Heartsease
Heartsease is an English traditional tune dating to the late sixteenth century and appears in sources such as John Playford's Dancing Master. Written in three-two meter and G dorian mode, it has a stately and measured character suited to Renaissance court and country dancing. Because specific historical associations beyond its popularity in early modern playhouses and dance manuals are uncertain, its enduring appeal rests on its graceful melodic counterpoint.
