TURK AND NO TURK. English, Jig (6/8 time). England, Shropshire. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Turk and No Turk was a musical comedy that opened in the Little Theatre in the Haymarket in 1985 with a libretto by George Colman the Younger (1762-1836) to music by Samuel Arnold (1740-1802). The tune (as "Turk or no Turk") was entered in the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Winter, a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset.
