At the beginning of this school year I requested money from a local
educational foundation to hire an ECD scholar/performer to help coach some of
my Fourth Grade public school students through the intricacies of English
Country Dance and music.   One question on the grant application asked : In
what way is this project innovative or creative?"...to which I answered:

English Country Dance Music is a repertoire that is rarely taught to public
school string students.  Usually these students study a more "classical"
rather than "folk" repertoire.  Because of this "classical" emphasis,
students rarely have the opportunity to do what folk musicians do frequently:
play music for dancers   From my own personal experience as a performing
musician, I can vouch for the fact that playing music for dancers is one of
the most fulfilling, challenging and enriching experiences that a musician
can have.  The Fourth Grade students who play this music for their  fellow
Fourth Grade dancing friends will experience much earlier in their lives than
most string players what it means to be a dance musician.
    Students who participate in the dances, on the other hand, will have the
experience of performing folk dance with "live" music.  This experience, too,
is rarely offered in the general music class simply because the resources for
such an experience are not there.  This proposed project makes this resource
available."

The bit of good news is that the educational foundation believed what I wrote
above, and just informed me that they will fund the grant!

I will keep you all informed ....

I made a few recommendations from personal experience; there were some other suggestions. I've just run across the most comprehensive listing of historical ready-to-wear I've ever seen. (I can't vouch for how good all these vendors are, but this is more vendors listed than I've seen in one place.) http://www.gbacg.org/rtw.htm is the page maintained by the Greater Bay Area Costumers' Guild of ready-to-wear historical costume for a wide range of periods including 1650-present. Hope this helps! -- Alan PS: GBACG is a CDSS affiliate organization and sponsors English country dancing through the Bay Area English Regency Society.

Robin is the composer of "In the Bleak Mid-Winter", and as anybody lucky enough to have danced with her knows, is a paragon of grace and style. Each year we invite a regional caller to lead our Wedneday night dance; last year it was Susan Kevra. This year promises to be as much fun. Please join me in welcoming Robin to our Wednesday series. For those of you coming from out of town, the dance starts at 7:30 at the Park Avenue Congregational Church. You can find directions to the Church at http://www.cds-Boston.org/english.html.

Franklin would have said it about the Declaration of Independence ("life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"), not about the Constitution, although that held out "domestic tranquility," which isn't such a bad thing, either. And since such pursuit was an "inalienable right.," neither document gave it. Both documents are also silent about dance, a grave omission, although perhaps in the realm of rights not otherwise enumerated. > The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness.

A lovely program with a great mix of dances (with a couple of no-brainers mercifully saved for the end when I had misplaced most of my braincells), a wonderful host community, splendid calling (and lively contoversy) by a variety of callers (meaning no one was entirely out of the dancing action) and the most delightful music imaginable. Things I wish especially to single out for praise include-but-are-not-limited-to The inclusion of The Nightcap in the program. My, my, my what a fun dance. Can anyone provide me with information, speculation, rumor, or innuendo concerning how it came to be written? The general ebullience and cheerfulness of the Seattle dance community. What a pleasure it is to dance in a community with such a non-dogmatic approach to the whole business! The music. Both Friday's and Saturday's bands were a treat to dance to, and I was particularly impressed with the fortitude of the Tricky Brits...to which their playing for both the afternoon and evening is tesimony...and charmed with the way they teased us with the increasing tempi of some of the dances. Excellent fun. As were Anita Anderson's ongoing piano sarcasms. Excellent fun all 'round, in fact.

More info is due soon on the web site at www.cdss.org; the brochure goes out in Februrary. Our special guest from England this year is Andrew Shaw. According to a September, 2000, review in "Realfolk," Andrew "is one of England's finest callers of dances in the Playford style. His astonishingly detailed background knowledge of the dances, his clear and precise descriptions and his quiet insistence on the best possible performance styles have won him many admirers." Joining Andrew will be our own Helene Cornelius, Mary Devlin, Bruce Hamilton, and Gene Murrow. Music will be by the Bare Necessities 4-some (Earl, Jacqueline, Mary, Peter), PLUS Bill Peek (piano), Bill Tomczak (clarinet), Tom Kruskal (concertinas), Susie Lorand (violin and recorders) and Ellen Tepper (harp). Earl will be scheduling the evening music to exploit all manner of exciting combinations among these talents. Andrew Shaw will offer "Early Playford," covering dances from the 1st through 7th editions of John Playford's Dancing Master; "Dances of Nat'l Kynaston," for advanced dancers (we mean it) featuring works by the 18th century composer of what we now call The Old Mill, and "Dances by Modern English Composers." Gene will repeat his popular "Dancing the Best Well" session devoted to improving style and technique, and the "Choreographers Workshop." Helene will present more of her remarkably eclectic repertoire in an "English Country for All" session and an "English for Experts" (we mean it) class. Bruce (with Mary and Susie) will be offering his leadership training program for callers (special registration), and calling in the evenings. We'll also have an "open mic" session for callers and musicians, organized and coached by Mary Devlin and Peter Barnes. This will be a regular class open to anyone who'd like to join. In addition, we'll have Cotswold Morris, Northwest Morris, garland, long sword, rapper sword and clog classes, taught by Yonina Gordon, Meg Ryan, and Kari Smith. We'll repeat the popular "introduction" level classes for hard core country dancers who'd like to try one of these traditional forms for the first time. Also this year, we're going to make some special efforts to welcome newcomers and enhance the social aspects of our evening parties, so if you haven't tried Pinewoods before, this is the time! English Week fills early. Last year several ECD-list'ers were disappointed, so make sure you register before the cut-off date. Hope to see you there!

This will be my first attempt and I have a few questions for the more learned members of this list. I'll be using a very abbreviated list of changes, to make the dance easier for me to teach and lead and to allow time for other dances during our session ;-) One question I have is how to coordinate the music and the dance. I see that if you have a 32 bar dance and a 48 bar tune you put the changes in the first 16 bars of the tune (and have the band play an additional A part at the end for the final Grand Round). However what if you have a 32 bar dance and a 32 bar tune? Should I have the band play the tune AAAABB (or ABAABB) to accomadate the changes? How about if I have a 32 bar tune and a 48 bar dance figure? I'm guessing I should have the band play the tune twice through for each change/figure pair with the change coming on the A part of the first time through the tune. I'm considering two possible figures for the dance. One is La Pantalon (spelled Le Pantalon in the sources on the Lib. of Congress dance instruction manual web site, but the source I have spells it La Pantalon). I guess it is officially a quadrille, but it seems like a nice 32 bar figure and I'm thinking of using it for a cotilion. Is this a major faux pas? Does anyone know what tune was traditionally used for it. I haven't been able to find a tune named Le Pantalon and none of the sources I've checked have mentioned a tune for it. I haven't done an exhaustive search, but I thought I would ask and see if anyone happens to know of the tune for it or a good place to look. The other figure I'm considering is called The Frolic. I haven't found any sources for this dance or tune (outside of the manuscript I'm working from) at all. Once again my search has not been exhaustive, but I thought I would see if anyone has ever heard of this dance or tune. It's a 48 bar dance figure and a 32 bar tune. Any other advice on teaching and leading a cotilion would be appreciated. Thanks.

I generally do All Round, Women's Star, Men's Star, All Round, although there's something to be said for Allemande/Allemande Reverse or Grand Right and Left. It also depends on the chorus; Mr. Turner's Academy Cotillion is something like 96 bars for change+chorus; the one time I set up a demo of it, both the dancers and fiddlers were clear that two changes was plenty. > One question I have is how to coordinate the music and the dance.

However what if you have > a 32 bar dance and a 32 bar tune? Should I have the band play the tune > AAAABB (or ABAABB) to accomadate the changes? I'd say that the answer is "don't do that." Use a cotillion that has a tune that matches its format. There are a number in both the Morrison and the Keller & Sweet Early American dance books (available from CDSS, as I expect you know). There are also a bunch in Millar, but when I tried using a couple five years or so ago I couldn't make them line up with the music, so I won't recommend that source even if it was my fault. (I think the dancers, especially if unfamiliar with the cotillion form, will need all the help they can get, and a strain for each part of the dance is helpful. Playing AB for the changes gives a false cue; playing AAAABB doesn't give them a cue to go into the chorus.) >How about if I have a 32 bar > tune and a 48 bar dance figure? I'm guessing I should have the band play > the tune twice through for each change/figure pair with the change coming > on the A part of the first time through the tune. That sounds plausible. If you want to do a cotillion to do a cotillion, I'd recommend Marlbrouk. Easy, fun, with a clear structure and a chorus not too long for modern tastes. If you want to do a cotillion in order to use something from one of the New Harmony manuscripts, that's a different story, but I'd still hope you could locate a tune that lines up with it. > I'm considering two possible figures for the dance.

The pantalon figure is a figure in (I believe) the first set of quadrilles. Various people composed suites for the quadrille sets, so that's what you'd want to find. The pantalon would be identified within that suite. (James Langdell can probably suggest a source here.) As to whether using a quadrille figure is a major faux pas: a lot of quadrille figures have antecedents as cotillion choruses, so it's not necessarily out of the question. On the other hand, the music you find for a quadrille figure will not be written to accommodate the changes, so you may have to invent or apply other music to your back-formed cotillion. If you can find good music for it, it could well be delightful. > The other figure I'm considering is called The Frolic.

As with Early American dances in general, you need to figure out how much new stuff people can absorb, and how much authenticity you're after. Are you going to teach the rigadoon? People who haven't done that before may be so focused on getting that step that they don't have much spare brain for complex choreography. If you use the allemande figure, you have to teach that unusual meaning of allemande, and so on. My inclination, tempered by experience, is not to have more than two cotillions in a whole evening, and have the first one be very accessible. Marlbrouk, as I say above, works well for this. That gives people both an idea of the changes and an idea of how hippety-hoppety it all is; the ones who get up for the next cotillion will know what they're getting into and you can do a somewhat more complicated one, like "The Convention." I think cotillions are lots of fun.

He might be able to help. Send a message to him at dance18thc-AT- aol.com. I also found Le Pantalon as a Quadrille with music in Jacqueline Schwab's unpublished index on early English country dances. It is listed also in the National Tune Index (Keller and Rabson) as a Country dance with music in Thompson CD-5, 1788, and in the Beach MS, 1801. If you really need the tune that goes with the cotillion figure, I could probably give you a detailed citation, with call number. I have a copy of the Thompson CD-5, which shows the Pantaloon as a 8/8 bar tune, in 2/4, used as a country dance. I could scan it for you if you wish, but don't want to send it out on the listserv, for obvious reasons. I could send it to you off-list if you wish. FYI, I am in the process of setting up a Dance Resources Index on the web, along the lines of the Dancing Master Compendium, which would be able to answer questions like this. The quadrille listed above is at the British Library, in Paine & Hopkin's New & Fashionable Dancews, Waltzes & Quadrilles... 1829. Her index shows it as the second dance on page 1, 2/4 time. The BL call number is a.9.c.(8). Bob Keller j-sivier-AT- ux1.cso.uiuc.edu wrote: > I'm going to be trying to lead a cotilion at our dance next month.

At the end of A2, the 1s go directly (that is, without touching partner after turning 2nd corners) into left shoulder heys on their proper side. Perhaps that is where the word "directly" belongs.

The Frolic to the tune of the same name? (none of the tunes are titled, but it's next to the dance so I assume it has the same name, if I can locate a tune named The Frolic I can compare them) 1-2 gents dance to their partner, balance and turn them 3-4 pass on to the next lady, balance and turn her 5-8 do the same for the 3rd and 4th lady 9-12 rights and lefts all round repeat for the women I'm assuming that if 4 changes of rights and lefts takes 16 beats then 8 changes of rights and lefts takes 32 beats, even though these days we do a grand right and left in only 16 beats. I figure I'll have them do a step-swing balance and then a two hand turn. I'm not sure what to have them do with their partners. Perhaps balance twice to take up the extra 4 beats. Do you think it would be appropriate to have a change in between the men's go-round and the women's. That is rather than have 96 bars of figure between each change have it go like this change men go change women go ...etc. The same is true for figures where the heads do the figure and then the sides. It seems to me to be logical to have the heads go, then have a change, then the sides go, alternating who's turn it is between each change. This would be especially true for figures that are like visiting couple squares, where the 1st couple does the figure, then the 2nd, then the 3rd and then the 4th. Maybe back in the 18th and 19th century they were willing to do 4 repeats of a 32 (or even 48) bar dance between each change, but I think if we tried anything like that today the dancers and band would rebel. If they did 10 changes that would be something like 45 times through the tune. That seems like a marathon dance even for the Good Old Days (TM). Thanks for any insights anyone may have.

It's a great dance. Well, that's the way I taught it in a ball review session at True Brit a couple of years back--and then was totally confounded when, on the ball evening, Gene had the actives pass by R-sh & go directly to 1st corner for the turn. But, hey, I wasn't around when Dan Herr wrote the dance. Mr. Murrow, any comments? Hugs, Sharon P.S. Chris is absolutely right--it's a great dance, either way you do the contra corners. ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 08:59:54 PST Sender: owner-ecd-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 11:59:39 -0500 (EST) From: Eric Arnold Reply-To: ECD-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Subject: Re: "Gigue for Genny" To: ECD-AT- SSRL04.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT On Tue, 23 Jan 2001, Alan Winston - SSRL Central Computing wrote: > It's apparent that "directly" means something, or it wouldn't be in the > instructions.

The version I'm most familiar with has partners passing R shoulder to start, not taking hands." [Your choice of words is entertaining: Waste time? Doing what? Where would there otherwise be time to waste?] Responses so far seem to agree that the 1s pass by the R shoulder on their way to their 1st corners and turn their corners by L hands. It's the giving of hands that's in dispute. Not having danced this one, I wonder whether it makes any difference in the timing of the figure if the 1s give R hands in passing or merely pass by R shoulders. Certainly the mood would be different, less rushed, more social, I'd say. If the object is to get to the corners as quickly as possible, I wonder if a Left Shoulder pass wouldn't be faster. Then with which hand would the corner turns start? Turning corners by L hands sends the 1s into a R-hand turn in the center, a shorter turn than a L-hand turn in the center, to face 2d corner. Country corners is normally executed corner-partner-corner-partner, with either a R-L-R-L handing or a two-hand turn, over 16 bars. It is unfortunate that Mr. Herr did not specify what, if anything, he wanted done differently. He seems to have followed Playford's, Walsh's, etc., example all too well! Since no one has yet weighed in with Mr. Herr's actual intentions, there is still time for other interpretations. Why not the "Trip to Tunbridge" figure, in bars B1-8? 1s pass R-sh, turn 1st Corner by the R; 1s pass R-sh, turn 2nd Corner by the R; 1s pass R-sh to end facing out on own side. This certainly satisfies the direction to "directly turn" the corners and has the advantage of requiring only 8 bars of the dance-walk step. Mr. Herr specifies a "simple skip" for the hey, but not so for the corner turns; whereas it would seem that skipping is required in the interpretations offered so far.

When grand right and left is a cotillion change, you rigadoon to your partner both times you meet, thus killing four beats of music each time. If you don't want to mess with rigadooning, two balances should do it.

From my small knowledge of the field, I wouldn't think it was historically accurate to alternate the men leading the chorus and the women leading the chorus, but it may well be appropriate in the sense of making the dance acceptable to a modern audience. > The same is true for figures where the heads do the figure and then the > sides.

"The changes" are the standardized figures - a list of ten or fifteen figures (as familiar as up-a-double, siding, and arming) from which you'd choose a few when doing the calling. Morrison says "using all ten changes makes quite a long and strenous dance; it apparently was acceptable to selectively eliminate changes in the 18th Century, and dancers should feel free to do so today." So don't think about doing ten changes. In those pesky sets of quadrilles they didn't do the changes. So you'd have a set of quadrilles where you did something led by the first lady and then the second lady and then the third lady and then the fourth lady, and then you'd do something else. And there might be a good deal of standing around, possibly chatting with partners when inactive. And they paid the musicians a living wage, which made them less rebellious. -- Alan =============================================================================== Alan Winston --- WINSTON-AT- SSRL.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU Disclaimer: I speak only for myself, not SLAC or SSRL Phone: 650/926-3056 Paper mail to: SSRL -- SLAC BIN 99, 2575 Sand Hill Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025 =============================================================================== ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 14:13:01 PST Sender: owner-ecd-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 16:12:47 -0600 (CST) From: j-sivier-AT- ux1.cso.uiuc.edu Reply-To: ECD-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Subject: Re: yet another cotilion question (YACQ) To: ECD-AT- SSRL04.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU Message-ID: <200101242212.f0OMCl407897-AT- staff1.cso.uiuc.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Alan Winston - SSRL Central Computing writes: > > Jonathan Sivier wrote: > > > Here's a cotilion that I'm thinking of doing. > > > The Frolic > > to the tune of the same name?

I can't seem to make sense of the bar count as given.) I'm sorry I was just jotting down the parts, not trying to show the bar counts. I should have thought of that. Once again I'm going from memory, but I think the tune is 6/8. At any rate I'm pretty sure there are 2 steps per bar. Using the bar counts it would look like this: 1-8 gents dance to their partner, balance and turn them 9-16 pass on to the next lady, balance and turn her 17-32 do the same for the 3rd and 4th lady 33-48 rights and lefts all round 49-96 repeat for the women So if the change was in AA then the men's part would be in BBAABB. > > I'm assuming that if 4 changes of rights and lefts takes 16 beats then > > 8 changes of rights and lefts takes 32 beats, even though these days we > > do a grand right and left in only 16 beats.

Doing what? > Where would there otherwise be time to waste?] From the viewpoint of the caller/teacher, it would be wonderful if the dancers universally saw it this way. You may appreciate that dancers may not automatically connect the start of the second figure with the end of the first, particularly if it's not a dance they're familiar with -- e.g. "so we've cast off -- now what? Does the 2nd couple do the same thing? Do we all do something? Or do we continue to be the active couple & do something new? If so, what is it? We'll wait 'till you tell us..." Caller: "...and you go _directly_ into contra corners, passing Partner right shoulder to start..." The implication, best understood after a turn or two through the dance, is that you'd better keep moving if you want to get through the next figure in the music available... At least, that's how it seems to me. > Responses so far seem to agree that the 1s pass by the R shoulder on their > way to their 1st corners and turn their corners by L hands.

Considering that the contra corners in this dance are typically done with a vigorous skipchange, you don't really have time for much more than a touch of hands on the way past, and even that would lessen the energy of this figure, which is often done with a burst of energy after the initial turn & cast. > If the object is to get to the corners as quickly as possible, I wonder if a > Left Shoulder pass wouldn't be faster.

Well, speed is an essential element, but not the only element. But I agree there is a question of which hand to the corners -- in my cards I find that I have right hand to both corners, differing from the descriptions given previously. The hand for the second turn affects the angle from which the active couple approaches the hey. My recollection of how I have done it disagrees with my own cards, which I can't explain.

Curious that such a detail is left out of the original mimeographed instructions, but that's what we do in Boston, and I have a hunch it comes "directly" from Dan since Helene introduced him to call the dance debut at Pinewoods so long ago. The L with 2nd contra corner allows the actives to pass "directly" across the set, facing the correct way for the heys for 3 (M down, L up) and pass L shoulder to commence the hey, while the ends "bow" (as in arrow) inwards thus allowing for the famous "bulge" of mirror heys. Interesting that some have been doing it passing the ptnr and turning contra corner the "uncomfortable" way, which necessitates a 1.5 turn with w/ ptnr in the middle and a change of direction passing by to begin the hey. Must be rather of a scurry that way. The original way, the 1st contra corner people can move out towards their right and offer a L hand, thus making it even more aerobic. Finally, despite the fact that Dan respectfully asked us to use the skip change when he debuted the dance, it's notated in the Pinewoods Fund Dance Collection as a skip. I believe it was because of Dan's interest in Scottish dancing that he wanted the skip change but Imay be wrong on that one. Emily L.

Well that explains a lot, to my mind. SCD and contra dance execute contra corners in 8 bars but I wasn't aware that ECD traditionally did so, and was wondering why this person wanted an 8-bar country corner figure. Some may find it interesting to know that there is a Scottish dance entitled "Fair Jenny's Jig" (written by Ron Wallace of San Francisco, tune by Peter Barnes) with the same middle figures: that is, bars 9-16 are country corners, beginning with L hand; and bars 17-24 are reels on your own side, but W1 dances *down* to begin, while M1 dances *up* (because at the end of the country corners the 1s turn by the R hand half way towards their own side, and this puts them in a different orientation than the ECD version). Further: "Curious that such a detail is left out of the original mimeographed instructions....[snip] And too bad, too, because that's how dances get changed from the way the devisor originally intended....

Beginners never manage; they either start the next figure late, or miss one of the turns. Th rest of us have been doing those tight turns for so long, we can usually manage, provided each dancer gives a really firm arm. Is this another case of the early RSCDS misinterpreting the original sources? I wonder if Richard Goss's research can shed some light. The ECD version (LH to cn, RH to pt) is to my mind far more satisfactory. It fills the musical phrase adequately and allows unhurried turns with time for a smile. I realized this many years ago, and put the more leisurely sequence of turns into one of my dances "Dancers Anonymous" at a time I was not even involved with English style dancing, it just seemd the logical way of doing things.

Hello Alan,
Thank you for letting us know about your new CD. It seems a worthy cause. We haven't received the promo copy yet, so can't evaluate it fairly, but as far as the price goes, here are my thoughts so far:

If your wholesale price to us is L 10 plus post and packing, our retail
price would have to be in the neighborhood of $30.00.
This is due to the U.S. exchange rate plus our usual markup.
That is on the high end even for our imports. I'm wondering if it would be  worth it - sounds like you are doing a good job of advertising and selling directly.
We'd still consider carrying your CD if we could work out a better

I have no idea where you got this idea, Barbara. In SCD both men and women move in the poussette. The foot work is much more complex than for ECD and is very different in strathespeys versus jigs and reels.

In Orleans Baffled, for instance, the 1st couple pousette from middle place to the bottom of set with the 1st man moving forward, i.e. clockwise. The 1st couple then cast back to the middle and then they pousette to the top with the 1st man moving backwards, i.e. again clockwise. In Argeers, however, in the 3rd figure the men with their opposites half pousette, the 1st moving forward, i.e. clockwise. After setting and turning single to partners the men pousette their opposites again and again the 1st man moves forwards, i.e. counter clockwise. But in Long Odds and HRH the Prince of Wales Favourite (no jokes please about Camilla Parker-Bowles!!) the pousettes are done from progressed places with 1st man moving forward, i.e. counter clockwise. In other words it depends on the dance and how it makes the dance flow.

Which books are those? (Few of mine bother to describe a poussette in detail.) > If it was > unprogressed position this would be CCW, but in progressed position the > directions would be reversed. In _Knole Park_, according to _The Playford Ball_, the poussette is CCW. _Physical Snob_ has a series of half poussettes (1s and 2s CW, 1s and 3s CCW, 1s and 3s CCW, 1s and 2s CW.) In my experience, poussettes are most commonly done with the first corner people starting forward, whether you're progressed or unprogressed. That does, oddly, make the default CW when you've progressed, CCW otherwise. But this is "default" in the sense of "unless overridden by explicit instruction." _The First Lady_ goes to some trouble to get one couple improper, and then has a half poussette (draw for the 1s, regular for the 2s) with the men falling back to start. I suppose one could check out Wilson's 181x "Complete System of Country Dancing" and see if he says how poussettes go; I can only think of one other comprehensive prescriptive list of figures. (Which said, I pause to use google to find that list: ECD subscriber Hugh Stewart, under the auspices of The Round, has a good list as http://www.cam.ac.uk/societies/round/dances/elements.htm or available as a book (CDSS carries it). He says: A poussette is a way for two couples to change places. To do a poussette you hold hands with your partner, and one of you pushes to move forwards, while the other moves backwards. The move should be on a diagonal towards the other pousetting couple, and having moved a double out from the set you fall back diagonally into their place (they moving in the opposite direction into your place). This far is described as a half poussette. To do a full poussette you keep moving so you get home having gone round a complete diamond track. Who pushes and who pulls depends on the dance, but by default the senior man should push. Poussettes tend to show up whether people are listening to the music; it is obvious where you should be at the end of each phrase of the music, but it is very easy to get ahead of it. Pulling your partner by bending your arms while standing still is only allowed in extremely crowded halls. which must be right becasue it agrees with me. (In styling, it's worth noting that both parties should push in order to maintain an agreeable tension in the arms, so perhaps you should read "pushes" and "pulls" as "commences forward" and "commences backward" in the text above.) -- Alan > Jonathan > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | Jonathan Sivier |Q: How many angels can dance on the | > | j-sivier-AT- uiuc.edu | head of a pin? | > | Flight Simulation Lab |A: It depends on what dance you call. | > | Beckman Institute | | > | 405 N.

Yes, I've seen that from the various messages. My question is a result of trying to work out a dance where the direction is not specified. All is says is "pousette". My tendency at this moment is to take Eric Arnold's advice and have the 1st man push. Thus in unprogressed position this would be CW and in progressed position it would be CCW. Since the figure occurs in the dance I'm working on at the very end it is from progressed position and would thus be CCW. However I will take a further look at the dance and see if the flow of the preceding and following figures imply any particular direction. Thanks.

While it is definitely limited in its scope, it appears that it would be able to handle the bulk of ECD tunes without much difficulty.

Here the movement IS CW the 1st man moves forward, as the 2nd man moves back." I would like to correct the second sentence. The SCD poussette moves in a CCW direction. As this is an 8-bar figure of progression in SCD, it starts from the unprogressed place. The 1s always dance toward the men's side, while the 2s always dance toward the women's side. Then both couples turn 1/4 to move down (the 1s) or up (the 2s) and so continue dancing around each other CCW to progressed places. I refer you to _The Manual of Scottish Country Dancing_, published by the RSCDS, if there is a doubt about this. As to the first sentence, I think most Scottish dancers understand that the Scottish poussette is a dressed up version of the English poussette; that is to say, that the "default" version of the poussette is the English version. The consensus seems to suggest the following derivation: 1) English poussette 2) "dance around" (waltz, polka, rant, swing and change) replaces poussette in country dancing. Note that the "dance around" is CCW. 3) Miss Milligan seeks to combine the popular figure of "dance around" with the older figure of poussette wherein dancers stay at arm's length from each other instead of the more modern "ballroom hold." In so doing she creates the SCD poussette which has dancers moving CCW while holding hands. I believe Hugh Foss covers this in his "Notes on the Evolution of Scottish Country Dancing" (of which I only read a borrowed copy, so I'm no longer certain of the title).

You know, where it says "1st man turns the 2d woman and leaves her in her place." I always form an image of the poor woman being spun like a top. To be fair, though, the RSCDS Manual isn't totally male-oriented in describing the poussette. It addresses "couples" or "all" in most of the description, as in "All progress one step, 1st couple moving down the dance..." One doesn't have to look very far, however, to find examples "worthy" of the Playford descriptions. Pat Barbara Ruth wrote: "According to the description of the Scottish pousette only the men move.

After looking through a few original instructions, pousette never has any reference to direction. This puts us in a very familiar quandery--Do we follow the instructions of modern interpreters who have come before us whether or not it feels right or awkward, or do we feel free to reinterpret to incorporate new historical research and clarify inconsistencies? Do we follow the aesthetics of Cecil Sharp unquestioningly, or do we please our contemporary sensibilities? Well, you can answer those questions for yourself. There ain't no right or wrong in this business. Myself, I always teach that pousette always move in a clockwise direction irregardless of where the active couple is. It's a simple 'rule' that always works. You do not have to make separate instructions for men and women. It is easy to remember.

I do believe there were some references in the preceeding discussion to original instructions -- "1st man put his woman back" or something like that, and a reference to the description of a poussette by Wilson, which, while not an original Playford source, does seem sufficiently close to the time of the dances that Jonathan is considering that it would seem to have some relevance.

They're comparable -- Finale retails for a bit less, I think ($545?) while their educational price is $275. Either range is for folks who are into it fairly seriously. Finale has two other levels, PrintMusic and Allegro, in addition to Finale Notepad, which give you price/features tradeoffs, and they say files are compatible across their product field (I was able to load and print files, created with Finale 98, using the free Finale Notepad). I presume Sibelius has similar levels? The Codamusic web site gives a useful comparison of what their different programs will & won't do. > And I understand the learning curve for Sibelius is much easier on > your brain than Finale -- I've had Finale for a while and get > just nowhere with it ... I'll agree that the full-blown Finale is not the easiest program to learn, but the question is whether the simple version offered in F. Notepad is particularly more difficult than any other program offering the same or similar (very limited) capabilities. I don't really know any others; what I do know is that what you would learn from F. Notepad would help get you up & running in their higher-level programs, so if it turned out not to be adequate for the purpose, the learning wouldn't be wasted if the user wanted to stay with that product line. What would be most desirable, I think, is that the various versions would learn to read each other's file formats, and output them in similar variety, just as word processors and spreadsheets and the like do now. But we don't seem to be there yet. But by finding & starting to use what seems to work best, we might have a bit of influence in the way things evolve (display naive wishful thinking icon here).

For us it is important that abc works on nearly all platforms (I use a Unix machine and a Linux box, resorting to Windows only when absolutely necessary). I There are extensive libraries of tunes already in abc format (Playford 1st edition and Walsh are ones I've picked up from the web and I have nearly our whole playlist in abc files). It is possible to find nearly any traditional Irish or American tune in abc format through the abc tune web index. The files are easy to produce and, since they are plain text, are easy to send via e-mail. There are abc players available for several different platforms. I use abc2mtex to produce typeset music in large print (I'm slowly losing my eyesight and other members of the band don't mind large notes either). While I don't think I'd want to produce an elaborate orchestral score using abc, I have produced melody line with chords easily and multistaff multipart sheet music without too much fussing. I don't have access to Finale or to Sibelius, so I can't compare the difficulties.

Note entry isn't as easy as Mozart, cut and paste seems to be limited to full measures at a time (or did I miss something?), and it only gives you three measures of 4:4 to a line, which is pretty wasteful. It also demands that you choose an instrument to score for, which is unnecessary if you're simply notating a melody line to be played by any instrument. I've also been messing with Mozart, and again am not terribly impressed. Note entry is *very* easy, cut and paste works with individual notes or phrases -- but you have to create empty measures to paste into before it will let you paste; you can't just tack onto the end of what you've already done. Editing text, once created, seems well-nigh impossible. Both of these programs insist on printing up a full page of staff lines, even if only a few have actual notes on them. Wasteful, time-consuming, and ugly. I'm sticking with SongWright, an extremely clunky DOS program that does almost everything right, except for line wrapping and changing the fonts so you can read the chord symbols.

While it doesn't seem to give the user any control over how many measures go on a line, I did find that it adjusted the number of measures in a line as I entered notes, and some lines ended up with four bars instead of three. (It also left one measure in the last line and I wasn't able to find a way to change that.) But I wasn't thinking of it as the ultimate software package.

I use Noteworthy Composer, which does everything I want it to do (including playback of multiple lines simultaneously) and retails for $39.95. It might have some problems producing full orchestral scores, but I'm highly unlikely to ever want to do that. It's available for download at the usual download sites.

The principal virtue of abc was that it was encoded as an ascii file which could therefore be transmitted as text in an e-mail. It has served the folk music world in a very useful way because of that, and as a result there are now enormous amounts of music encoded this way accessable through the internet. But the internet is capable of much more sophisticated file transfer without appreciably greater burden to the user, and even though people claim that they can encode complex music with it, you still _need_ an interpreting program to turn it into conventional music for most users. I think that any good music software program ultimately should be capable of reading abc files along with other forms of input, and perhaps should be able to provide an abc output format, which would capture the basics but would ignore some of the finer details just as the RTF does for word-processor files. But it is hard to imagine abc as an efficient encoding for music files generally.

You can download the shareware version for free from http://www.myriad-online.com. Registration costs $15 and you get lifetime? updates. I have had it for 3 years and am still notified each time there is an update. It is available for PC and MAC and has significant import and export capabilities (including ABC as recommended by various other contributors). Capabilites are (their blurb, not mine) Score editor ************ If you use often printed scores, it'll be easy to enter them on your computer : Melody processes almost all the break symbols used in musical writing, and uses them while playing the music. A powerful editor allows you to place and move easily the notes on the staves. Digital output (SoftSynth) ************** A complete digital instrument database is integrated to Melody, which gives hi-quality tunes, even if you don't own professional hardware. Digital sound editor ******************** You can record your own sounds from a CD or a microphone (or load a sound file like .AIFF or .WAV), and use them as instruments in your tunes. Compatibility with other programs ********************************* Your tune files can be played either on PC or Macintosh, since Melody exists on both platforms. Melody allows also to import and export your tunes in MIDI 0 or 1, Midi Karaoke (.KAR), ABC or CMF format. Melody can read Band In A Box style files and MOD, S3M and TAB (ASCII Tablature) files. Exporting the whole tune in AIFF or WAV format allows your music to be integrated in multimedia projects, or to be written later on an audio CD. Tablatures and chord diagrams ***************************** Guitar, Bass and Harmonica players haven't been forgotten : Melody calculates tablatures and displays the chord diagrams. You can even define your own stringed instrument and calculate tablatures for it ! A complete library of guitar chord diagrams is provided with Melody. You can complete this library by defining easily your own chords. Karaoke ******* You can associate lyrics to a tune, and let the music play in Karaoke mode. Of course, Melody loads and processes the MIDI Karaoke file format (.KAR). Graphics and colors ******************* Graphics in black and white or color (in BMP or PICT format) can be inserted at any point on the score. All the symbols can be colorized, globally or individually, in order to enhance the attractiveness of your document. You can drop texts and comments almost wherever on the score. Tune printing ************* Printing is widely user-definable : you can define integrally the printing format. -- Do you VisualMail?

Another aspect of using ABC that is useful (for me) is that since it's a text file format, you don't need special software to create music files. Any text editor will do. There are programs that simplify it, but in a pinch I can just use vi. Also I can use the DOS player program to play tunes on my pocket computer (HP200). This can be handy for trying out tempos and reminding myself how the tune goes at dances, etc. Jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jonathan Sivier |Q: How many angels can dance on the | | j-sivier-AT- uiuc.edu | head of a pin? | | Flight Simulation Lab |A: It depends on what dance you call. | | Beckman Institute | | | 405 N.

That's a good point, and in fact you don't even need the text editor -- you can compose the abc directly into your e-mail, if the encoding rules necessary to do what you need are in mind or at hand (I've even had occasion to do that once or twice). But, for me at least, it doesn't work the other way around -- I can't look at the abc transcription and imagine the tune in my head, at least without considerable effort, while I can with conventional music notation. So I can put it on my dance card and be reminded, or even let a musician play from it in an emergency, and I don't need a gadget at that point to interpret it.

Is there a different version of the dance that has only one B?  The count in my directions is 8 bars for each part.

Money no object {ya right} I love all the musical instruments I have heard played for ECD, but what would your musical instrument preference be for each of these if you needed 1 musician, 2 musicians , 3 musicians or 4 musicians etc. for classes?

We play for all of the Central Illinois English Country Dancers sessions: monthly dances, the summer dance in the pool, and two balls a year. We essentially always play unamplified. Here's my opinion on the musical instrument question: Instruments which have been in Flatland in its 8-10 year history: fiddle--a core instrument for the group, we've preferred having two kit--very soft sound, a different tone color flute--another core instrument for the group, often improvising harmony piccolo--adds a bit more punch than the flute pennywhistle Keyboard--usually in piano or harpsicord mode bass--another of our core instruments guitar--a standard oboe--a second instrument for one of our past flute players bassoon--his third instrument tenor krumhorn--brought in for special occations recorders (soprano, alto, tenor)--several members of the Consort play recorder occationally mandolin--second instrument of our fiddle players, though we once had a band member who only played mandolin octave mandolin--second instrument of a fiddle player trumpet--second instrument of a former band member who played a mean recorder prima domra--some of our members once played in a Russian orchestra accordian--occasionally there, sometimes plays percussion, sometimes dances nikelharpa--a rare addition once in the past Northumbrian small pipes-- one of our woodwind players once had a set percussion: doumbek, bodhran, frame drum, wood block, tin can, cardboard brick, washboard triangle, eggs Instruments in other ensembles I've played in: viola cello concertina Preferred ensembles either from past experience as a player or as a dancer: 1 musician: Melody is key, in a small room you have more choices. The period of the dances also matters. fiddle piano kit (when only 4 people are dancing and the room is a rather bare closet) pipe and tabor a single flute or recorder can also work 2 musicians: Melody plus harmony or rhythm. fiddle and cello* (Marshall wrote a lot of Scottish Country Dance music for this combination) fiddle and piano fiddle and viola two fiddles 3 musicians: Melody, harmony, and rhythm. This is a good size of ensemble for most class situations. fiddle, flute, piano fiddle, flute, guitar fiddle, bassoon, piano* (this was a really nice combination to dance to) piano, fiddle, nikelharpa recorder, octave mandolin, bass 4 instruments: Adds more variety in the melody and harmony available. Musicians can change instruments during the piece to allow more tone color variety if you have four. fiddle, flute, piano, bass fiddle, piccolo, bass, guitar fiddle, krumhorn, flute, bass string quartet three recorders and a harpsicord 5 instruments: Flatland's core: fiddle or mandolin, flute or piccolo or whistle or recorder, keyboard, guitar, bass Or take a four instrument group and add a percussionist With five musicians you can have someone providing steady rhythm and have two string players (perhaps alternating between fiddles and mandolins) and two woodwinds (flute and bassoon, 2 flutes, recorders, flute and oboe) Make sure somebody is playing the melody. 6: Piano, two string players, two woodwinds, bass 2 strings, 2 woodwinds, guitar, percussion With six instrumentalists there can be a lot of change in tone color if you have smaller groups playing at any given time. more: Add whatever variety you can get. A core of three rhythm musicians (for us keyboard, guitar and bass) can support quite a variety of high and middle voices. It is best if the musicians trade off, with smaller numbers playing at once so that the sound stays clean and varied. Flatland sounds best in the 6-7 musician range, since that gives some of us a chance to abandon the band and dance. A really large orchestra needs better planning, a conductor, and written arrangements.

Eentsy teensy 16th-century fiddle, also known as a dancing master's fiddle, or pochette (presumably from the dancing masters' habit of carrying the thing in their pockets, which strikes me as a terrible idea, but I guess cases were expensive back then). And, incidentally, the source of the phrase "cat gut" which has turned so many ailurophiles against fiddlers: the original phrase was "kit gut," meaning the upper part of the sheep intestine the butcher would set aside for the kit maker. ------------------------------- Jon Berger Personal: jberger-AT- monitor.net Business: jon-AT- perforce.com http://www.monitor.net/~jberger
