Attributed to the legendary Irish harper Turlough O’Carolan (1670–1738), The Princess Royal was a popular country dance in eighteenth-century England and still runs through the Morris tradition, often in the major. It was enlisted as a patriotic anti-French theatre air during the Napoleonic Wars, and made its way into the sea shanty canon (take away the harmony and you may recognise a familiar tune from the Last Night of the Proms).

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance.
Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
