Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
Also known as "The New Bouree".<br> The melody appears in the 9th edition of Playford's Dancing Master (1695) and<br> was retained through the 18th and final edition of 1728. The title is probably<br> taken from the semi-opera The Indian Queen by John Dryden and Sir Robert Howard,<br> music by Henry Purcell, staged in 1694. It was first produced<br> as a play in 1664, but was revived and expanded with additional songs and<br> incidental music by Purcell. It is not known if the melody Playford published<br> was used in the opera. The title refers to one of the main characters of the play,<br> the Aztec queen Zempoalla, and the play is set in the courts of Mexico and Peru. <br> It was also printed in Karpeles & Schofield's A Selection of 100 English<br> Folk Dance Airs (1951) and Sharp's Country Dance Tunes (1909).<br> It was recorded on The English Country Dancing Master, vol 2 by The Telemann Society.<br>
