Thread Name: Abbot's Bromley Horn Dance Tune
Subject: RE: Abbot's Bromley Horn Dance Tune
Just ound this on Pete Cooper's site pertaining to the Aeolian mode jig in D minor:

"The dancers were accompanied, on my visit, by a fine melodeon player, but the tune given here has long fallen out of active use. Wheelwright Robinson, born in the 1790s, apparently told Robert Buckley that it had been used for the horn dance in his youth."
