*Notes: From TheSession.org: “This tune is best known as La Mantovana, notated in (among other sources) Il Solaro by Gasparo Zanetti (fl. 1620s – 1645). John Playford included it in several publications, including later editions of The English Dancing-Master. The first section is also related to the principal theme from Smetana’s ‘The Moldau’ and the Israeli National Anthem ‘Hatikvah’.”
