THE FIT'S COME ON ME NOW longways duple minor play AABB in Barnes Playford, 7th edition, 1686 - Helwig&Barron Key F Meter: 9/8 (slip-jig) A1 1-2: First corners orbit standing neighbors, thus: top down outside first while bottom goes up the middle first. [Detail] M1 outside below M2 and up the middle to place WHILE W2 goes up the middle and around W1 to place. (6 steps altogether for this, so this is pretty tight) 3-4: Partners turn two hands once round. A2 1-2: Second corners orbit standing neighbors, top outside, bottom inside: W1 outside W2 and up the middle to place WHILE M2 goes up the middle and around M1 to place. 3-4: Partners turn two hands once round. B1 1: Partners change places (all improper) [*] 2-3: 1s half figure 8 down through 2s (1s proper) 4: 1s turn single at home. B2: 1: 2s cast up (1s down middle) 2-3: 2s half figure 8 down through 1s below 4: All turn single in progressed, proper place. [*] That's curve past each other right shoulder so after three steps you're facing back in. Then W-first half-figure down. Notes: This is pretty fragile. If you start the A late you not only can't catch up, you block the other person. If late, don't go. You really need to be able to move to do this. Everything is walking forward the whole way. All turns single were Rsh in the '80s, but I think if you all did a turn single up at the end it would improve momentum for first corners. Easier alternates: Drop the two-hand turns, use 4 bars for orbits. Make the 1s improper and then woman crosses in front from the easy side, or allow M1 to cross in front. BISHOP OF CHESTER'S JIGG (same tune, historically. Don't know if this figure is anything historical.) A1: 1-4 first corners orbit neighbor as above. A2: 1-4 second corners the same B1: 1-2 partners cross right shoulder and face in 3-4 first corners cross (lots of time) B2: 1-2: second corners cross 3-4: partners two-hand-turn
