-Elverton Grove by Tom Cook 1975
+Walsh (1712) //24 New Country Dances for the Year 1712//
+Tom Cook (1975) //Come Let's Be Merry//
+This dance, even with the music reduced in tempo, has a very vigorous and
+unforgiving B part. To reduce the stress on less athletic dancers, the
+couples can substitute a half figure 8 and a two hand turn half way instead
+of the full figure 8s, but must still remember the final cast and lead.
+Note that couples can opt to do this without interfering with other
+dancers. --- //[[nashjc]] 2019/10/31 13:42//
+The music is drawn from Handel's //The Alchemist//. According to Wikipedia
+''The Alchemist, HWV 43, is incidental music used for the revival of Ben Jonson's play The Alchemist at the Queen's Theatre, London on 14 January 1710. The work is an arrangement, by an anonymous composer, of music written by Handel.''
