Jack Come Kiss Me Now

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Jack Come Kiss Me Now is a traditional English tune that first appeared in print during the early seventeenth century in John Playford's seminal collection The Dancing Master. Set in G major with a 4/4 meter, the melody functions as a lively hornpipe characterized by a cheerful and energetic rhythmic drive well-suited for historic social dancing. Because its exact earlier folk origins remain uncertain, the tune is best known through its widespread seventeenth-century popularity in English instrumental and dance repertoires.
