Coming Saturday I am to play for two hours during a dinner. The
request was for early-Baroque dance music, but I think that can be
interpreted as anything between 1500 and 1700 of a lively nature. I'll
bring a pile of music, so no fear of silence - and I can improvise
music of a lively nature
I play brunch music at a coffee shop every 2 weeks and my latest idea
is to go for variety in tempo, key and style. I also divide up the
longer pavans and intricate pieces with some of those short page-filler
toys and pop tunes or branles. I have just put a couple new short,

David,
I take it you're looking for a couple of no-page-turns, lots-o'-
variety readable books. Pickering can work if you're sure you've got
enough light. Phalese '68 has quite a few dances and oodles of anticho
noodles + quite a few chansons that might work in your case too. I
know this
Just a tip: play while they are eating, much more silence :-)
Best regards,

Thanks to all of you --Chris, Dana, Ron, Ed, David-- who responded to my
BMI question.
This is what I have learned:
1. I composed all this music -- I have already contacted the Recovered
Memory Project.

of the dancers I have played live music for seem to prefer a tempo that
brings them to exhaustion. Some dances benefit with a more stately
performance tho.

For these types of occasions, I have a notebook with all my favorite
pieces to play, so I do not have to bring piles of books. I have
photocopied all my favorites, so I do not have to search through
books. Something light, airy and fun is also useful, some Scottich
pieces from Rowalle
In the Milleran manuscript, Francois Mouton transcribed a good number of
relatively easy Lully dances for his pupil, Ph. Milleran.
It's very nice Baroque dance music, easy to listen and a fantastic start for

Hello David:
I recommend interesting and tuneful variations: Piccinini's Saravanda,
Une jeune fillette from Schele, So-called Dump Philli from Marsh, John
Johnson's fminor passamezzo, any of the many Goings from Windows,
Monsieur's Almain from 3056...Isn't it fun to get paid for prac
