The "Glory of the West" is an English country dance in cut time and G Minor. It appears in Playford's English Dancing Master, from the first edition of 1651 through the 18th edition of 1728, then published by John Young. Playford also included it in his A Booke of New Lessons for the Cithern & Gittern (1652), Musick's Delight on the Cithren (1666), and Musick's Handmaid (1678). Walsh published it in all three editions of The Compleat Country Dancing Master (1718, 1735, 1754). It was known to Welsh harpers as "Blodeu'r Gorllewin" or "Blote'r Gorllewin" (Flowers of the West). It was also printed in Chappell's Popular Music of the Olden Time (1859) and Sharp's Country Dance Tunes (1909). It was recorded by The New York Renaissance Band on Country Capers (1984).
