Charles says "This dance derives from the dance 'Southwind', published by the late Cor Hogendijk in 1973 to a tune from Purcell's 'King Arthur'. Unfortunately, the instructions, as he gave them, defy performance, and a simplified version is available (see Purcell's Dancing Master by Nicholas Broadbridge). This is an attempt of mine to reconstruct the dance in the spirit of the original."
