Coronation (The)

 CORONATION, THE. English, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title perhaps refers to the coronation of Hanoverian king George III, who ruled from 1760-1820. Some melodic material from the first strain is shared with "Duke of York (2) (The)." Printed source: Thompson (Compleat Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 2), 1765; No. 110.
