With a cast of ageing cuckolds and young head-strong wives, knavish clowns, roaring soldiers and country bumpkins, jigs often followed as afterpieces at London's playhouses, and were performed at fairs, in villages and in private houses. Troublesome to the authorities, they drew the crowds by offering a lively antidote to more sober theatrical fare. \u003cbr\u003e This performance edition presents for the first time nine examples of English dramatic jigs from the late sixteenth century through to the Restoration; the scripts are re-united as far as possible with their original tunes. It gives a comprehensive history, discusses sources, plots, instrumentation and dancing, and offers practical information on staging jigs today.\u003cbr\u003e Includes: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Transcriptions of the original texts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Contextual notes: plot synopses and discussion of sources, themes and audience reception\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Musical notation for each tune, with suggestions for underlay and chords, and notes on instrumention and style\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Appendix of dance instructions and reconstructions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoger Clegg \u003c\/b\u003eis senior lecturer in drama studies at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. \u003cb\u003eLucie Skeaping\u003c\/b\u003e presents \u003ci\u003eThe Early Music Sho\u003c\/i\u003ew each week on BBC Radio 3.
