 +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 Sclzzoab and Edmund Robinson on the 
 +occasion of their marriage. The biblical title comesPom the Sermon on the Mount 
 +(Matthezv 5;13); it seemed to me an apt reference to people zoho make their 
 +surroundings zoorth savoring, but also to Edmund'​s role as a Unitarian minister. ​
 +Childgrove included this tune on their 2008 recording Wanderlust.
