Excerpt from The Country Dance Book, Vol. 6: Containing Fifty-Two Country Dances From the English Dancing Master (1650-1728) This book contains a further instalment of fifty-two dances selected from "The English Dancing Master"; eighteen from the first four editions (1650-70), three from the 7th edition (1686), one from the 8th (1690), seven from the 10th (1698), eleven from the 11th (1701), nine from the 12th (1703), and the remaining three from the 14th (1709). These dances, with those already published in Parts 2, 3, and 4 of this Series, make a total of 159, i.e., 21 Rounds; 6 Square-eights; 11 For-four; 21 Longways-for-six; 15 Longways-for-eight; and 85 Longways for as many as will. Of the 24 Rounds, which are all that "The English Dancing Master" and subsequent editions contain, we have now accounted for all but three - "The Chirping of the Nightingale," "Kemp's Jig," and "Kettle Drum." The first, two present no difficulties in the way of interpretation, and have been omitted only because they are not of sufficient interest to warrant printing. "Kettle Drum," however, has a splendid tune (set to "Peppers Black" in the present volume) and movements which would apparently be interesting enough could they be deciphered, but this, despite repeated attempts, I have so far been unable to do. In the hope, however, that some of my readers may be more ingenious, and partly, I admit, in self-justification, a facsimile of Playford's notation of the dance is here reproduced. The dances For-four and the Square-eights have proved more amenable, and every one of the dances of these two types that the Playford books contain has now been deciphered and printed. I would that there were more of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com

Excerpt from The Country Dance Book, Vol. 1: Containing a Description of Eighteen Traditional Dances Collected in Country VillagesUp till a few years ago it was commonly believed that the English race was the only one in Europe that was unable to make any contribution to the literature of folk-song. Opinions may still be divided as to the artistic worth of our national folk-songs, but their existence, and in great abundance, can no longer be disputed.A similar misconception with regard to English folk-dances awaits refutation. Maybe, the contents of this volume, following upon the issue of The Morris Book and other similar publications, will aid in the work of enlightenment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from English Folk-Chanteys: With Pianoforte Accompaniment, Introduction and NotesOf these, the last two are at once the most recent and, in my opinion, the most authoritative. Each is the compilation of a professional sailor and avowedly a one - man collection, containing those chanteys only which its author had himself heard and learned at sea.Here, of course, Mr. Whall and Mr. Bullen have the advantage of me. I have no technical or practical knowledge whatever of nautical matters; I have never even heard a chantey sung on board ship. But then I approach the subject from its aesthetic side - my concern is solely with the music of the chantey and with its value as an art - product - and this I contend is quite possible even for one who is as ignorant as I am of the technical details of the subject.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
