Jack's Maggot

Barndance · 4/4 · D major

Jack's Maggot is an English country dance tune that first appeared in print in the eleventh edition of John Playford's Dancing Master published in 1701. The tune is typically played in a bright, lively style suited for traditional social dancing in 4/4 meter. Because the original composer is not recorded, its early history remains tied primarily to the Playford publication and the evolution of Baroque English country dance choreography.
