Hi Dave,
in haste - we have a mad w/e coming up & rehearsing like crazy - thanks
greatly for this. I had a quick look & it deserves a lot longer
reading, which I'm going to enjoy later on.
Best wishes,
Richard.

The link is on google books and is about hornpipes, but may help
towards a part answer to your question, have a look at the book "essays
in musicology ---page 150"

I was listening recently to a trio playing 17th/18th Cent. divisions on
La Folia on the radio, and was struck afresh by how similar are some of
the things appearing in the nsp variations.
(And yet different.)[Special aside for "Round the Horn" listeners :) ]
Divisions on viols or recorders were normally played with at least a
bass, and/or a harpsichord or whatever, and our variations/divisions
must come out of the same culture in the first place, whether it's
later a parallel or a parent-child type development to get to where
Peacock's sets arrived.
So, given that pipes are generally thought of as a solo instrument,
(correct me if not!) do we know at what stage of development the
divorce from the continuo or ground bass instrument actually happened?
Assuming it did.
Do the smallpipes with their variations repertoire first appear having
already made the musical separation, or was there any practice of
playing them over a ground?
(Please note, this *is* on topic!)
Best wishes,
Richard.
