Subject: RE: Tune Origins: Bar a Bar
It comes from Walsh's "24 New Country Dances for the year 1718." I believe Walsh took over the Playford music publishing business, and published the later editions of The Dancing Master. Many of these old tunes have been revived for reconstructions of the original dance or new Playford-style dances.
