Hi there!

My crew did a Yule Ball about four years ago to modern music. I discovered
pretty quickly that it's actually somewhat difficult to get things to fit
correctly without editing the music--which is what I ended up having to do,
since I didn't want to modify the dances. I still have my old Yule Ball CD
somewhere, so I can look up what I did, or send it to you. (I'm at work
though, now, and can't get to that CD until afterwards. Sigh.)

One that I do remember is that we did Hole in the Wall to "The Holly and the
Ivy" by Medieval Baebes. It was lovely, and required no editing :-) I also
mixed Sleigh Ride to fit "Black Nag"--the galumphing bits really fit quite
well.
