"Portsmouth" is a traditional English folk dance tune, similar to an (Irish or Scottish) hornpipe melody. It is sometimes referred to as the ''Portsmouth Hornpipe''. "Portsmouth" appeared in the 11th edition of John Playford's ''The Dancing Master'' in 1701.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tunes from Playford's Dancing Master )〕 It is also one of the three arrangements on which English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams based his ''Sea Songs'', originally arranged for military band in 1923 as the second movement of his ''English Folk Song Suite'',〔Timothy Reynish, notes for ''British Wind Band Classics'', Chandos Records 9697, 1999〕 and subsequently re-arranged for full orchestra in 1942 by the composer.〔Philip Lane, notes for ''British Light Miniatures'', Naxos 8.570332 (released 2007)〕 In the 1950s it was used as the signature tune for BBC television series of ''Billy Bunter''. In 1976 English musician Mike Oldfield released his arrangement of "Portsmouth". It is Oldfield's highest charting single in the United Kingdom, charting at number 3.
