- | 4 Couple set, C1 and C3 Improper | + | Teaching tips: In A2, it's important not to get ahead of the music. Each change is two waltz steps |
- | + | and it helps to have the dancers notice their straight lines after each pass. | |

+ | I composed this dance for Jacqueline Schwab and Edmund Robinson on the | ||
+ | occasion of their marriage. The biblical title comes from the Sermon on the Mount | ||
+ | (Matthew 5;13); it seemed to me an apt reference to people who make their | ||
+ | surroundings worth savoring, but also to Edmund's role as a Unitarian minister. | ||
+ | Childgrove included this tune on their 2008 recording Wanderlust. |
