Have rather fallen in love with this tune. Haven't found anyone on YouTube or other places playing it on melodeon. Does anyone ever play it?

..... Does anyone ever play it?

yes, though generally just a simple bass line on the melodeon

while the baroque recorder group weave 4 part harmonies ( alto, tenor and 2x soprano ) It's a lovely tune

I always get curious when tunes get mentioned without any clues as to what they sound like. Here's a recorder setting with dots

If it works the 4 part plus bass line should be below

often I just hold one bass note for most of the bar pulsing it gently
