Yes, Hanny, the dance "The Woeful Lover" really exists ! It's a Pat Shaw dance, and you can find it in his collection "New Wine in Old Bottles". This is a series of dances Pat made on old Dutch tunes. A couple of years ago, Antony Heywood, Marjorie Fennessey and Nicolas Broadbridge made a very interesting re-edition. I can recommend it to you ! It contains a lot of interesting dances. There is also a beautiful CD, by the Assembly Players (Nic Broadbridge et al.) which has a lot of the tunes of "New Wines in Old Bottles" on it. I can recommend both Book and CD to you ! Nicolas and Antony can tell you a lot more on them. Try, for example, these dances (we do them often in Holland and Belgium!) : the Waters of Holland, Cecilia, the Carillon at Sneek, the Slof Galliard, the Koepoort Galliard, Sweet Rosie Red, Sally from Poland, Little Nightingale, Dear papa and dear mama, ... The dance "The Woeful Lover" is not for a big crowd : it is difficult, and will only be appreciated by real "connoisseurs" of the English dance. But it is a nice dance. I hope I gave you enough information now.

This all started when the between dance conversation turned to summer and specifically how slow things seemed to be during the hot Florida summer months. Individual groups such as the Sharpes Assembly have done balls for their own members, but we think this may be the first Ball to which invitations have gone out beyond the local groups. We've been sending flyers around with the band and other dancers and would like to be sure that no one is left out.. If you live in Florida or plan to be visiting, please join us. More details are on the web at www.folkdance.org, and feel free to e-mail me at jbdaly-AT- compuserve.com. Here are the basics. The Ball will be Saturday evening June 22nd. For those who respond by June 15th, we'll have a home-made dinner starting at 6:00 pm (and the plan is to make the dinner as elegant as can be given the rather plain nature of the hall). The Ball itself will start at 8:00 pm. Music by Jubilee. From 1:00 to 4:30 on Saturday afternoon we'll have workshops on various dances. Casual dress, recorded music. Various cuers. Hopefully a fun afternoon. Sunday Morning at 9:00 for those who want to stay over we'll have a continental breakfast (coffee, English Muffins, whatever) maybe do a couple dances, and then say good bye. I'm getting excited just writing about it. The cooks are getting frazzled just thinking about it. It will be a great time.

I am teaching two dance workshops which may be of interest to a few folks here, at least those in the northeastern USA. First, on June 15th, in Stratford, Connecticut, I will be conducting a workshop on late 16th-century Italian dance and leading some evening social dancing. The dances to be taught are from a 1581 Italian manual which I have been working with for the last year - Caroso's Il Ballarino, for those of you that means something to (hi, Sion!) No experience in Renaissance dance is needed, and the dancing is for the most part non-strenuous. Country dancers will recognize some of the figures (and may really like one hey...) There's some speculation that these dances are in some way related to early English country dance - I'm not sure ancestral would be the right term, but there are definite similarities in the set dances. Please note that the day is a workshop; the evening is a social dance, but it is NOT like a typical country dance evening, in that only a few people dance at once while others watch or socialize. There will be plenty to eat and drink, as well as live music. This is being run by the local SCA. If you don't know what the SCA is, please email and ask. The most relevant information is that at least some attempt at a costume is required - but we can help with that - and that because it's a nonprofit educational organization, we're all volunteers and thus it is extremely cheap - $12.00 for the entire day and evening. I should perhaps note that for those who find themselves peturbed by not knowing people's full names, you will be thoroughly traumatized by the fact that no one uses their real name at an SCA event, and I will in fact teach under an SCA alias. And in men's clothing, to boot. With no nametag. Demanding real names would be extraordinarily rude. If you are unable to deal politely with this sort of event, please don't come. The workshop is limited to 36 people, and we have about a dozen spots available. Please email me privately, and soon, if you're interested.

My June New York City workshop will occur on Sunday, June 16th (yes, I have a busy weekend planned...) and will look at the original (1810's) Regency quadrille. This is a two-part workshop; the earlier part will just be dance-walking through the figures. The second part will actually take a look at the early 19th-century steps and apply them to the first figure and possibly the dance "La Boulangere" as well, time permitting. This latter part will be somewhat strenuous. The cost is $15.00 for three hours, music is recorded (unless there's a musician around with a yen to come play quadrilles for three hours), and more details can be found at: http://www.elegantarts.org/nextclass.html These workshops tend to be teeny-tiny, and there is certainly no limit on numbers, but we do appreciate RSVP's; information is on that webpage. If you'd like to be on my mailing list for these workshops (which range from 17th century to early 20th century), email me directly. I forget to post them here at least half the time.

So the non-dancers in France invent people who could have lived in the historical period they're interested in, go by the names of those characters, and try to act according to the manners of those characters when participating in events set in that historical period? (And some of them go by those names in quotidian life as well?) I can see where that would get up your nose. But they're doing it to amuse and entertain themselves, not to annoy you.

The Boulangere is the only dance Miss Austen mentions by name in any of her novels. It's in _Pride and Prejudice_ when Mrs. Bennet bustles in to tell her husband about the local dance and how the eldest daughter Jane has caught the eye of Mr. Bingley (you know, the single guy in possession of a fortune who therefore must want a wife). In giving the rundown of the evening Mrs. Bennet lists the Boulangere. Perhaps it was worth mentioning by name because it appears to have some kind of big circle formation and traveling couple figures, which would differ from the usual longways. Perhaps Susan's workshop will provide more illumination.

And can anyone recommend a I wouldn't know, but I read in Ripley's Believe-it-or-not that she actually said "brioches". Also, the line is from Rousseau's CONFESSIONS, where it is attributed simply to "a great princess", in a passage probably written before the young Archduchess even went to France.

Moreover, according to someone named John Wexler: "French law obliged bakers to sell certain standard varieties of loaf at fixed weights and prices. (It still does, which explains why the most expensive patisserie will sell you a baguette for the same price as a supermarket.) At the time when this quotation originated, the law also obliged the baker to sell a fancier loaf for the price of the cheap one when the cheap ones were all gone. This was to forestall the obvious trick of baking just a few standard loaves, so that one could make more profit by using the rest of the flour for price-unregulated loaves. So whoever it was who said 'Qu'ils mangent de la brioche,' she (or he) was not being wholly flippant. The idea was that the bread shortage could be alleviated if the law was enforced against profiteering bakers." -- Jon Berger Business: jon-AT- perforce.com Personal: jberger-AT- sbcglobal.net http://pages.sbcglobal.net/jberger ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Fri, 07 Jun 2002 23:55:49 PST Sender: owner-ecd-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Date: Sat, 08 Jun 2002 01:56:05 -0500 From: Paul Stamler Subject: Re: Two dance events, #2 To: ECD-AT- PLAYFORD.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU Reply-To: ECD-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Message-ID: <003101c20eb9$8fa3a3c0$2a294b0c-AT- paulstam> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT References: <93.1e3562c8.2a3289c5-AT- aol.com> ----- Original Message ----- From: <<"La Boulangere"?

I seem to remember someone years ago having cats named Oranges and Lemons. Lyrl had a cat that was named Petronella. My ex-wife and I had a cat we named Abbots Bromley, commonly known as Abbey.

Will we ever see someone from the English Dance community honored this way? I truly think that someone like Fried Herman deserves similar recognition as a national treasure, but the definition of the traditional arts that the Endowment uses is a major and possibly insurmountable hurdle.

Oh well, one last contribution - no ECD content, sorry.

No. we dance it with 6 couples! The standard music length only allows for one whole hey, not 1 each for men and ladies. So we dance the heys simultaneosly, the end people have to do a big turn single at the end to fill in while the others are finishing the hey. but otherwise it all fits nicely, the other movements are for two couples each anyway.

On September 18, Colin will be teaching the Wednesday night class at the Park Avenue Church in Arlington. His program will be "One Man's History of English Country Dance", dances chosen to illustrate the development of English Country dance. Then on Friday, September 20 at the Concord Scout House Colin will present a program of his dances, backed by Peter Barnes, Mary Lea, and Chis Rua. For those of you who have some vacation time left, you can dance in Boston Wednesday and Friday with Colin that week, then spend Saturday and Sunday dancing in Amherst with Philippe Callens--a nice way to spend the last weekend of the Summer and the first weekend of the Fall. If you're within driving distance of Boston, you're invited to our end of the year party tonight at the Park Avenue Church in Arlington.

(the one with Bruce Cockburn on the cover), they've published an article/interview I did with Sheila Kay Adams, a member of the great family of traditional singers from Sodom Laurel, North Carolina that includes Berzilla, Cas and Doug Wallin, Dillard Chandler, and many other singers going back to the early 1800s; the article is as much about that astonishing family (which gave a multitude of songs to Cecil Sharp, among other folklorists) and their history as it is about Sheila herself. (If her name rings a bell, she was the musical advisor to the film "Songcatcher", and most of the songs in that film were performed in her family's versions.) There are also transcriptions of two songs: Doug Wallin's version of "Young Emily" (aka "Edwin in the Lowlands Low") and Sheila's own singing of "Camp A Little While in the Wilderness", and an almost-complete family discography. (Almost, because Musical Traditions, in England, reissued two albums of field recordings after the magazine went to press). I let folks know, not because I wrote the article (well, maybe a little -- I've been reading Sing Out! since I was nine years old, and it's nice to finally write something for them) but because these are amazing people with a rich history and tradition. Characters, too. And damned fine singers. Peace, Paul PS The magazine is available across the USA at Barnes & Noble & most Borders stores; in St. Louis, look at Music Folk and, maybe, World News in Clayton. Please, look at the independent outlets first. ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2002 07:05:50 PST Sender: owner-ecd-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2002 10:06:56 -0400 From: Graham.Christian-AT- risk.sungard.com Reply-To: ECD-AT- playford.slac.stanford.edu Subject: Where to get *Red Star Line* and the Callens dances To: ECD-AT- PLAYFORD.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Dear friends: Thanks to those of you who have written to me expressing interest in the purchase of *Red Star Line* and Philippe Callens dances.
