Christian,

Thank you so much for your quick reply; I only have Volume 1 of Musica
Subterranea at the moment, but plan to purchase the other two.  I have also
downloaded some of the mp3's from the waterloo website, but some of the
versions
were ones which I am unfamiliar with. 


I hope to bring dance back to Grimfells, and help our newer members feel
confident enough to dance a few rounds when they attend events around the
kingdom.

Je Reste,
En Service au Reve,
Nicolas

Subject: [CalontirDance] Finding Dance Music

 
Good Lord Nicolas,

I have The SCA Dance Search Engine at
http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/Music/bookmarked. It is a powerful depository
of dance instruction, sheet music,
and recordings of dance music.

Having said that, the recordings are by far the most sparsely represented,
and perhaps for good reason. Many arrangers have generously made their
sheet music freely available, at least for purposes within the Society, but
there are fewer musicians who have been willing to freely distribute the CDs
which cost them money to produce.

Do you have all three volumes of the Musica Subterranea collection? Those
cover just about every dance I've seen in Calontir.

Is any of this helpful?

--In joy and service,
Christian d'Hiver

This just in there will be dancing at the Grand Melee in Three Rivers this
weekend. It will occur Saturday evening
Approx 7 PM or 1 hour after court ends, whichever is later. This will likely
overlap in time and be nearby the dinner grill
area.

So bring something to grill, put it on the fire and dance a bit while it cooks.
Or have yourself a fine dinner and dance it off afterwards.

Musicians wanted. Dances will be chosen randomly from a list of available music!

My apologies to those who get this more than once, I am hoping to spread
this missive as far and wide as I can:



Greetings unto the great Populace of Calontir,



My name is Roberto, and I am the new Lanner Herald.  For those that do not
know what this name means, I will explain.  I am the Kingdom Deputy Herald
for Ceremony.  It is my duty to help any and all who have a ceremony to
plan, make those plans successful.



As such, I am starting a grand project.  I would like to document any and
all ceremonies that have ever happened in this Kingdom.  This is a daunting
task, and I know I will never be 100% successful.  But to this end I have a
plea to anyone and everyone willing to help.



If you have any ceremonies in your possession, that have ever happened in
this Kingdom, please send me a copy?  I will not distribute these as such,
but I will compile them all, and use them as a resource to help guide anyone
wishing input on a ceremony they want to put together.



What kind of ceremony am I looking for you may ask?



Any.



This can include, but is sincerely not limited to:

Knighting, Laureling, Pelicaning, Rose ceremonies, Coronations, crowning of
victors at Crown Tournament, Baronial investitures, taking of associates
(any level, any type), any ceremonies involving the bestowing of court
baronages, or royal perrages, and any vigil ceremonies, or anything else you
can think of.



Why do I wish to do this?  We have some WONDERFUL creative people in this
Kingdom, and we have had some amazing ceremonies.  But we have no central
repository of them.  If we can create said central repository, then if
anyone ever asks when, or how something happened we can answer the question.



Eventually I hope to help people with both SCA central ceremonies, and
period ceremonies, and the differences between them.  But in order to build
this knowledgebase, I must have a base to work from.



Any of these can be delivered to me during any event I am at, or can be sent
electronically, or through modern postal services.  My information will be
in the MEWS, as  all Kingdom officers and deputies are, or I can be
contacted through the email lanner (at) Calontir (dot) info



I look forward to any and all submissions, and thank you all for your help.



Please repost this to any lists you happen to belong to.  If someone can get
this to the peerage lists as well, that would be MOST helpful.



Again, my most humble thanks.



In Service,



Lord Roberto Carlos Dominguez

Lanner Herald

Greetings unto the list!
For those of you attending Fall RUSH this week in Axed Root, here are a few
snippets of information about Iowa State's Memorial Union:

The main level is also known as the Second Floor.  If you find a parking space
on level 2 of the parking ramp you will enter the building on the same level as
the registration area (Campanile Room), TRM Privy (Oak Room), Great Hall, and
most importantly--the Gold Room, where the dance classes will take place.  [Some
other classes will be on the 3rd floor.]

But not to worry, there is stair/elevator access from all levels of the parking
ramp to all levels of the MU.  I do recommend parking at the site, even though
it's paid parking, simply for the convenience.  (And remember, there's no site
fee!)  All of the classrooms are on the east side of the building, as is the
parking ramp.

For those of you teaching the dance classes: the Gold Room has built-in
speakers.  So, depending on what sort of device you bring to play your class
music, you may be able to plug directly into the sound system.  There will be
someone in the Building Manager's office on Saturday to help with set-up, if
necessary.

Our hosts for this event are the students in the ISU Medieval Re-creationist
Club--you may see that name on some of the signage--because Axed Root itself is
a community group, not a college group.  The student group is small in numbers
but brave in spirit; please thank them for making the arrangements.  :-)

Let me know if there are more questions!  We are really excited about this event
and are looking forward to seeing many of you on Saturday.
YIS,
Susanna de l'Essart

I've been looking at the dance "Drive the Cold Winter Away."

A transcription of Playford's descriftion is here:
http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/~praetzel/dances/Playford/DriveWinter.txt

I'm having a hard time visualizing what's going on here during the refrain. 
Could someone kindly walk me through this?

--In joy and service,

Oh a nice brain puzzle :)


>first man backe a D.

Back away from partner a double

>then goe downe between the rest

pass between the couples toward the bottom of the set

>and turne the last Wo but one

Turn (with 2 hands?) the second to last woman

>then the last,

Turn the last woman

>and stay there

Fall into last mans place

>while the other men go between the 2. and the third We. and goe toward the left
hand and fall downe to the first man

As the same time the second man passes between 2nd and 3rd women, goes toward
the head of the line, around the first woman on down on the mans side of the
line towards the 2nd to last mans place.

All other men follow so that the mens line is now reversed.

>First man back, then goe up between the rest, turne the second Wo. then the
first while the men go between the two last We. turne towards the right hand and
goe up to your places

Essentially the reverse of the above, with the first man tuning the 2nd and
first woman then returning to place,  with the line of men going through the 2nd
to last and last woman then around the bottom then up to their places.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Seems a little odd the in the first you go between the 2nd and 3rd, but in the
second you go between the last and second to last. I think for the timing the
2nd through last man could start moving up just after the first mans has passed
between them and their partner. Since this is long ways for as many as will ,
this will take a variable amount of time depending on the number of couples.

Agree here too.  The trick to this will be the timing for the dancers
against the music.  Since its for as many as will the pit master would need
to be able to alter the number of repeats on the fly.  This is why the
Playford Project set "as many as will" to be 4 couples in a bunch of the
redactions - so we could have set music for the musicians and the boom box
to practice with.  Somethings are just easier for dancers and musicains
doing this as a hobby to deal with.

I don't know about the dance, but I have played a tune with the same title.  We
used it as a waltz for a contra.  There is a song on some Celtic Christmas
albums with the same tune.  I am hoping it is the same one.  Do you have a link
for the tune, or shall I shuffle around in the sca waterloo site?

Thanks, Conrad.  It really is the same tune, just arranged a LEETLE bit
different.   This is a beautiful tune, and there are lyrics very good for
holiday time that go with it.  i wonder when they were composed?

The Playford tune, earliest known 1666, says Simpson in _The British
Broadside Ballad & Its Music_. The lyrics, well, that depends on which
lyrics you're looking at. None are known to be pre-1600.

I know Lilies is a long way off, but I would like your opinion on the location
of the music tent during the coming year.  I am on Lilies staff this year as
music coordinator.  What are your feelings about music by the battlefield?
    With the battlefield located down near "Hell and Gone," some of you thought
that was quite a trek with instruments, chairs and stands.  Also, we did have
problems with the fighters keeping equipage in our area, which had to be moved
each time we had a class or rehearsal.  In the past, the fighters had expressed
appreciation for music at the battlefield, so I would like you to ask your
favorite fighter about it. As far as I know, I am the only one who held a music
class there last year.
     Would you be interested in moving the music tent to, say, archery area this
year?  This would put music up in that part of the camp, and it would be
appreciated by both the archers and merchants in that area.  Would you like
music to stay near the battlefield, but have our tent separated from fighters
and waterbearing by some yards, if possible?  What if the music tent was near
the Broken Harp, so that Middle Eastern dance and music could also use it in the
evenings informally?

Discuss!  Get back to me with your thoughts!
Thanks,
Ly Brighid O'Mahuna of Flinthyll

Has it been definitely determined that the battlefield will be in the same
location this year?

I believe that there is no problem being wherever the battlefield is as long as
this time the waterbearers tent is between us and fighter tents.  The fact that
we were right next to them was confusing to some of them about usage.  If not by
the battlefield then the next best idea would be in the A and S area.  Of course
with the music classes usually there (I plan on teaching a couple myself) that
might not be a bad idea either.  If it is in A and S then noontime singing and
all other activities might be more regularly attended.  (Hope I didn't make it
all more confusing).

Thanks, Zino.  Still gathering information from folks, so I will let everyone

I might  like to hear from some of the fighters. In the past, they've liked
having the musicians nearby. This year (I think for the first time), none of
the fighters came to me to say they enjoyed it. Maybe they're just used to
it, so didn't think to mention it. :)  I'm not sure. But it might be worth
asking around a bit.

In the past, we haven't met in the RUSH area because we're such a
disturbance to the other classes. I think it makes sense for us to be away
from the other RUSH classes. I'd like to be in a spot where we can add to
the ambiance for people. (Noontime singing works ok in the RUSH area because
there are no other classes during that hour.)

I can also see an argument for having music near the Broken Harp. It's worth
discussing, I think.

Cheers!

I strongly urge everyone who is even remotely interested in Heraldic,
Scribal or Dance to plan to go, and if you have something, anything that
gives you the fire of fun, teach it.



This Symposium is proving to be a very valuable event, and the timing this
year should make it a very nice time.



Again, teach, come, have fun J

Scribal and Dance Symposium





<<Sorry for more than one received >>

It's coming up, April 9th.
The one time of year (well this year) that Bellewode opens it's gate
and invites the Kingdom and her visitors into the college to learn
college-y stuff. Or more importantly Heraldric, Scribal and Dance-y
stuff.

However, we have one issue...teachers. Not an issue with them
personally, just we don't have many. So we are asking the Kingdom
populace if they have any classes they would like to teach the rest of
the Kingdom. Classes can be of any difficulty level, and for any of
the three available themes, as specific or general as you would like
them.

Class blocks will start on the hour for an hour, starting at 9:00am
going through till 4pm, with a break from 12 to 1 for lunch, and the
last class starting at 3. If a class is two hours long, just note in
response and we will mark it on the schedule.

Send an email to me, Leonardus, with the following information if you
would like to teach.
Your SCA Name
Class Name
Class Description
Difficulty (if any)
Preferred time (or AM/PM)
Length of Class
And if you need anything special such as projectors, electricity,
extra tables/chairs, if you will need one of the larger rooms for
dancing...

If you have any questions or concerns, shoot me an email.

Thanks so much, and Yours in Song and Service,
