"Trenchmore" appears to be a type of dance (like waltz, polka) rather
than a particular dance. The version in the Terp book is the one I've
seen most often in the SCA. We danced it at Shadowlands' event a
couple weeks ago.

When we have a live band, they usually play "Tomorrow the Fox will
Come to Town." I'm not sure which version of Playford first used this
tune for the dance. In Ansteorra, when using a recording, this is the
one we use (Shazam identified it as The Crickard Brothers):

Since you aren't dancing to the phrase anyway, the music really
doesn't matter much for this dance.
