Notes
1
This is really Tom Senior's dance 'Madeira Dream (usually done to the tune Godesses in 2/2), but altered slightly to fit Clark’s Hornpipe in 3/2.

As the music is in 3/2 there are 3 steps to each bar

The tune was published by John Walsh (1730) in The Third Book of the most celebrated jiggs, Lancashire hornpipes, Scotch and Highland lilts, Northern frisks, Morris's and Cheshire rounds with hornpipes the bagpipe manner, to which is added the Black Joak, the White Joak, the Brown, the Red, and the Yellow Joaks. With variety of whims and fancies of diff'rent humour, fitted to the genious of publick performers.
