First published in the 1930's, Maggot Pie caused controversy by being a collection of newly-composed dances outside the repertoire of Cecil Sharp's reconstructions of Playford dances and collections of traditional dances "officially sponsored" by the English Folk Dance Society. This track is at the faster tempo; use a skip-change step in the "B" music. 3-COUPLE LONGWAYS A MINOR 2/2 32 BARS AABB 3X 1:54 1ST B: AT 0:19 9.HydePark TheDancingMaster, lstEd (Playford), 1651.

Cecil Sharp could not interpret the first figure to fit the 32-bar tune; his well-known reconstruction requires 48 bars. Though Playford's publication clearly shows repeat signs for the "A" and "B" music, Sharp resolved the conundrum by suggesting that the music be played ABAB throughout the entire dance, obscuring the tune's congruence with the nor- mal structure of the up-a-double, siding, and arming figures. England's Colin Hume suggests that a better solution is to play AABBBB for the first figure, followed by AABB for the subsequent figures. We offer it here. 4-COUPLE SQuARE F MAJoR 6/8 48 AND 32 BARS AABBBB+(AABB)x2 2:12 1ST B: AT 0:19 14. Leah's Waltz Dance by Fried DeMetz Herman. Tunes: "Amelia" by Bob McQuillen and "Nancy's Waltz" by Chris Romaine. Ease and Elegance (Herman), 1995. Fried wrote the dance in 1989 to honor Country Dancers of Westchester's pianist Leah Barkan. To complement Amelia, Fried chose Jay Ungar's "Ashokan Farewell" as the second tune, before it was made famous by Ken Burns's Civil War documentary and Jacqueline's playing on the sound- track. We thought we'd give that tune a rest, and use Chris Romaine's lovely waltz instead. 3-CoUPLE LONGWAYS D/AMAJoR 3/4 32 BARS AABB 6x 4:55 1ST B: AT 0:24 15. Epping Forest The Dancing Master, 4th Ed.

More of the Same (Bolton), 1986. Also called "Bridgewater's Gain," this stately dance was written for Doris Pomeroy, an active member of the Harrow Folk Dance Club, upon her retirement and move to Bridgewater in Somerset. Note the unusual two-bar introduction. 3-COUPLE LONGWAYS G MINOR 2/2 32 BARS AAB 6X 4:05 1ST B: AT 0:23 ~18. Sir Watkin's Jig A Choice Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances... Vol. 5th (Johnson), 1750. Retreads (Bolton), 1985. The dance was written in 1749 upon the elevation to the title of one Sir Watkin William Wynn, 4th baronet in a long line that continues to the present. (A Sir Watkin William Wynne presently resides on the family manor located between Oswestry and Bala.) Charles Bolton's reconstruction adds a slipping circle to the original triple minor longways dance. The Band adds some clever imitation figures to the tune s unusual 10-bar B music. 3-COUPLE LONGWAYS G MAJOR 6/8 36 BARS AABB 6x 4:00 1ST B: AT 0:19 1" 19.

Early-music enthusiasts will recognize the tune as a bourree from Terpsichore. the extensive collection of 16th-century dance tunes arranged and published by Michael Praetorius between 157- ~.~oriri wrote his three-coup~e~d~ fit the well- toved and widely available recording of"Parson's Farewell" made in England in the 70's by the venerable band Orange and Blue. Ironically, we recorded it because of requests for the music for"Oxford Circus" and the current unavailability of that recording in the States. 2 COUPLES, OR 3-COUPLE LONGWAYS D MINOR 2/2 24 BARS ABB 3X 1:20 1ST B: AT 0:09 ,/ 21.

Genny served as Executive Director of the CDSS, and Fried is one of America's most celebrated and prolific choreographers. Truly, this is a dance of, for, and by the English dance community in North America. 3-CoUPLE ROUND G MAJoR 3/4 32 BARS ABCD 6X 5:10 1ST B: AT 0:18
