The English Dancing Master, first published by John Playford in 1651, is an anthology of top tunes from the 17th century. Used for country dancing, but also for ballad settings and artful concert pieces, these are melodies that set a-tapping the toes of Charles II, Henry Purcell and Samuel Pepys. — Mary Anne Ballard

A brand new recording (Spring 1996) with mostly dance tunes -- some of the tempos may not be what you’re used to but don’t be afraid to experiment: add a little courtly grace to a country dance and you get a whole new feel! . — lochac.sca.org
