Notes
Sources. This dance appears in all seven manuscripts as the fourth of the Old Measures. Music entitled “Tinternell” appears in the Dallis Lute Book, Trinity College, MS D 3.30, circa 1583.
Music. Pugliese and Casazza use the repeat structure 2 × (2A 2B 1C) which is the right length for the dance but which places the same tune against different steps in the second repeat. We recommend altering the repeat structure to match the structure of the dance, using (1A 2B 1C) for odd repeats and (3A 2B 1C) for even repeats.
Recordings. Dances from the Inns of Court: 2 and 4 repeats. Musick for Dauncinge: 4 repeats, nice tempo, decent sound, different repeat structure than we recommend.
