WILLOW, WILLOW [1]. English, Ballad Air (3/2 time). G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. This sixteenth century air appears in a MS in the British Museum of c. 1600. Shakespeare makes use of the song in the fourth act of Othello (though he made changes in language to fit a female gender character).
