From lindahl at pbm.com Mon Jun 15 14:18:31 2015 From: lindahl at pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2015 11:18:31 -0700 Subject: [SCA-Dance] new book on the Brussels manuscript Message-ID: <20150615181831.GC9901@rd.bx9.net> I got this announcement in the mail, looks interesting: The Brussels Basse Danse Book - a critical edition, edited and translated by Robert Mullally. This publication offers for the first time a critical edition of the single most important source of the French basse danse. It provides emended choreographies and music for all the dances, including the choreographies of some not hitherto included in collections It also covers historical and palaeographical aspects of the manuscript in general and of the dances in particular. An appendix briefly discusses questions of performance, and demonstrates how all the steps cited in the manuscript might be interpreted. Robert Mullally was a student for some years in Wendy Hilton?s Historical Dance classes. He has published extensively in well-known academic journals on various aspects of the subject and on related topics. His PhD thesis (King?s College London, 2007) on a medieval dance, the carole, was published in 2011. You'll find full details and ordering facilities on our home page, www.dancebooks.co.uk From lindahl at pbm.com Mon Jun 15 16:18:29 2015 From: lindahl at pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2015 13:18:29 -0700 Subject: [SCA-Dance] Anyone have any comments for _Cherwell Thy Wyne_ ? In-Reply-To: <20150615181831.GC9901@rd.bx9.net> References: <20150615181831.GC9901@rd.bx9.net> Message-ID: <20150615201829.GB30955@rd.bx9.net> Paul Kent just dropped me a note asking if anyone had comments on his DHDS publication _Cherwell Thy Wyne_, about Gresley dances. I bought it but it's still sitting in my "to read" pile... bad Gregory. Anyway, he says that it's sold quite well, which is great, but he would love to hear from people who've actually tried to dance from it, or, I know there are several folks in the SCA who've studied the original manuscript carefully and might have notes about his reconstruction. If you have either kind of comment, drop me a line, and I'll hook you up with him.

Janelle Durham on July 3, 2011 posted that it is in "Music in Welsh Culture before 1650: a Study of the Principal Sources" by Sally Harper. Emil Stecher on November 3, 1998 re-posted a post from sca-minstrels by Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glas Vryn which included the whole quote with the list of people and the list of dances. Of course, the name of a tune does not guarantee that it is the same tune we call by that name, much less that they were dancing the same dance to it . . . --Urraca On Sat, May 16, 2015 at 11:44 PM, Sarah Scroggie wrote: > I just bumped into this list of tunes from? randomly searching "the shaking > of the sheets" - I had not seen this before - so I thought all of you also > might not have seen it -? and it has an extraordinary number of tune names > that correspond to Playford tune names some 50 years later... > > http://heatherrosejones.com/welshfaqs/music.html#Playlist > >?

How to Recover from a Dance Mishap, 1538 [from Negri] Urraca and Perronnelle both point out that I misread the article. Urraca wrote, "That advice is not from Negri, but from Antonius Arena. The Guardian used an *illustration* from Negri's 'Le Graties d'Amore' because 'Leges Dansandi' has no illustrations." Indeed, the caption on the section cites that Arena source, and Negri is the caption on the photo. (I had had the impression that Negri was much later than 1538, but didn't check.) My apologies for the misreading.
