480 jigs, reels, strathspeys, hornpipes, polkas, marches, minuets, waltzes and other pieces This book is a collection of dance music drawn from manuscript sources from Cumbria mostly written down between 1750 and 1850. These tunes consist mainly of jigs, reels and hornpipes which have been selected for their quality and because many seem to be locally composed, being found nowhere else.
