[Bg-dance] [bryngwladearlymusicguild] Dance sets for Candlemas

[David Shankle]

If you're just dancing to the first 8 bars, then your "dance beats" are 2 beats per measure, feeling those 3 quarter notes as one beat.  If that's how you're dancing to it, then yes, those 8 bars equal 16 beats.

Rendance DB is a good resource for SCA dance and music.  This one is
http://rendancedb.org/dance_detail.php?id=62

We dance to the Musica Subterranea version.  I'm sorry, but it really
is 21 repetitions of the same 16 beats.  At least it's not as dreary
as Dargason, and at 3:10 it's shorter than Hole In The Wall.
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/wanderinghands2 has a "sample" that's
actually 2 minutes long that matches the Mus. Sub. version pretty well
in tempo.

The sheet music there: I'm not well versed (!) in reading music, but I
think that in Phaedria d'Aurillac's sheet music, the Playford version
and the version we dance to is just the part within the first set of
repeat signs -- I think I don't know what the second half sounds like
or where she got it from.  I think
http://crab.rutgers.edu/~pbutler/music/oldmole.pdf matches Playford
and what we dance to.  According to the notes from Dafydd Cyhoeddwr,
the music from The Companions of St. Cecilia, Vol. I, used their own
notion of interspersing a different strain for the choruses from the
verses.
