Plays the tunes.

Nonesuch

Well, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? So much for a dance a day…

This is Nonesuch, not None Such. It went from no accidentals to two (i.e. from Dorian to Major/Ionian) in the second edition, so here are both.

May Day

You’ll probably find me in bed when this post goes online, I was up long before the day-O to welcome in the Summer time, to welcome in the May-O.

Harper’s Frolic

From the “I’ve been playing this for years but never knew the title” files.

Merrily Kissed the Quaker

A jig, but a jig with more bits in it than many jigs.

Over the Hills and Far Away

At some point every musician will receive a request to perform this march. The trick is to have already done it.

There is a Tavern in the Town

East end of London. Getting closer.

Turkey in the Straw

Somehow overshot on my way back from France and ended up in the Appalachians. Whoops.

Bourrée de Concours

Another French one, as I have that book open :). This is a Bourrée deux temps, but then I’ve never danced a Bourrée trois temps.

Scottish à Malochet

Nothing says “St. George’s Day” like a French bal.
