Playford's The Dancing Master is the classic compendium of English country dance tunes. First published in 1651 it went through eighteen editions in almost 80 years. In its day it was the most popular collection of its kind and engendered numerous imitations. The tunes selected by Playford and his successors were taken from many sources and demonstrate the extraordinary richness and vitality of popular melody in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This book brings together for the first time under one cover 535 tunes and their variants from the eighteen original editions. It provides a fund of musical material for performers whether folk musicians orbaroque instrumentalists and for class and instrumental music teachers. It is also an invaluable reference book for anyone interested in the history of English music.

Glitter and glamour good-looking people a lot of Bling Bling and fast cars – images like these will cross our minds when we think of the movie world. However reality proves to be different : as a rule a tremendous amount of work will have been done on the set before a film is ready to be shown on the big screen. A visit to an actual movie set inspired John Emerson Blackstone to write a composition bearing the same name. He had both seen a number of characteristic attributes and heard the typical phrases used in film making and he incorporated them into ‘On the Movie Set’ . In the first part ‘The Clapboard’ a ‘director’s assistant’ is supposed to shout “Quieton the set’” and “Action!” as is done before a real scene is shot. Subsequently in order to create the right atmosphere the clacking of a ‘Clapboard’ should be heard. During a romantic scene we should be transported to another world by means of sweet sounds in the background so romantic music is of course heard in the next part ‘Love Scene’. At the end of a long working day ‘It’s a wrap’ is called on the set to inform everyone that the filming on that day is completed. Now there is only one more thing left to dream of : an Oscar..... Perf. Note: The use of the right props will add to the performance and appreciation of ‘On the Movie Set’. A red carpet and a glamorous reception should give your audience the feeling they are attending a real ‘opening night’!
