THREE COUNTRY DANCES

Can you afford to miss out on this delightful set of pieces, with its fascinating backstory?
The set contains one reel in common time (Lady Mary Montagus Reel); one jig in 6/8 (Ruffs and Rhees); and one dance in 6/8 time which is more ambivalent in character – partly owing to the large leaps in the melody line, which suggest a more sustained tempo (Mungos Delight).
Lady Mary Montagu was the daughter of John Montagu, second Duke of Montagu, whose wife had been Lady Mary Churchill. The present-day Ranger's House & Rose Garden in Greenwich Park, London, were previously part of the Montagu House Estate. The Montagus welcomed Sancho into their home as their servant/slave in his young adulthood, and taught him music. A legacy from the Duchess of Montagu enabled Sancho later to purchase property and set up his shop in Mayfair.
The approach taken in this arrangement is to create basic ornaments for the repeat, to include an A-section recapitulation - sometimes at a faster speed - and to create the kind of chordal, finishing flourish which would have been common after many repetitions of the material. This indicated that the dance was over. N.B. performers can repeat the main sections as often as desired - as would have happened at a ball!
