Mulberry Garden, The

Jig · 6/8 · D minor

The Mulberry Garden, The is an old English tune that first appeared in print in the 1670 edition of John Playford's Dancing Master, associated with a contemporary comedy by Sir Charles Sedley. Set in D minor with a 6/8 meter, this jig has a lively yet somewhat plaintive character typical of seventeenth-century modal dance music. Because precise earlier origins are uncertain, the tune is best known through its enduring popularity in the English country dance revival tradition.
