@@wendysinclair-smith984 The Playford-Dances were forgotten after the 1720s. In the time of the novels from Austen were other dance-collection in the taste of the time: the dances from Preston, Thompson, Cahusac etc.
@@thomaskurth8335 was this the only dance collection? I started looking up more info on this subject and it turns out his (Playford's) dances were old and new, some from 100 years previous to that time. If dances from 100 years in the past were still in circulation, which he wrote down for posterity, then in my mind it's conceivable that 100 years plus later, they could still be favorites to someone and still be in use somewhere. As to the Maggots, I do wonder if this particular one is mentioned in Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Somehow I doubt it. That being said, I'm grateful for the BBC's choice of this melody. I've been listening to the other Maggots (which I now understand to signify how the people look while winding around each other :p...) and find them to be less moving than Mr. Beverage's. I find it electrifies the scene. I think the staff of Pride and Prejudice by the BBC did do their research and found us the perfect and appropriate tune to set the stage of a most delightfully antagonistic and cerebral interaction between these two beauties.
The Playford-Collections were published from 1651 to 1728 in many editions, but not longer than 1720s, because there were other dance-collections then, from other publishers.
@@thomaskurth8335 I am astonished, so much as to say WOW! This is amazing. I just opened up Johnson volume 8 where there are 200 tunes and dances. How anyone arrived at Mr. Beverage's Maggot I dare say, had to do a lot of hunting. This site is truly a treasure trove of tunes. I thank you for this link and am looking forward to dancing some of these or other country dances when this quarantine is over. It has quite lifted my spirits to imagine doing some of these dances. Perhaps at Fezziwigs during Dickens Faire or a PEERS Ball in the not too distant future. And as to BBC using a dance possibly not of this era, there is a certain license they took to make this work of fiction into another work of cinematic wonder. Thank you kindly for your comment and replies to mine. It's given me an opportunity to enjoy this BBC production even more, knowing of the vastness of other tunes to become acquainted with. It reminds me of the modern era's Hit Parade. Tah
I don't care what other people think; this will always be my favorite version of Pride & Prejudice.
Mine too.
Mr. Wickham disliked this video because it plays during Elizabeth and Darcy's first dance.
Lol..
yes he did!
Apparently followed by Lady Catherine de Burgh and...eh. Probably Mary.
Disgraceful scoundrel. His name is never mentioned in our house. He needs a damn good horsewhipping and sending to His Majesty's Colonies.
What an elegant time. As a Regency Gentleman I have to say this brings happy memories of youth.
All time favorite of mine. Literally makes my heart happy. Thank you
Спасибо огромнейшее! Обожаю такой стиль классики. Покорнейше Вам благодарю!
Wow, I looove this - it lifts my spirits!💕💕💕
Great video BTW.. my sister has been hunting for this song for ages (she's a huge p+p fan) and she's really happy she's found it...
p+p?
Such a beautiful piece of music.
Op deze melodie heb ik ook ,in de jaren zestig en zeventig gedanst!
¡Dios que pieza tan hermosa! ¡Gracias! ¡Gracias por compartirla!
Million percent LOVE this 💘
The Presbyterian Hornpipe follows well after Mr Beveridge's Maggot
¡Dios mío que hermoso! ¡Gracias por compartirla!
The best rendition was on the mini series pride and prejudice.
Magical music
Op deze melodie heb ik ook in de jaren zestig en zeventig, op volksdansen geleerd!
is there sheet music available for this please? thank you for uploading I've been hunting for this for such a long time
Can anyone tell me what is the name of the previous song when Elizabeth dancing with her cousin Mr.Colins please?
Chloe Chen it’s called “comical fellow” I think!
The Shrewsbury Ladies
Shrewsbury Lasses
May I know what's the name of this music?
Mr Beveridge's Maggot is the name.
Para los que estamos acá por el libro "Quién diablos eres tu?"
who plays/arranged this version?
Sounds like Bare Necessities to me.
But "Mr.Beveridge´s Maggot" (1695!!) is not a dance of the "Jane Austen-Era", this is a fiction by the BBC.
if dance came before novel then it existed at the time of the novel and people had plenty of time to learn it, lol.
