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