DESCRIPTION:
Hornpipe from Henry Purcell’s Abdelazer .
With film fragments from the film ‘Becoming Jane’ like the famous dance scene with Anne Hathaway & James Mcavoy (as Jane Austen & Thomas Lefroy) at Lady Gresham's Ball. A movie directed by Julian Jarrold, based on the life of Jane Austen. In this video you can hear an accordion version played by Jo Brunenberg on a custom built Vignoni Bach Compact Accordion with free bass. One of the ten movements of Henry Purcell’s ‘Abdelazer Suite’.
The dance connected to the Hornpipe was the so called "Hole in the wall".

Abdelazer (also spelled Abdelazar) or The Moor's Revenge is a 1676 play by Aphra Behn, an adaptation of the c. 1600 tragedy Lust's Dominion. The composer Henry Purcell wrote incidental music (Z 570) for a revival in the Summer of 1695, with movements:
1. Ouverture
2. Rondeau
3. Air
4. Air
5. Minuet
6. Air
7. Jig
8. Hornpipe ('Hole in the Wall' dance)
9. Air
10. A song entitled: "Lucinda Is Bewitching Fair"

The hornpipe is any of several dance forms played and danced in Britain and Ireland and elsewhere from the 17th century until the present day. The earliest references to hornpipes are from England and refer to Lancashire hornpipes in 1609 and 1613.
It is suggested that hornpipe as a dance began around the 16th century on English sailing vessels. However, this is urban myth as the dance does not seem to have become associated with sailors until after 1740 when the dancer Yates performed 'a hornpipe in the character of a Jack Tar' at Drury Lane Theatre, after which, in 1741 at Covent Garden we hear of 'a hornpipe by a gentleman in the character of a sailor.' Movements were those familiar to sailors of that time: "looking out to sea" with the right hand to the forehead, then the left, lurching as in heavy weather, and giving the occasional rhythmic tug to their breeches both fore and aft.

Becoming Jane is a 2007 British-Irish historical biographical film directed by Julian Jarrold. It depicts the early life of the English author Jane Austen and her lasting love for Thomas Langlois Lefroy. American actress Anne Hathaway stars as the titular character, while her romantic interest is played by Scottish actor James McAvoy. Also appearing in the film are Julie Walters, James Cromwell and Maggie Smith. The film was produced in cooperation with several companies, including Ecosse Films and Blueprint Pictures. It also received funding from the Irish Film Board and the UK Film Council Premiere Fund.
The film is partly based on the 2003 book Becoming Jane Austen by Jon Hunter Spence, who was also hired as historical consultant. The final screenplay, developed by Sarah Williams and Kevin Hood, pieced together some known facts about Austen into a coherent story, in what co-producer Graham Broadbent called "our own Austenesque landscape." According to Hood, he attempted to weave together "what we know about Austen's world from her books and letters," and believed Austen's personal life was the inspiration for Pride and Prejudice. Jarrold began production of the film in early 2006, opting to shoot primarily in Ireland as he found it had better-preserved locations than Hampshire, England, where Austen was raised.
