Event Description
No one knows who collected the 104 country dances in Playford's 1651 publication, or where he found them. And yet, they have become the core of a living repertoire that's still being played and danced to today.
 
Each week we'll look at 7 tunes from the original edition; tracing their origins, analyzing their structure, creating harmonies, improvising ornaments, devising counter melodies and descants, and designing bass lines. 40% discussion, 60% playing.
 
$20 per class. Other class times are possible.
