Jenny Pluck Pears

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

Jenny Pluck Pears is an English traditional jig that dates back to the seventeenth century and first appeared in print in the 1650 edition of John Playford's landmark collection The Dancing Master. Set in six-eight meter and the key of E minor, the tune features a lively and characteristic pastoral quality typical of early English country dance repertoire. Because specific details regarding its exact geographical origin and original composer are no longer established, its early history remains closely tied to the popularity of Playford's published dance manuals.
