+ | Teaching tips: In A2, it's important not to get ahead of the music. Each change is two waltz steps | ||

+ | 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. |
