Buildings in Harliquin (The)

 BUILDINGS IN HARLIQUIN, THE. English, Jig. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in the 1770 music manuscript collection of Northumbrian musician William Vickers, about whom unfortunately nothing is known. There were numerous tunes with the name 'Harlequin' in the title, presumably deriving from the popularity of James Ralph's Harlequin's Opera (1730), however, whether there is a direct connection is not known.
