QUAKER'S GRACE, THE. AKA and see "Resolution," "Round O (3) (A)." English, Country Dance Tune (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCD. The tune was published in Henry Playford's Dancing Master 13th edition (London, 1706, p. 357) as "The Resolution" with "The Quaker's Grace" given as the alternate title. The dance and its accompanying tune were retained in the long-running Dancing Master series of editions through the 18th and final edition of 1728. The piece was also published by rival London music publisher John Walsh in his Compleat Country Dancing Master of 1718 and 1731. The melody was entered into the c. 1694 music manuscript copybook of Northumbrian musician Henry Atkinson of Hartburn as "A Round O."
