Lichfield Folk Festival Programme 2010
Gene Murrow's programmes during Festival 2010
Magnificent Music w/Masquerade – Saturday 9:30 – 10:45 KES Bader Hall
Princess Royal (UNUSUAL SOURCE: Morris tune, 24-bar phrase)
Peter and Peggy (PHRASING: danced hemiola; G. Roodman, J. Jensen)
Say I Do (UNUSUAL STYLE: English cakewalk; G. Roodman dance, J. Jensen tune)
Felicity (TRIPLE: swing waltz; Dave Brown’s tune)
When Laura Smiles ( 13-bar phrase; O. Krasner dance)
Silver Primrose (UNUSUAL TONALITY: Lydian mode; F. Herman dance, John Stapledon tune)
Progressive Progressions w/3D – Saturday 1:00 – 2:15 KES Bader Hall
Fenterlarick
(Joyce Walker). No time for the first corners to sort out what happened as they get flung into Sharp siding with the new foursome!
Gleaners
(Ron Coxall) - circle once around plus one place Up a double, but NOT back! And there you are. Heather Bexon's beautiful and brilliant tune (steeped in the William Lawes - English musical eccentric tradition) adds to the mystery...
Mr. Adson's Masque
(Gary Roodman)- a final "moving gypsy" 1/4 way around and "pass through" (doesn't get any cheesier than that!) gets you there
Wooing Mairi
(Scott Higgs) - turns become circles which expand and invert, 1s start improper... huh? Which of course is the prequel to Mairi's Wedding. Which of course led to Mairi's Divorce (yes, there IS a Scottish CD of that name, by Angus Henry, which canonizes the classical error often made in Mairi's Wedding).
In the Sere
(Fried de Metz Herman) - Final inning, with only 4 bars to go. Two men dance a chevron, but the women dance straight across, et voila! How'd that happen?
Muriel's Measure
(Colin Hume) - a left-hand star 1 1/4 does the trick, but it needs more than those final 4 bars, even at Colin's preferred "pavane" tempo! So ignore Colin's "full stop" (period) punctuation mark in the directions and let the preceding 3/4 turn flow naturally into an "early start" for the star. It feels _so_ good.
Companions
(Victor Skowronski) - the "Fenterlarick/Let's Have a Ceilidh" progression meets 16th-century tunesmith Tielman Susato of Antwerp in Victor's electrical engineer's brain and gets re-wired! Sparks fly.
