Publisher: P. Siris (French-born dancing master active in London in the early Hanoverian period; published English-market Feuillet-notation dances) / London, [1712].

Full title: 'The New English Passepied; Mr. Siris's new dance for the year 1712. The tune by Mr. C. Dieupart.' Single-dance Feuillet-style engraved-notation publication. Continues the English-Feuillet tradition established by Weaver's 1706 Collection (Isaac dances, LOC-1706-WEAVER-ISAAC), the 1709-1715 Mr. Isaac Birthday Dances (LOC-1709-ISAAC), Pemberton's 1711 Essay (LOC-1711-PEMBERTON), and preceded by the Essex 1715 Further Improvement (LOC-1715-ESSEX) and Weaver's 1721 Anatomical Lectures (LOC-1721-WEAVER-ANATOMICAL). Siris is a distinct figure from Mr. Isaac (Queen's Maître de Dance), Pemberton (the English Feuillet-advocate), and Essex (the English Feuillet-translator) — adding a new composer-dancing-master to the early-18c English-Feuillet corpus. The Passepied genre (triple-time light French court dance, cousin of the Minuet; see also LOC-1728-DUFORT Passepied H-BAR-BRA-F0017 and LOC-1900-DESRAT Le Passepied H-BAR-BRA-F0016) was an established Baroque form; Siris contributes an English-language new-composition within this form. Music by Charles Dieupart (French-born English composer, fl. 1700-1740, collaborator of Handel).
