Gathering Peascods

Barndance · 4/4 · G major

Gathering Peascods is an English country dance tune that was first published by John Playford in his 1651 collection The Dancing Master. Set in G major and 4/4 meter, the tune is traditionally associated with a lively and playful circle dance where participants mime the picking of pea pods. Because its exact earlier folk origins remain uncertain, the melody is best known through its enduring presence in the early English renaissance dance revival.
