[Bg-dance] playford question...

[stiobhard]

this is from the terpischore book though ive seen the
original playford online as well.

i wanted to request it for the next dance... (i swear
the weather wasnt a factor but i suppose its
appropriate) 

most of it seems rather straightforward but im a bit
confused by the chorus which is the one complicated
bit. has anyone done this or familiar enough with
terpsichore's notation to unravel whats going on in
that section.

it seems to be similar to black nag perhaps but with
something else going on in this chorus part.

i have a nice recording of the christmas carol that
goes to this dance, i just need to get it put on cd.
