I've been listening to Sir Derek Jacobi narrating Ellis Peters' 'The Year of the Danes'. One of the characters was Bishop Roger de Clinton. My mind did one of its strange connections and 'Sir Roger de Coverley' took its place. It looks similar to some of the Scottish Country Dances I enjoyed when much younger although I would be hard-pressed to recall their names now.
Yes but not intirely because we sometimes replace the waltzy sequence, knowing that the dance is a bit early for that , by allemande turns. Sometimes we even use a complete poussette as a third alternative.
Bravo les danseurs et la maîtresse de danse, c'est beau comme l'eau d'une rivière qui tourne et vire fluidement, ça donne envie de vous rejoindre dans la danse. Mais j'ai envie de faire souffler une brise euphorisante dans votre gymnase afin d'éclairer vos visages de sourires !
Played this on my recorder in school aged 10. At 12 we studied the English Civil War, starring the Prince. At 18 i read The Stranger Prince and became a lifelong fan. Thank you for this.
Yes indeed. Very basic figures very nicely put together. The opening figure of the second part has been re-used in the Lancers. Thank you for watching and commenting
I've got to say that I love seeing the female dancers wearing more delicate looking shoes in this video instead of thick, heavy, dark shoes that i see in so many other period dance videos. These pale, more feminine shoes enhance the light, quick-footed look of the dance. It was fun to watch.
Very lovely performance by both dancers and musicians! The videography is a little strange, though, taken from the "end" of the hall, so that we see the second couple (the twos) more prominently than the ones. But this is also somewhat useful for learning the dance, if the viewer has already seen the usual view from the front (the ones) elsewhere.
This brought back unhappy memories of dancing at Clapham Manor School. Everytime it rained, we were denied the pleasure of playing outside. Instead it was folk dancing partnered by a boy i couldn't stand because his surname was alphabetically next to mine in the register.
You have my commiserations. I speak from the other side of the fence since I frequently was partnered with a girl who just could not keep the dance steps in her head. It made for a most unpleasant period of its duration.
Completely anachronistic. Written by James (Jaques) Paisible and Henry Purcell respectively, these dances were published in 1695 and 1698 . There is absolutely no way that they would have still been danced in an era when fashionable novelty was at a premium. But congratulations to the arranger, who had the effrontery to "improve on" Purcell's harmonizations.
I t does not seem useful to repeat what we already mentioned in the caption accompanying the video which it seems that you have not cared to read before writing this unpleasant and rude comment. We do know that Regency dancers would have chosen other dancers and we have a playlist devoted to this period. As for the music, you should address your grievance to the Assembly Players for this video but also to the countless bands which have recorded this tune ! Chestnut is very grateful to The Assembly Players for their work for the dancers, We do not always agree with their biais but their recordings are useful nonetheless.
Yes indeed it is the Chestnut revised version of the John Playford dance edited in 1651. This version and a simpler one will be danced at the Chestnut period ball due June 9th. Thank you for watching
Kyk dat is pas dansen, en zo romantisch, zo begon ik ook toen, dansles ,by Kees Henny ,in het buurthuis, bertemanplein Amsterdam! In de jaren zestig ,zo gezellig!
It is amazing dance and lovely settings. I really enjoy watching elegant kadues and gentlemen recreating true environment of that epoch. I remember tales of my late granny about past times when I spent long dark evenings in her company and watching this dance bring to my memory these evenings.
