Canon Galop Quadrille Performance 

Just love the dance and costumes! Do you know where this is?

I agree about Josef Strauss. We're all fortunate that he gave up his civil engineering career to devote his life to music.

@@moxieola I was pretty pleased with myself for making the connection! I've played the Canon Galop many times, and was listening to Josef's Quadrille Feast on Dailymotion (Ziehereien 478) an hour ago when Folichon came up. I went to Romany Polka first, thence to Canon - and bingo! I love the work you do with dancers - ballroom is wonderful, and your folks are so talented and elegant; thank you.

Hello, sir. Can you, please, tell me, where I can find a version for Canon Galopade Quadrille ?

@@user-jl9wj9si7w Sorry, but I don't know . . . other than to get in touch with Prof. Richard Powers at Stanford University in California.

It's very good idea (it's very funny). But I asked my teacher for the music and he already sent me it yesterday.

Excellent eye, to spot circa 1850s costumes, with petticoats, back when hoops were not yet in fashion. These dancers you see make their own costumes, and they each make three costumes for the 19th century. One for Regency Era, one for mid-century, and one for late-century. They do *not* each make ten costumes, one for each decade. I don't know any vintage dance performing group that does. 1860s hoops are easier than 1850s multiple petticoats, which is why most other vintage groups choose 1860s. So why do does Danse Libre choose 1850s or for mid century? 1) Most of their mid-century repertoire is dances from the 1840s and 1850s. 2) Because 1860s dances like this can still be danced in 1850s petticoats, as you see. But not vice versa. 1840s and '50s polkas and mazurkas cannot be authentically danced in 1860s hoops because the hoops sway like bells, and expose women's ankles and legs. This is why the polka and mazurka faded quickly when hoops came in.

Please - what is the title of the tune? Composer? Sheet music availability? CD? AND help would be appreciated.

@@ShanghaiPascoe It's the last movement of Folichon-Quadrille by Josef Strauss, enjoy.

@@alexa5556 Yes. Thankyou. I did enjoy - and the previous movement I then found on line. I love the Strauss family and music by other composers of that period. It is wonderful to dance to.

Estoy igual!!! Quería verlo con mis propios ojos ☺️
