Hardy mentions both the dance and tune "The Triumph," the same one still known in modern time, in Under the Greenwood Tree (1872):
***
At five minutes to twelve the soft tuning was again heard in the
back quarters; and when at length the clock had whizzed forth
the last stroke, Dick appeared ready primed, and the instruments
were bolkly hankled; old William readily taking the bass-viol
from off its accustomed nail, and touching the strings as irreligiously
as could be desired. The country-dance called 'The Triumph, or
Follow My Lover', was the figure with which they opened. The
tranter took for his partner Mrs. Penny, and Mrs. Dewy was chosed
by Mr. Penny, who made so much of his limited height by a judicious
carriage of his head, straightening of the back, and important flashes
of his spectacle-glasses, that he seemed almost as tall as the tranter.
***
Allison Thompson (Dancing Through Time, 1998) describe the dance as one in which "the man leads, not his own partner, but his neighbor's partner down the length of the set, while her own partner follows jealously behind them. All three dancers then turn, and the lucky lady processes back to her place, while the two rival gentlemen hold hands in a triumphal arch over her head. The three-some figure of the dance mirrors the love triangle perfectly" (pg. 186).

The author of English Folk-Song and Dance found "Triumph" among the country dance melodies in the repertoire of fiddler William Tilbury (who lived at Pitch Place, midway between Churt and Thursley in Surrey), who used, in his young days, to play the fiddle at village dances. He had learned his repertoire from an uncle, Fiddler Hammond, who had been the village musician before him, and who died around 1870. The conclusion was that this and a number of dances of this type survived in English tradition (at least in southwest Surrey) well into the second half of the 19th century. The dance The Triumph was also a very popular country dance in Scotland, and a part of most country dancing masters' repertories in the 19th century.
