MANCHESTER. German. Boehme states that the tune is an "old folk dance, and, since 1868, a modern Salon dance." The tune turned up in southwestern Pennsylvania where Bayard collected it as an untitled marching tune [Bayard 1981]. He suspects it has had international currency, perhaps being brought to the state by German settlers.
