I have completed Version 1 of my Playford book. Currently it has scaned sheet music from a 1933 edition but that will soon get replaced with newly typeset music. It is around 5M of Postscript and I'll have a zipped version on my web page. The source is in Word Perfect 7.0 for Windows 95 and will be available. It is the text of the 1651 edition with some songs reordered to fit it into the minimum number of 8.5 * 11 pages (57). ie 2 to 3 songs per page I have the entire Pennsice 25 music book typed into Noteworthy Composer. So, if you're in the SCA; I can freely distribute this to you; or most of it; or something like that. Details to be worked out. All of that music should wind up in the Cynnabar dance book or that which can be freely distributed within the SCA. I have an augmented & updated Cynnabar dance book as well. It is in Word Perfect 7.0 for Windows 95. It stands at 38 pages with 2 logical pages (4.5" * 7") per physical page. I'm hoping that these updates will work in concert with Cynnabar. I have recently started entering most of the Phaedria Pennsic music collection. This will take a while and I've been finding mistakes and having difficulties. I'm not sure about distributation right now and hopefully I'll hear from her soon. I'd like to see that music also make it into the Cynnabar book. Is anyone using the guitar cords from the Phaedria d'Aurillac arrangments? I have not been entering them but it would not be a problem. So, if you're in need of an hour or two of dance music playing on your computer; I'll have it soon enough. My hope is that the Phaedria arrangements can make it back into the Pennsic pile. As it happens we may just be able to offer it on a CD ROM with postscript for printing along with some recordings an/or original sheet music in Noteworthy format. I still have a digitized version of Canario on my web page and ftp site. ftp://ece.uwaterloo.ca/pub/jpeg/music http://ece.uwaterloo.ca/~praetzel/music.html The music was entered into Noteworthy Composer and played using a Gravis sound card using the built-in instruments. - Eric ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Sun, 01 Dec 1996 08:24:04 PST Sender: owner-ecd-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Date: Sun, 01 Dec 1996 11:22:57 -0500 (EST) From: Gene Murrow <71332.2116-AT- CompuServe.COM> Reply-To: ECD-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Subject: Pinewoods URL To: ECD list Message-ID: <961201162256_71332.2116_GHL77-1-AT- CompuServe.COM> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Mike Richardson has been maintaining a Web page for the CDSS at cdss.org, containing sub-pages for Pinewoods and other summer programs, among other things.

(http://www.nerc.com/~dupre/Pinewoods.html) Of course there will be some overlap since CDSS runs many, but not all, weeks at Pinewoods. The Pinewoods dance and music weeks have always (in my memory) been advertised by both organizations in print, so why not on the WWW? However, PCI does not handle registrations for the weeks, and sends one to the sponsoring organization (CDSS in this case). I don't think there is any danger of redundancy.

This year, because Thanksgiving fell so late, we were able to enjoy the 11th annual Wassail! performance. This year's performance was given in a more concert-like format, having moved out of a theater and into a museum space. The singing was great and varied. The dancing, by the London Playford Group was just wonderful, as was the Cotswold Morris and Sword dancing presented. The Playford Group presented: Epping Forest, The Guinea Pig, Cats Cradle, and Picking Up Sticks. I thought they did a wonderful job presenting these dances, having done a minimum of stylistic changes and good performance decisions. AND they all looked like they were having a great time, cuz they were! I think they hit Gene Murrow's performance points pretty well - they really knew the material and they really sold it to the audience.

I've talked about this on the Playford list before. The Mellors/Bridgewater 1933, or thereabouts, version of Playford's dancing master has too many errors to be useful. Useful in any fashion for any purpose. Not only is the music drawn from more than one edition (I'm at work, away from my sources, alas), I think think the first, the fourth, and the seventh. In comparing them, I doubt if he used the first very much. After you've read Thurston Dart's work on editing older music you'll see why this early attempt (in the history of musicology) is just that: an attempt. The work is a historical curiosity; nothing more. Sorry to rain on your parade, but the more lousy work gets disseminated (sp?) and believed, the more lousy work we get in return. forbes/baker university ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Tue, 03 Dec 1996 10:08:52 PST Sender: owner-ecd-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Date: Tue, 03 Dec 1996 13:07:48 -0500 From: Aaron Hayden Reply-To: ECD-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Subject: Floors I have known and built To: 'Jim Mieczkowski' CC: Aaron Hayden Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It was a pleasure to see you briefly in Brattleboro and I wish I could have spent more time bending your ear with my floor experiences. Recently I have installed 2 resilient floors, one for a modern dance studio the other for the basketball gymnasium. Both floors were supplied by Robbins Sport Surfaces (Al Shields, 617 272-9963) and are different versions of their Bio-Channel II and were installed over concrete. This floor is a high-tech version of the floor mounted on handballs or tires and they are wonderful (and more expensive at about $10 per SqrFt). The basketball court is finished in Maple (of course) and the players really like it. (We had two serious knee injuries last season that were likely to have been caused by the concrete/vinyl floor of the gym. A rich alumn got wind of this and asked for The Best Floor so he could have it installed in the gym with his name on it.) The dance studio has a synthetic finish designed for modern dance, My Morris team was thrown out of the studio because our sneakers were deemed too hard on this soft finish material (shades of Brattleboro). The specifications for the Robbins floors, there are many versions, are ASTM 355-78 (Dynamic shock test), JIS (Japanese International Standard), and (according to the robbins literature the most universal) DIN standard 18032 Part II. I will not copy the volumes of literature Robbins sent me you can get your own though in essence shock absorbtion, restoration, the size of the depression and the surface friction are all measured measured and standards set. The next floor I will be involved with is C#, surprise ( I think I mentioned this in the dance line). This floor is a very few years away from needing to be replaced. The biggest problem I knew of with this floor was its noise. Dancing feet a the open drum this floor makes is significant competition for even a greatly amplified band. I would like to see your design for a sprung floor in hopes that it can be acoustically decoupled from the existing floor. I am exploring the Bio-Channel II or similar floor to be applied directly over the exisiting floor partly because of the acoustical isolation and partly for is resiliency.

Pinewoods will host 13 sessions next summer. Only 7 of them will be sponsored by CDSS. There has always been confusion as to relationship of Pinewoods with its user groups. Basically, the user groups hire the program staff and run the programs, while renting the camp from Pinewoods Camp Inc. P.C.I. maintains the facility and provides the meals. As Diane said: "The Pinewoods dance and music weeks have always (in my memory) been advertised by both organizations in print, so why not on the WWW?". I don't believe that there are any more redundancies in the Web pages than have inevitably been in the printed materials. I like to think that there is much "value added" by the Pinewoods page. Sue insists that I tell you that the Pinewoods page has "lovely maps" not available from CDSS. -Bob ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Wed, 04 Dec 1996 15:12:29 PST Sender: owner-ecd-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Date: Wed, 04 Dec 1996 18:04:58 -0800 From: Jim Mieczkowski Reply-To: ECD-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Subject: Re: Floors I have known and built To: ECD-AT- SSRL04.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU Message-ID: <32A62DCA.E30-AT- snet.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit References: The Robbins floor sounds as though it is well suited for a retrofit, while my solution is presently geared for new installations. With time, I'm sure a retrofit solution could be devised. You know, I think we're discussing two different types of resiliency, local and global. A local resiliency is when a floor deforms a certain amount directly under a load, but does not deform at all a few feet away. A second load nearby would produce a second small depression, but would not cause any further movement at the first load. A Global resiliency is one where a floor does not deform so much under a single load, but will deform nearly twice as much if a second load is placed nearby. A third load nearby would further increase the deflection at the first load, and so on. It sounds as though the Robbins floor tends toward local resiliency, while the type of solution that I proposed would tend towards global resiliency. Also, I would guess that a floor mounted on handballs would be locally sprung. I don't know where a hall on tires would fall. My experience with a hall in Enfield, Connecticut mounted on tires was negative. The floor moved all right, but not the way I expect a floor to move. I didn't feel comfortable. When dancers talk about a sprung floor, I believe most have a global sprung floor in mind, as there are more of that type available in our old halls. A Scottish ball at the Mechanics hall in Worchester comes to mind, wherein the whole floor deflects together. This giant trampoline effect is not so noticable at English dances. When deciding what to do with C#, it would be good to collect dancers preferences as to type of resiliency, global or local. My personal preference would be for a global resiliency, mainly because I have fond memories of dancing on floors that I believe were globally sprung, while I have no experience with the other. Also, I believe a globally sprung floor should feel better to country dancers, as opposed to modern dancers. The difference being that country dancers are moving more or less as a group, and the floor joins into the dance. Sometimes, even the walls join into the dance! For a modern dancer or a basketball player, local resiliency would be more important.

That little building supposedly had a sprung floor. I throw this out as a possible contact for those researching good dance floors. aaaah what memories, not of English, unfortunately, but of the best Contra dancing going and sometimes some pretty classic stuff. I was lucky enough to start dancing just before Fox Hollow pulled in the sidewalks and closed the shutters but still have fond memories of wading thru the snowy woods from the parking lot to the dance. At times it seemed like the whole building was dancing with us. And once, I was sitting on the sidelines and the window overhead was open and the meeting of the subzero air coming in and the high humidity/heat inside made it snow directly over my head.....

The recent posting of the European Schedule for the Known World Dance Symposium contained a couple of bad descriptions that have been corrected by the teachers of the classes. (Thank you Countess Mara and Mistress Rosina.) Here are the corrections... First the Saturday 2pm class taught by Mistress Rosina, "Italian 15c Style" should not have a class pre-requisite for attending. Rosina assures me that the class begins with a teaching of the steps and style in which they should be danced and progresses forward, so that dancers of all skill levels are welcome to attend. Secondly, please replace the Sunday morning 9:30 am description of the Caroso Ball, with the following description: Sunday, February 2nd 9:30 am- Caroso-style Ball- Mara Kolarova - Dance in a 'bardic circle' format, with formal manners and live music. All skill levels invited. The playlist includes period dances both easy and advanced, well known in the Society and taught at the Symposium. This is how Caroso expected a high society dance party to work, as opposed to what we usually do in the SCA. Please make these corrections to the schedules you now have about the Symposium, and my apologies to the instructors for the mistakes.

Who drives the relationship? What sort of signals can be passed back and forth? Are the musicians always in charge, or is it truly a collaboration between the dancers and the musicians? This seems particularly interesting for people in our part of the dance world, where live music is generally the norm, and opportunities for collaboration between musicians and dancers arise every evening. Morris dancing is where I heard this relationship actually defined as a duet. Dancers and musicians listen to each other continually -- the musician slows down or speeds up as appropriate to the dance, the dancer keeps an ear cocked constantly for the beat, and follows the musician's lead ...that is, if the musician isn't following the dancer's lead. In jigs it ends up being a constant improvisation. But when it gets to a dance band and a hall full of dancers, you've got a different pattern. Here I'd always assumed that the musicians were in control, directing the dancers' movements. But I'm not a dance musician -- is that how it seems to you musicians out there? How do you "work" with the dancers on the floor? And what about dancers -- are the dancers really the ones in control here? Is it really some sort of dominant/submissive relationship (okay, if we're talking musicians I guess it has to be dominant/tonic) where the "submissive" partner is the one in charge?

I tend to feel it more often when playing for contra than for English; at a good contra I tend to let my eyes wander toward a particular dancer or group of dancers, and let the energy and rhythm flow back at me. At an English dance I'm less likely to do so, for whatever reason, but there's still a flow going on. No question, playing for dancers feels totally different from playing the same tunes in concert or in the living room. Call me a major-league snob if you will, but IMnsHO, musicians who play dance tunes who haven't played them for dancers don't usually get the feel quite right. Best, of course, is if they've danced too! (OK, I've got my asbestos britches on.) Peace.

Well, yes, the caller does have a fair amount of say in the matter. How musicians and dancers deal directly with each other is what interested me first -- it's nonverbal communication for the most part. When do you as a musician decide to put in that extra bit of drive, or a swooping rise and fall in volume? Are you thinking specifically about the dancers, or specifically about your fellow musicians? Or is it less conscious than that? >I usually play for English Country Dancing and I pick up my cues from the >dancers and the rest of the band.

That's my experience as well: As a dancer I feel that the musicians direct the interplay, more so in contra but also in English. Do you contra musicians do anything to try to elicit certain kinds of responses from the dancers? That is, do you WANT to hear the occasional whoops of delight, or the feet stamping (in rhythm, of course :) )? Do you ECD musicians...well, I hardly know what questions to ask of ECD musicians because the goal there seems to be flow and pattern...well, what atmosphere do you aim to create?

Are you thinking specifically about the dancers, or specifically about >your fellow musicians? Or is it less conscious than that? IMHO it is the good dances, those that last, that were written with the dance connected to a tune that fits--the musicians can play a tune the way it should be played from a musician's standpoint (increase in volume as pitch goes high, legato and staccato variation, etc.), and meet the needs of the dance. Combining this with attentive musicians who have danced and are familiar with the highlights of the dance ensures that the dance experience will be an enjoyable one. Although some dances have very nice figures, etc., I think that the real power of the dances are the melodies and how they are played--without the tunes, the dances would not be nearly so good. >>I usually play for English Country Dancing and I pick up my cues from the >>dancers and the rest of the band. But when I am dancing I find the music >>drives the experience, particularly where the movements fit the particular >>phrase. On those rare occations when I've played for contra dancing I felt >>less communication from dancers to musicians. In Contradancing, the tune is not usually identified but is selected by the band from their repertoire. For those dances where it is predefined, there is a bit of the same feeling (Chorus Jig, etc.) as ECD with the dance connecting to the tune. And certainly the more attentive Contra bands will pay attention to the figures of the dance and alter the method of playing the tune such that, for example, circles and swings might be smoother, more mellifluous, while long lines, balances, etc. might be musically flavored differently. So the band has leeway on tune selection (which the braver English bands do as well, although be prepared to reap the ire of irritated dancers who DON'T like to do the last time through Fandango to the tune "The Black Nag.") In addition, English Country bands use music whereas a much high proportion of Contradance bands don't. This allows the contra musicians to stare at the dancers, into space, etc., while ECD bands can only do that if they have the tune memorized or have played it for a while and are starting to memorize it. >...

Lots of cheap tricks, yep. (Same kind of things we use to get the EC dancers as well, only more subtle for ECD).

Sometimes. Wouldn't be appropriate for "Fair and Softly", though.

If I enjoy playing the tune and the dancers supply adequate to above adequate applause, I feel I've succeeded. >>Musicians need to dance as well, and dancers also gain from playing. Very important. Having played for ECD, Morris, Contra, Rapper (a bit), and Scandinavian, I am much more uncertain of how to play Scandinavian tunes "right," since I have danced little more than an Hambo. Knowing what the "customer" likes is important, and the only way to do that is dance. Bob (speaking of dance music, just last Monday night I did an ECD at the nice, "Rapper" tempo of 153. No kidding!

Sounds perfectly reasonably to me, most of the best musicians I know are also good dancers - I can think of a couple of exceptions but they are exceptions. I also think that all callers should try playing for dancing and that all dancers should try calling.

Tom Clark: Recent word from Graham Jones, a fine Playford teacher who lives in England: Tom Clark has retired as a caller/leader/teacher but still dances now and again. A loss to the craft. The other thought is a bit less eptigrammtic. The best dance musicians I know and respect are marvelous, well rounded musicians who, at the moment for this discussion, happen to be playing dance music. Lots of them come to mind, Philip Merril being the most famous and best known to most of us. Atossa (Toppy) Kramer is another, a 'legit' musician on the faculty of the music dept., Berea College. I've written about her in one of my columns in the American Dance Circle Uh oh, the word above is epigrammatic. Lousy editing system here and I'd rather not type this whole thing again.

The relationship is much more clear in freer couple dance forms such as Scandinavian, Hungarian, and the waltzes that punctuate most English Country Dances. When the dancers have more room to improvise and the ability to move around the room, it's much easier to make eye contact and to respond with body motion to what the musicians are doing. This can then feed on itself, with the musicians responding to a certain couple's body movement. In Hungarian dancing, the best dancers take turns showing off in front of the band, who play to their energy. In Scandinavian, with the fiddlers in the center of the room, it's possible to make a stronger connection than when the band is elevated on stage, getting close enough to touch in some cases. In general this only happens with skilled bands, who don't have their eyes glued to the music. Within English dancing, the contraints of musical tempo and dancers' positions make it harder to achieve a two-sided relationship. It would be rude to make eyes at the musicians while setting to one's corner, for example. The dancers can respond to the musicians perhaps more than the other way around (but then again, I've never been a dance musician).
