SELPH, THE. AKA and see "Self [3], The." English, Reel or Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "The Selph" was entered in the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Winter (1774-1861), a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset, southwest England. The tune was also entered in English musicians manuscripts often as an untitled tune; it can be found thus in the John Buttery (Lincolnshire, early 19th century), Thomas Sands (Lincolnshire, 1810), and R. Hughes (Shropshire, 1823) collections.
