gefällt mir außerordentlich gut und es ist eine schöne Idee, die damen mal von oben zu filmen. da sieht man die cheoreographie auch vieeeel besser! und die schönen kleider... :-)
That makes more sense. The group I dance with has a turn single after the hey and it always feels like a scramble to get in place for it with no way to do it gracefully and on the beat.
The Turn Single doesn't come after the Hey normally, it is just done by the men as the ladies finish their Hey, so that everyone is moving at the end of the dance.
It is in 6/8 not 4/4. However, nice though the tune is, a look at the book 'the complete country dance tunes' by Jeremy Barlow shows some confusion about the key and if it is major (in D) of as in this video. The mystery of the missing sharp.
Exquisitely done, all involved. I'm curious, where was this filmed? The open atmosphere is perfect. And the clothes! Oh, so beautiful! Did you all sew them yourselves? If so, where can I find the patterns?
The upload note says the recording was done in the former Cistercian monastery in Kostanjevica, Slovenia. Today, the Gothic church serves as an exhibition space.
Many (most? almost all??) of the tunes in Playford's collection date from an earlier time. I'm not sure if Black Nag is one of those that can be specifically found in an earlier source. Playford dances are often performed at Renaissance Faires (which are typically late 16th century, up to a hundred years before English Dancing-master); it is not a great stretch of the imagination to suppose that many of them, like 'The Health' and 'Parson's Farewell' - found in Praetorius for some reason - were danced (in some form) in that period. Of course, nowadays at such festivals nobody really gives a figge about authenticity anyway.
Lasts are not crossing correctly, they should do it back to back with the right shoulder foremost, also the men should turn single in the last 2 bars as the ladies finish the hey.
The only instructions we have are "First man and last wo. change places". We have no idea how they crossed! In a social dance why would you pass back to back ignoring each other? I always call it with left shoulder first and face to face.
Today, I used this to teach over 200 8th grade students the dance for U.S. history. Thank you!
This is amazing! The comments right out of the Playford, laid out from above. ! Fantastic!!
Thanks for uploading this! It helps me a lot work with my music students at school.
Brilliant indeed, both interpretation and the accompanying Playford instructions. Well done and thank you :-)
How I cry when I saw this dance ,God forbid. I was shocked deeply, how it describes the realty of the old days.
They dance as if they had small wheels under the skirts, fun~ But most importantly, this angle shows the chreography very clearly.
Deborah Harkness references this dance in her novel Shadow of Night, a historical fantasy. Lovely to see this in Elizabethan dresses and music
Super!Hail to the Ladies! Reverance and greetings from Warsaw-we will try to learn.Thank you for such clear view of the choreography!
Thank you for sharing, it has helped us see the dance from a different view. It is most excellently done!
Sehr schön gemacht und sehr lehrreich

We used to do this dance at school in "country dancing" class 60 years ago.
This presentation is lovely! Seeing the women move is, as one comment says, like they are on wheels.
Sehr schön getanzt!
Schön ,
This video helped so much at my school because we have a renaissance fair coming up
❤
England's early pop music.
Everyone here is trying to learn how to dance this and I'm just trying to figure out how tf the flautist is going that fast, like damn
This is beautiful. Well done! BTW, you mean "slip" not "flip"

I know it's meant to be 6/8, but in this video it's being played in 4/4 (with a crotchet-quaver-quaver rhythm).
A phantastic view - not only with respect to any didactic reasons.

The clothes have been sewed in Slovenia by a Lady who makes costumes
:) Schoen :)
Wo spielt das?
Also... can I request the Whirlygig recorded in the same fashion?
@vanessaunrau hallo, we prepared some other dances from playford, unfortunately the requested dance is not part of our repertory
caroso1581 hello, who is playing this music? I'd like to have it. Regards Maria
Плейфордовские танцы очень приятно танцевать. Они, как бы так выразиться, логичные, что ли.
It’s not by John Playford, it was collected by him I believe?

Hmm... you're playing this in 4/4 or some other simple time signature. Normally it's 6/8. Sounds good though.

Uhh, ich habe mich geirrt... ;) Ich sollte schreiben: "Wer spielt das?" :)
Ich kann nicht das so schnell spielen.... :)

Enthralling
