[Callers] Re: Recordings of 40 Bar Tunes
Let's try that again with the link included. Here's a 40-bar singing square from the 1950s. It's only 6 times through, but it's in five 8-bar phrases (two in the "A" part, three in the "B"). https://archive.org/details/78_banjo-pickers-ball_schroeders-playboys-jerry-allen-mr-banjo-jad-paul-freddy-mor_gbia0024730a Tony Parkes Billerica, Massachusetts, USA -Original Message- From: Amy Cann via Contra Callers Sent: Friday, January 3, 2020 1:48 PM To: John Sweeney Cc: contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net Subject: [Callers] Re: Recordings of 40 Bar Tunes I'm going to head off-list and talk to my friend Norb Spencer, accordionist extraordinaire, major tune-hound, and player of all three likely-to-be-not-32 genres (Oldtime, Fr.C, and Scottish).

Hi Amy, You asked about the 40-bar dance. The dance I am currently working on is " Ladies Walk Around Their Contra " http://contrafusion.co.uk/Dances/FormationsDances.html#LadiesWalk I was at a dance on New Year's Eve where it was called and realised it was a new formation for me. It is a Becket dance for Trios (Lady-Man-Lady). It is Formation #102 at http://contrafusion.co.uk/Formations.html I don't know who wrote it. Does anyone know? A good 40-bar tune will also be useful for: "Major Hey" by Erik Hoffman http://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=5030 “Apple Pie Quadrille” by Ron Beeson http://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=12522 "Not So Solitary" by me (Nine dancers in a 3x3 grid doing lots of Heys) Thanks.

Hi Dave, No, I didn’t mean to be that specific. 8s and 16s are fine - it’s the 12/24 that messes it up. (Sorry, I’m a dancer, not a musician, so I think in beats since I don’t really know what a bar is!) (OK, I do really - I play concertina by ear for the Morris, but have no musical training so bars tend to confuse me.) I now have “Waverley Station - The Phoenix; Traveling West; Spirit of the House” which is fine. Other recommendations are still welcome :-) Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England j...@modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://contrafusion.co.uk/KentCeilidhs.html for Live Music Ceilidhs http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent http://www.modernjive.com for Modern Jive DVDs From: Dave Casserly Sent: 03 January 2020 16:15 To: Amy Cann Cc: John Sweeney ; contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net Subject: Re: [Callers] Re: Recordings of 40 Bar Tunes As far as Scottish goes, I sent John a recording of a set David Knight put together for Foggy River Reel, which is done to 40-bar tunes. It's usually done as 8-8-8-16 (ABABB or ABABC), though, which doesn't really fit what he's looking for (16-16-16-16-16). I would imagine there are others on this list who would know of other recordings for Foggy River Reel or other 40-bar SCD reels.

Hi Brooke, Yes, that would break the Hey up for the dance that I have in mind. I have Dr Faustus’ Jig for 16-16-24-24. I really need 16-16-16-16-16.
