Longways, duple minor AI 1-4 AI 1-4 AI 1-4 AI 1-4 Note on the dance: Apollo and Daphne and Flora and Phaon are the first two dances in this Walsh collection and form part of a group of 15 dances, mostly named after the gods, goddesses, heroes and heroines of Greek and Roman mythology. They are the only dances in this collection of 355 dances not previously published in the 16 edition of The Dazzcing-Master by Pearson and Young in 1716 and are presumably the dances referred to by Walsh in his Note at the foot of the Alphabetical Table that “The Masquerade Dances are contain'd in the first Section” — having promised on his title page, “Great Variety of Dances, both Old and New; Particularly Those perform'd at the several Masquerades”. Eight of the dances are newly published and include the two dances in this book and Coridon and Phillis in Rebecca King's Nearer & Farther {California, 2014, p.14); the other seven are from Nathaniel Kynaston's annual collections for 1716 and 1717, all under new titles, and include The Laughing Vicar, also in this book, and Love in a Hop-Yard, Kind and Easey and The Merry Conclusion from my earlier books.
