"Morning Star", also known as "London Pride" is an English hornpipe, march or<br> morris dance tune in 4/4 time in F Major (Bacon) or G Major (Mallinson).<br> The parts are played AABB.<br> Barry Callaghan (2007) points out "there are many variants of this lovely tune, many in modal<br> forms and played as hornpipes, as morris tunes and even as airs". Versions appear in several<br> musicians' manuscripts of the 18th century, including Joshua Jackson, John Miller, John<br> Fife and G. Huddeswell. John Fife identified the tune as "a quickstep" or march.<br> William Hathaway of Lower Swell had the tune in his manuscript copybook as "London Pride".<br> Collector Cecil Sharp noted "Morning Star" from the playing of James Lock of Newent,<br> Gloucestershire. <br> The morris dance version was collected from the village of Bledington, in England's Cotswolds.<br> It was printed in Bacon's The Morris Ring (1974), Callaghan's Hardcore English (2007) and<br> Mallinson's Mally's Cotswold Morris Book (1988).<br> <br>
