I came across this tune when Norman Hayes introduced a dance called Corelli's Maggot in a session of dances at Halsway Manor last year. The dance was new from America and was set to an adaptation of the Gavot from Corelli's Sonata Opus 5 of 1700. Now the dance published by Wright, or as Playford has it Mr Cosgill's Delight, used the Gavot from Corelli's Trio Sonata Opus 2 of 1685. It did not seem unreasonable to try the dance to the later tune. A turn single has been added at the beginning of each A music and a set and turn single at the start of the B2. The version of the tune is I believe how Arcangelo Corelli wrote it.
