 +   Pie (EFDSS reprint) 1980. 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. ​

 +   13. Chelsea Reach The Dancing Master, 3rd Ed. (Playford), 1665. The 
 +   ​Playford Ball, 1994. 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 ​

 +   ​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

 +   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

 +   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

 +   1651. "​Parson'​s Farewell"​ in The Playford Ball, 1994. "​Oxford Circus"​ by Colin 
 +   Hume in New Dances for Old (Hume), 1992. 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 ​

 +   Genny Shimer, who spent summers at their home in Randolph, New 
 +   ​Hampshire. Tom is currently President of the Country Dance and Song 
 +   ​Society. 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 ​
