Dances and Music
We perform a mixture of Morris dances, both North West and garland.
Some dances are traditional, some are 'borrowed' from other teams and
others are our own, based on traditional steps and figures.
Below is a list of the dances in our current
repertoire and their corresponding music. The clickable dance titles
are links to files containing the music in
abc format
. Of the Windows software for producing sheet music and
midi files from
abc files,
MCMusiceditor is probably the easiest to get going..
Clicking
pdf, where it occurs after a dance title, should produce the sheet music for the dance in
pdf format.
Many of the tunes are derived from those found on the
JC's ABC Tune Finder [tunefind] on trillian.mit.edu web site
and modified to suit our dances.
The clickable music titles are links to
midi files which can be played using Windows Media Player (or any one of several other
programs). If you need files in the (much bigger)
MP3 format and don't know how to convert from
midi, then email me, the
webmaster, stating which title(s) you want and I'll try to oblige.
