Two english dance tunes by John Playford arranged for harp.
John Playford (1623–1686) was an English music publisher, bookseller, and composer, best known for his collection The English Dancing Master, first published in 1651. This influential work compiled numerous popular English country dances along with accompanying music, preserving folk dances that might otherwise have been lost. Playford's book became highly popular and saw multiple editions, contributing to the tradition of English country dance.
Mount Hills is characterized by energetic steps and figures, typical of what is often called a "country dance," where multiple dancers move in coordinated patterns. The agricultural feel of Mount Hills reflects the English tradition of celebrating the land and the labor connected to it.
One notable piece in The English Dancing Master is Parson's Farewell. This lively tune and dance was meant for pairs and features a playful yet elegant style that encourages interaction between partners. Parson's Farewell includes simple, repeated sequences that make it accessible and enjoyable for dancers of all skill levels, making it a favorite in historical dance reconstructions today.
