Tune of the Day: Windsor Forest
Traditional English tune
Windsor Forest was a royal forest that at one time covered most of Berkshire, England. The melody to this country dance tune was printed in numerous publications in the 18th century, such as David Rutherford's Choice Collection of Sixty of the Most Celebrated Country Dances (1750) and John Johnson's Two Hundred Favourite Country Dances.
