WA' IS ME, WHAT MUN I DO! Playford, 1696, Music Purcell (Epsom Wells) [Christine Helwig's interpretation in the purple book; (Bray) Red Barnes 134 Longways Duple AA B ad lib Key: F Meter: 3/4 04 bpm A1: 1-4: M1 moves forward (setting L and R); takes hands with both women; circle three left until M1 is in W2's place. 5-8: Continuing to move, M1 and W1 drop hands and M1 leads the women around below M2 until M1 is in W2's place again. A2: 1-4: M2 same thing, ending in W1's place. 5-8: M2 drops hands with W1, leads the line below M1, ends in W1's place. (All progressed, improper.) B: 1-2: All fall back on sides, then forward to meet. 3-4: Sashay 1 place left, ending women above, men below, facing partner. 5-6: Partners lead out on the sides, turn and lead back. 7-8: Cast 1 place right (original places) 9-10: 1st corners meet and fall back 11-12: 2nd corners meet and fall back. 13-16: Right hands to partners; three changes of R&L to end progresssed and proper. Bruce's note: * There is a choreographed way to do the setting the A parts. Everyone is free to do that but I'd prefer that you didn't teach it. I would like the women to feel free to return the setting any way they like (including making a separate choice each time and including not returning it) and for the men to feel free to begin setting on either foot (including making a separate choice each time.) * B 7-8 is disorienting. It may help dancers to think of this as going home.
