Product Description

The Shepherd's Daughter is an English Country Dance tune that made its first appearance in the 2nd edition of Playford's Dancing Master, which was published in 1652. The structure is AA'BB'CC'; the repeats are written out. I've arranged this tune as a duo and added slurs, ornaments, and slight melodic alterations. The melody is in the upper part throughout. The Shepherd's Daughter can be played on two violins or flute (recorder) and violin. In the audio sample provided here, it is performed on violin and recorder. The Shepherd's Daughter makes a beautiful and unique wedding processional and could combine effectively with other music from the Romantic Playford series. The Shepherd's Daughter will be enjoyed by the student seeking an interesting recital piece that is not out of reach for the young violinist.
