David Jacobs:

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

For example:-

Tune Manuscripts List

2016-04-22T01:44:02Z

David Jacobs:

This is a list of what are often referred to as Fiddler's Tunebooks, though they were sometimes evidently written by flute players or other instrumentalists. As well as dance tunes, they often contain psalms, hymns, songs and militia tunes. Though many of these MSS may be inaccessible to the general reader, their presence on the list will give some flavour of what was once out there.
Some minor MSS have been omitted as being based on uncertain information, or containing too few dance tunes. Most of the items are 18th/19thC, though a historically significant 20thC MS may occasionally merit inclusion.
It is based on the database of historical dance tune manuscripts compiled for the [[Village Music Project]]. It represents the majority of the significant manuscripts containing a useful number of dance tunes on record as existing somewhere, but it is admittedly at this time weighted towards English manuscripts (even when the MS presently resides elsewhere). We hope to see more lines added. Feel free to add information, links, etc.

Chris Partington

Some of these collections have been transcribed into [[ABC notation]].

Some of these collections are available as facsimiles, as indicated.

VWML is the [http://www.vwml.org/browse/browse-collections-dance-tune-books Vaughan Williams Memorial Library] website, where you will find facsimiles of some of the collections.

VWML "With ABC Transcriptions" indicates the ABC transcription will display and play next to the scanned facsimiles by following the vwml link.

VMP indicates that a [http://www.village-music-project.org.uk/ Village Music Project] ABC transcription of the collection is available by following the link.

EDS (erstwhile English Dance & Song) refers to the magazine of the [http://www.efdss.org/ English Folk Dance & Song Society].

FMJ is The Folk Music Journal, the annual academic publication of the EFDSS.

EASMES is [http://www.cdss.org/elibrary/Easmes/index.html Early American Secular Music and its European Sources]. Most of the EASMES mss referred to are late eighteenth century or early nineteenth and contain much/mostly British material, often with a leavening of Yankee Doodle and Revolutionary War marches.

North American music manuscripts have very recently been the beneficiaries of a large amount of funding, resulting in a very significant digitisation project, which I have yet to incorporate into the list but which can be found at [http://popmusic.mtsu.edu/manuscriptmusic/default.aspx Digital Collections from the American Antiquarian Society and the Center for Popular Music].

List of historical tunebooks, some of which are available on the internet

David Jacobs: Add reference to manuscript links at VWML, also DJ adding dance notes.

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

David Jacobs: Twelve Country Dances for the year 1772 For Harpsichord with Figured Bass and Dance instruction

Twelve Country Dances for the year 1772 For Harpsichord with Figured Bass and Dance instruction

List of historical tunebooks, some of which are available on the internet

David Jacobs:

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

David Jacobs: Removed duplicate entry for Rutherford Vol2

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

List of historical tunebooks, some of which are available on the internet

2016-02-22T04:42:12Z

David Jacobs: Added John Rutherford's 12 Country Dances to Historical Tune and Dance Book list, ongoing transcription.

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

* [[John Walsh Senior|WALSH]],John; ''The Compleat Country Dancing-Master''; The 1718/9 editions (called here Series1) were "issued in the precise style of the later copies of Playford's ' Dancing Master ' ; the contents in fact were almost identical to, and no doubt intended to intercept the sale of, the original," F.Kidson; Beginning again in 1731, Walsh issued a set of country dance books with 300 dances, two to a page(called here Series2). In the 1740s he started a new series of 204 dances, reusing many of the older plates in new sequences (called here Series3). He advertised the 6-book set in 1754.

Tune Manuscripts List

2016-02-21T07:36:38Z

David Jacobs:

This is a list of what are often referred to as Fiddler's Tunebooks, though they were sometimes evidently written by flute players or other instrumentalists. As well as dance tunes, they often contain psalms, hymns, songs and militia tunes. Though many of these MSS may be inaccessible to the general reader, their presence on the list will give some flavour of what was once out there.
Some minor MSS have been omitted as being based on uncertain information, or containing too few dance tunes. Most of the items are 18th/19thC, though a historically significant 20thC MS may occasionally merit inclusion.
It is based on the database of historical dance tune manuscripts compiled for the [[Village Music Project]]. It represents the majority of the significant manuscripts containing a useful number of dance tunes on record as existing somewhere, but it is admittedly at this time weighted towards English manuscripts (even when the MS presently resides elsewhere). We hope to see more lines added. Feel free to add information, links, etc.

Chris Partington

Some of these collections have been transcribed into [[ABC notation]].

Some of these collections are available as facsimiles, as indicated.

VWML is the [http://www.vwml.org/browse/browse-collections-dance-tune-books Vaughan Williams Memorial Library] website, where you will find facsimiles of some of the collections.

VWML "With ABC Transcriptions" indicates the ABC transcription will display and play next to the scanned facsimiles by following the vwml link.

VMP indicates that a [http://www.village-music-project.org.uk/ Village Music Project] ABC transcription of the collection is available by following the link.

EDS (erstwhile English Dance & Song) refers to the magazine of the [http://www.efdss.org/ English Folk Dance & Song Society].

FMJ is The Folk Music Journal, the annual academic publication of the EFDSS.

EASMES is [http://www.cdss.org/elibrary/Easmes/index.html Early American Secular Music and its European Sources]. Most of the EASMES mss referred to are late eighteenth century or early nineteenth and contain much/mostly British material, often with a leavening of Yankee Doodle and Revolutionary War marches.

North American music manuscripts have very recently been the beneficiaries of a large amount of funding, resulting in a very significant digitisation project, which I have yet to incorporate into the list but which can be found at [http://popmusic.mtsu.edu/manuscriptmusic/default.aspx Digital Collections from the American Antiquarian Society and the Center for Popular Music].

Tune Manuscripts List

2016-02-20T12:24:22Z

David Jacobs: Notice of transcription for Moore Book 1 at VWML

This is a list of what are often referred to as Fiddler's Tunebooks, though they were sometimes evidently written by flute players or other instrumentalists. As well as dance tunes, they often contain psalms, hymns, songs and militia tunes. Though many of these MSS may be inaccessible to the general reader, their presence on the list will give some flavour of what was once out there.
Some minor MSS have been omitted as being based on uncertain information, or containing too few dance tunes. Most of the items are 18th/19thC, though a historically significant 20thC MS may occasionally merit inclusion.
It is based on the database of historical dance tune manuscripts compiled for the [[Village Music Project]]. It represents the majority of the significant manuscripts containing a useful number of dance tunes on record as existing somewhere, but it is admittedly at this time weighted towards English manuscripts (even when the MS presently resides elsewhere). We hope to see more lines added. Feel free to add information, links, etc.

Chris Partington

Some of these collections have been transcribed into [[ABC notation]].

Some of these collections are available as facsimiles, as indicated.

VWML is the [http://www.vwml.org/browse/browse-collections-dance-tune-books Vaughan Williams Memorial Library] website, where you will find facsimiles of some of the collections.

VWML "With ABC Transcriptions" indicates the ABC transcription will display and play next to the scanned facsimiles by following the vwml link.

VMP indicates that a [http://www.village-music-project.org.uk/ Village Music Project] ABC transcription of the collection is available by following the link.

EDS (erstwhile English Dance & Song) refers to the magazine of the [http://www.efdss.org/ English Folk Dance & Song Society].

FMJ is The Folk Music Journal, the annual academic publication of the EFDSS.

EASMES is [http://www.cdss.org/elibrary/Easmes/index.html Early American Secular Music and its European Sources]. Most of the EASMES mss referred to are late eighteenth century or early nineteenth and contain much/mostly British material, often with a leavening of Yankee Doodle and Revolutionary War marches.

North American music manuscripts have very recently been the beneficiaries of a large amount of funding, resulting in a very significant digitisation project, which I have yet to incorporate into the list but which can be found at [http://popmusic.mtsu.edu/manuscriptmusic/default.aspx Digital Collections from the American Antiquarian Society and the Center for Popular Music].

List of historical tunebooks, some of which are available on the internet

David Jacobs: Added link to Longman's Cotillions local abc file

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

David Jacobs: Updated link for Rutherford's Vol 2 on vwml.org with ABC Transcriptions

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

Tune Manuscripts List

2016-01-29T03:56:14Z

David Jacobs: Changed key for VWML scans with ABC transcripts and added VWML transcript to Harrison

This is a list of what are often referred to as Fiddler's Tunebooks, though they were sometimes evidently written by flute players or other instrumentalists. As well as dance tunes, they often contain psalms, hymns, songs and militia tunes. Though many of these MSS may be inaccessible to the general reader, their presence on the list will give some flavour of what was once out there.
Some minor MSS have been omitted as being based on uncertain information, or containing too few dance tunes. Most of the items are 18th/19thC, though a historically significant 20thC MS may occasionally merit inclusion.
It is based on the database of historical dance tune manuscripts compiled for the [[Village Music Project]]. It represents the majority of the significant manuscripts containing a useful number of dance tunes on record as existing somewhere, but it is admittedly at this time weighted towards English manuscripts (even when the MS presently resides elsewhere). We hope to see more lines added. Feel free to add information, links, etc.

Chris Partington

Some of these collections have been transcribed into [[ABC notation]].

Some of these collections are available as facsimiles, as indicated.

VWML is the [http://www.vwml.org/browse/browse-collections-dance-tune-books Vaughan Williams Memorial Library] website, where you will find facsimiles of some of the collections.

VWML "With ABC Transcriptions" indicates the ABC transcription will display and play next to the scanned facsimiles by following the vwml link.

VMP indicates that a [http://www.village-music-project.org.uk/ Village Music Project] ABC transcription of the collection is available by following the link.

EDS (erstwhile English Dance & Song) refers to the magazine of the [http://www.efdss.org/ English Folk Dance & Song Society].

FMJ is The Folk Music Journal, the annual academic publication of the EFDSS.

EASMES is [http://www.cdss.org/elibrary/Easmes/index.html Early American Secular Music and its European Sources]. Most of the EASMES mss referred to are late eighteenth century or early nineteenth and contain much/mostly British material, often with a leavening of Yankee Doodle and Revolutionary War marches.

North American music manuscripts have very recently been the beneficiaries of a large amount of funding, resulting in a very significant digitisation project, which I have yet to incorporate into the list but which can be found at [http://popmusic.mtsu.edu/manuscriptmusic/default.aspx Digital Collections from the American Antiquarian Society and the Center for Popular Music].

List of historical tunebooks, some of which are available on the internet

David Jacobs: Added links to Skenes Tunebooks at VWML

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

== The English Folk Dance and Song Society ==
[[Image:Efdss_square.jpg]]

These pages are hosted by the [http://www.efdss.org English Folk Dance and Song Society], the longest running society in England dedicated to promoting the folk arts. With a headquarters in Regent's Park Rd, London and members all over the world, the EFDSS has an important part to play in passing on the traditions and culture of England to those who wish to carry them onward.

The hub of the Society's work is the [http://library.efdss.org Vaughan Williams Memorial Library], a significant multi-media collection in care for the nation.
Most of the major collections of tunes and songs are scanned and available online. An ever increasing number of the dance and tune books documents have been transcribed into ABC format, that display as a score alongside the original, the tunes can also be played online.

The Society is a publisher of books, audio and video and all current titles are sold by mail order or from the [http://folkshop.efdss.org Folkshop].

The quarterly magazine is English Dance and Song which includes online enhancements in the form of audio and pdf files on its [http://eds.efdss.org web site].

The EFDSS also host the web site for the [http://www.folkplay.info/ Traditional Drama Research Group], whose interests are in Mummers Plays and traditional street drama.

== The Morris Ring ==
http://www.themorrisring.org/

== The Morris Federation ==

The Morris Federation began as an organisation for female sides only. In 1980, it opened its doors to mixed sides and in 1982 it became open to any morris side, regardless of gender. A year later, the word 'Women's' was dropped from the name. The Federation has always taken the view that the dances themselves are more important than the gender of the dancers who perform them. It seeks to encourage all who are interested to experience the pleasure of morris dancing and to strive for the highest standard of execution of which they are capable.

http://www.morrisfed.org/

== Open Morris ==

Open Morris began in 1979 as a loose organisation of East Anglian dancers, following efforts by one of the (then) few mixed Morris sides in the country to find local friends and sympathisers.

At that time there was much rivalry between members of the all-male Morris Ring (founded in 1934) on one side and the Women's Morris Federation, which came into being in the mid 1970's on the other. Both organisations agreed that Morris Dancing shouldn't involve a mixing of the sexes! (Although "WMF" did later become the Morris Federation and expanded its membership to include male and mixed groups).

== Folk Arts England ==

FolkArts England (FAE) is a national development agency for Folk, Roots and Traditional Music. It is funded by [http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/| Arts Council England] and incorporates The Association of Festival Organisers (AFO) and publishes Direct Roots, the guide to folk, roots and related music and arts.

==The Folklore Society==

The [[Folklore Society]] (FLS) was founded in 1878 and was one of the first organisations in the world devoted to the study of traditional culture. The term 'folklore' describes the overarching concept that holds together a number of aspects of vernacular culture and cultural traditions, and is also the name of the discipline which studies them.

The Folklore Society's interest and expertise covers topics such as traditional music, song, dance and drama, narrative, arts and crafts, customs and belief. We are also interested in popular religion, traditional and regional food, folk medicine, children's folklore, traditional sayings, proverbs rhymes and jingles.

==The Folk Camps Society==

The Folk Camps Society is a not-for-profit holiday organisation run by its own members. The Society was founded in the early 60s when a group of folk enthusiasts decided it would be fun to go on holiday together, eat together and make their own entertainment without spending a fortune. They run holidays under canvas with an emphasis on folk dance, music and song.

==The Nonsuch Dulcimer Club==

The Nonsuch Dulcimer Club is a national club that promotes all forms of Dulcimer, i.e. Hammered or Plucked Dulcimer, and the Mountain (Lap) Dulcimer. The club has regular newsletters and hosts both national and regional events.

==The Traditional Song Forum==

[http://www.tradsong.org website - www.tradsong.org]

TSF is an informal organisation of researchers and enthusiasts for traditional song and traditional singing whose aim is to encourage research and dissemination of information about traditional song. There are usually three meetings a year in different parts of England where there are presentations of topics related to song research and where members can discuss aspects of their research or use of song with colleagues.

==Society for Storytelling==

Active since June 1993, the SfS is an open organisation which welcomes anyone with an interest in oral storytelling

David Jacobs: Added link to Kitty Bridges tunebook, modified other links

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

David Jacobs:

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

David Jacobs:

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

David Jacobs:

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

Tune Manuscripts List

2016-01-25T00:51:27Z

David Jacobs: Added VWML (ABC) to signify abc transcriptions display alongside original scans. Uploaded Yarkers 1797 file

This is a list of what are often referred to as Fiddler's Tunebooks, though they were sometimes evidently written by flute players or other instrumentalists. As well as dance tunes, they often contain psalms, hymns, songs and militia tunes. Though many of these MSS may be inaccessible to the general reader, their presence on the list will give some flavour of what was once out there.
Some minor MSS have been omitted as being based on uncertain information, or containing too few dance tunes. Most of the items are 18th/19thC, though a historically significant 20thC MS may occasionally merit inclusion.
It is based on the database of historical dance tune manuscripts compiled for the [[Village Music Project]]. It represents the majority of the significant manuscripts containing a useful number of dance tunes on record as existing somewhere, but it is admittedly at this time weighted towards English manuscripts (even when the MS presently resides elsewhere). We hope to see more lines added. Feel free to add information, links, etc.

Some of these collections have been transcribed into [[ABC notation]].

Some of these collections are available as facsimiles, as indicated.

VWML is the [http://www.efdss.org/front/Library%20&%20Archive/about-the-vaughan-williams-memorial-library/37 Vaughan Williams Memorial Library] website, where you will find facsimiles of some of the collections.

VWML(ABC) indicates the ABC transcription will display and play next to the scanned facsimiles by following the vwml link.

VMP indicates that an ABC transcription of the collection is available at the [http://www.village-music-project.org.uk/ Village Music Project] website.

EDS (erstwhile English Dance & Song) refers to the magazine of the [http://www.efdss.org/ English Folk Dance & Song Society].

FMJ is The Folk Music Journal, the annual academic publication of the EFDSS.

EASMES is [http://www.cdss.org/elibrary/Easmes/index.html Early American Secular Music and its European Sources]. Most of the EASMES mss referred to are late eighteenth century or early nineteenth and contain much/mostly British material, often with a leavening of Yankee Doodle and Revolutionary War marches.

American Vernacular Music Manuscripts, ca. 1730-1910

North American music manuscripts have very recently been the beneficiaries of a large amount of funding, resulting in a very significant digitisation project, which I have yet to incorporate into the list but which can be found [http://popmusic.mtsu.edu/manuscriptmusic/default.aspx here].

Involved with abc notation since it's inception as a user. In 2014 became involved in the crowd sourcing transcription of original papers in the VWML online archive. Later was asked to help transcribe manuscripts in abc format for inclusion alongside the original manuscripts on vwml.org

Hey, I just noticed another anomaly in the list. I noticed the entry for Johnson's 24 Country Dances for the year 1770, went to check it out -- and nowhere the the name Johnson seem to appear in it. The file name is http://imslp.org/wiki/File:PMLP90894-Longman_24_dances_1770.pdf, and the title page says "Printed for LONGMAN & Co. ...". I transcribed this collection back in 2010, but didn't record where I found it. Maybe I should add this URL to the files now.

Anyway, was Johnson somehow associated with this publication? I see that there is an entry under Longman. Maybe Johnson published a different booklet, and his entry just points to the wrong URL?

(I tried to submit this as a different comment, but couldn't figure out how to do that, so I just edited my earlier message for the "List ..." page.)

Reply: Hi John. Yup, an error. I have removed the entry. As you point out, it is already correctly entered under Longman. There was some interaction at the time between Longman and Johnson but I cannot claim that as the source of my error. If you have ABC files of any of these collections please feel free to add links to them. Regards, Chris.

OK; I've added links to my transcriptions to a few of them. I see that someone already did this for a few others. I'm doing a bit of reorganizing to get more consistent file names, and I'll add more links as I do that. ... It's now a week or two later, and I've added links for a lot more of my transcriptions, including most of the entries for Preston. If anyone would like to check my editing and see if I've done it right, I'd appreciate it. (While you're at it, you could also proofread some of my transcriptions, but that's a bit more work. ;-)

I have already heard from a few "Vintage" dance leaders saying how much they appreciate this page and how much more they'd like it if transcribers of other old collections included the dance instructions in addition to the music, so that the search sites can find them. But I suppose that could be difficult to do if you don't know the dance. 18th-century dance terminology is rather compact and abstruse, though it's usually obvious - if not always unambiguous - to the initiated.

Notice: In error I said that I'd added a link to Johnson Vol4, and I should have said Vol3.

How do we set about getting these manuscripts indexed on the VWML site in order that we can then put the transcriptions alongside the originals?

This Folkopedia Wiki is maintained by the EFDSS. The VWML is also part of the EFDSS but, as all libraries are, is concerned with making accessible only its own collections. For the present, David, this Wiki is the best place to act as a portal to all the different material on all the different sites, including VWML, VMP, Farne and others, since as a Wiki it can easily be updated incrementally by all those who are adding content to other parts of the web, like John Chambers of this parish. Personally I'd rather be able to access this page at will, than be at the mercy of a webmaster. I'm not quite sure whether I've answered your question. (Chris Partington)

========
Question [from John Chambers]: Would it be appropriate to add a link to a transcription "project" that's underway? I've been adding links to my transcriptions when I finish a book. But it occurs to me that it could be more useful to add it when I start a project. That way, if there's anyone else interested in the document, they can contact me, we can avoid duplication, they can proofread my transcriptions, etc. I've started on the 3rd volume of Howe's Musician's Companion, and each of the other two have taken a month or so as I have the "spare time" (yeah, right!) to do them. I've occasionally wished I could find people who've started a transcription project, so it seems possible that others might like to know what I'm working on, too. Not that there are all that many of us ...

++++From David Jacobs 18/11/2015
In a recent state of imobility I have uploaded most of the tune book transcriptions to correspond with the ones on VWML.org that is a total of 29 dance and tune books. There are a couple that I couldn't find the any transcripts for, Yarkers for one? Also the Bray 1699 is in the wrong page order, I have changed this and let Richard know at vwml, but not sure there is much he can do. So If anyone would like to undertake the job of correcting the Bray transcription, please let me know. Also The Yarkers is interesting collection, again if anyone wants to do this let me know.
Noticed it is now possible to add transcribed only to advanced find at VWML.
Ok as for your question John Chambers, please do let me know what you are working on and if it is available online in manuscript form, I am more than happy to help with the coding to get it to match up with the images.
The current collection I have been tasked with is Sebring Baring Gould, from Martin and Shan Graebe. This is a very complex project to upload, as the original music transcriptions are in Sibeleis format, and while it is possible to export these as midi, or xml, and then into ABC, a lot of errors crop up, especially with rests, bar lengths and timings. Meaning I have to go back and check each note with the siblelius original. The text to the many songs is in word format, so I have started to cut and paste this into the text section.
I was hoping that someone could help me with the abc editing for this project, but you would need siblelus and a good knowledge of abc editing. I will send you the abc files formatted but not checked, along with the sibleius ones. Any takers?

And so the dance and tune books with abc transcriptions, let me know if you spot any errors, was kinda proud of myself 1600 or so tunes in a weekend, thanks of course to the orginal transcribers, who i have duly credited in the Z: fields.. List below, but it doesn't look like them all???

There are a couple that I couldn't find the any transcripts for, Yarkers for one? Also the Bray 1699 is in the wrong page order, I have changed this and let Richard know at vwml, but not sure there is much he can do. So If anyone would like to undertake the job of correcting the Bray transcription, please let me know. Also The Yarkers is interesting collection, again if anyone wants to do this let me know.
Noticed it is now possible to add transcribed only to advanced find at VWML.
Ok as for your question John Chambers, please do let me know what you are working on and if it is available online in manuscript form, I am more than happy to help with the coding to get it to match up with the images.
The current collection I have been tasked with is Sebring Baring Gould, from Martin and Shan Graebe. This is a very complex project to upload, as the original music transcriptions are in Sibeleis format, and while it is possible to export these as midi, or xml, and then into ABC, a lot of errors crop up, especially with rests, bar lengths and timings. Meaning I have to go back and check each note with the siblelius original. The text to the many songs is in word format, so I have started to cut and paste this into the text section.
I was hoping that someone could help me with the abc editing for this project, but you would need siblelus and a good knowledge of abc editing. I will send you the abc files formatted but not checked, along with the sibleius ones. Any takers?

And so the dance and tune books with abc transcriptions, let me know if you spot any errors, was kinda proud of myself 1600 or so tunes in a weekend, thanks of course to the orginal transcribers, who i have duly credited in the Z: fields.. List below, but it doesn't look like them all???

From Wikipedia:

''Although Butterworth was born in London, his family moved to Yorkshire not long after his birth. He received his first music lessons from his mother, who was a singer, and began composing at an early age. However, his father intended for him to be a solicitor, and he attended Eton College, from there continuing on to Trinity College, Oxford. While at Trinity he became more focused on music, for there he met the folk song collector Cecil Sharp and composer and folk song enthusiast Ralph Vaughan Williams. Butterworth and Vaughan Williams made several trips into the English countryside to collect folk songs, and both saw their compositions strongly influenced by what they heard. Butterworth was also an expert folk dancer, being particularly fond of Morris dancing.''

== The Morris Federation ==

The Morris Federation began as an organisation for female sides only. In 1980, it opened its doors to mixed sides and in 1982 it became open to any morris side, regardless of gender. A year later, the word 'Women's' was dropped from the name. The Federation has always taken the view that the dances themselves are more important than the gender of the dancers who perform them. It seeks to encourage all who are interested to experience the pleasure of morris dancing and to strive for the highest standard of execution of which they are capable.

http://www.morrisfed.org/

== Open Morris ==

Open Morris began in 1979 as a loose organisation of East Anglian dancers, following efforts by one of the (then) few mixed Morris sides in the country to find local friends and sympathisers.

At that time there was much rivalry between members of the all-male Morris Ring (founded in 1934) on one side and the Women's Morris Federation, which came into being in the mid 1970's on the other. Both organisations agreed that Morris Dancing shouldn't involve a mixing of the sexes! (Although "WMF" did later become the Morris Federation and expanded its membership to include male and mixed groups).

David Jacobs: /* Bibliography */

'''Henry Edward Denison Hammond''', 1866 - 1910; early twentieth century folksong collector; brother of [[Robert Hammond]].

Born 1866, Somerset, son of a clergyman. After leaving Corpus Christi College, Oxford, he took up a post at the Edinburgh Academy. There he met Dr. [[George Gardiner]] and they became firm friends. In 1899 Hammond was appointed Director of Education in Rhodesia, but after a year he suffered a severe breakdown in health, and returned to England. Early in 1905 Hammond and Gardiner were staying at Minehead in [[Somerset]], and agreed to undertake some song collecting, following in [[Cecil Sharp]]'s footsteps. Hammond collected 83 songs in Somerset during June 1905, with the help of his brother Robert, and H.A. Jeboult, an organist from Taunton. In August of the same year, he turned his attention to [[Dorset]], collecting 193 songs in just under four months.

He collaborated with Gardiner - for the only time, it would appear - during January and February 1906, when the two men were staying at Bath in Somerset. A further 81 songs were collected. Subsequently the Hammond Brothers collected almost 600 more songs in Dorset, cycling out together from their home at East Clevedon in Somerset: Henry noted down the tunes, and Robert the words.

By late 1907 Henry's health had declined to the extent that he could no longer undertake these bicycle trips, and he collected only six more songs, in [[Wiltshire]] in February 1908. He died on 16th June 1910.

David Jacobs: /* The Full English Transcription Programme: Rationale, Outcomes and Methods */

== The Full English Transcription Programme: Rationale, Outcomes and Methods ==

'''Rationale'''

The aim is to make the EFDSS’s online Full English archives more accessible and useable, for example for those with limited musical skills and/or who find it difficult to decipher a raw MS.

'''Outcomes'''

It is intended to support the Full English MSS with the following:

MIDI files of the melody line;

GIF and/or PDF files that display sheet music of the songs;

abc notation. To convert abc notation to abc files copy and paste it to a text editor and save it to a file with the file extension .abc. abc files can be displayed as sheet music, played as audio, and edited with free software such as abcExplorer [http://stalikez.info/abc/abcex.php], abcNavigator [http://abcnavigator.free.fr/], and Nils Liberg's excellent EasyABC [http://www.nilsliberg.se/ksp/easyabc/]. You can also create your own abc notation with EasyABC by dragging and dropping Music XML files (see below) into the "ABC code" box. To convert abc files to Music XML files import them into the free, open source cross-platform WYSIWYG music notation programme MuseScore [http://musescore.org] and save them as Music XML files.

Enhanced text files, such as Rich Text files (.rtf), containing transcribed text from the MSS (e.g. song lyrics), notes on the songs and tunes, etc.;

Industry standard Music XML files of the sheet music that can be loaded into most music notation software programmes and altered and edited by the user.

'''Notes on Music XML files.''' If you open these at the Folkopedia website all you will get is a page of hyper text markup language (HTML). So download the files and open them with a music notation programme such as MuseScore (see above). The Music XML download pages display the following notice underneath the file link--'''''Warning''': This file may contain malicious code, by executing it your system may be compromised.'' So run virus scans before opening Music XML files. Some Music XML files may have data missing. So check their content against that of the PDF images.

'''Methods'''

The filenames are the Full English MSS references with dashes substituted for the forward slashes (e.g. GB-6a-39 for GB/6a/39).

Note as of December 2014 many of the Butteworth files listed below have transcriptions along side the original manuscripts at vwml.org

To view the original MSS images that are here transcribed, and to access their catalogue records:

1. Go to the EFDSS Full English Search Page at http://www.vwml.org.uk/browse/browse-collections-full-english

2. Type the MS reference into the Search Box immediately above the Submit Search button. The MS reference is the file name of one of the transcriptions without the file extension and with forward slashes substituted for the dashes. Thus for GB-6a-39.MID type GB/6a/39 into the Search Box. If there are letters (preceded, perhaps, by a dash or hyphen) added to the numbers at the end of the filename and before the file name extension remove them from your search term. For example, there are two versions of GB/2/9, namely GB-2-9a and GB-2-9b. In both cases type GB/2/9 into the search box. Likewise, GB-6a-18-alt is an alternative version of GB/6a/18 so type GB/6a/18 into the search box.

3. Click on the "Submit Search" button.

4. This should display "Search produced 1 result(s) [1 of 1]" with the MS link underneath.

5. Click on the right facing arrow to the left of the MS link. This displays the MS's catalogue details and, beneath these, a small GIF image.

6. Click on the GIF image to enlarge it.

7. Save the GIF image to your computer. Do not save until you have enlarged the image or you will save a small image.

'''The Butterworth MSS'''

At present transcription of the Butterworth MSS is limited to songs and tunes collected by [[George Butterworth]] himself, and by his associates such as [[Francis Jekyll]], from the mouths and musical instruments of the people; it omits material that Butterworth copied into his notebooks from printed sources such as Barrett, Chappell and the ''Journal of the Folk Song Society''.

[[Image:Efdss_square.jpg]]

These pages are hosted by the [http://www.efdss.org English Folk Dance and Song Society], the longest running society in England dedicated to promoting the folk arts. With a headquarters in Regent's Park Rd, London and members all over the world, the EFDSS has an important part to play in passing on the traditions and culture of England to those who wish to carry them onward.

The hub of the Society's work is the [http://library.efdss.org Vaughan Williams Memorial Library], a significant multi-media collection in care for the nation.
Most of the major collections of tunes and songs are scanned and available online. An ever increasing number of documents are being transcribed into various usable formats.

The Society is a publisher of books, audio and video and all current titles are sold by mail order or from the [http://folkshop.efdss.org Folkshop].

The quarterly magazine is English Dance and Song which includes online enhancements in the form of audio and pdf files on its [http://eds.efdss.org web site].

The EFDSS also host the web site for the [http://www.folkplay.info/ Traditional Drama Research Group], whose interests are in Mummers Plays and traditional street drama.

== The Morris Federation ==

The Morris Federation began as an organisation for female sides only. In 1980, it opened its doors to mixed sides and in 1982 it became open to any morris side, regardless of gender. A year later, the word 'Women's' was dropped from the name. The Federation has always taken the view that the dances themselves are more important than the gender of the dancers who perform them. It seeks to encourage all who are interested to experience the pleasure of morris dancing and to strive for the highest standard of execution of which they are capable.

== Open Morris ==

Open Morris began in 1979 as a loose organisation of East Anglian dancers, following efforts by one of the (then) few mixed Morris sides in the country to find local friends and sympathisers.

At that time there was much rivalry between members of the all-male Morris Ring (founded in 1934) on one side and the Women's Morris Federation, which came into being in the mid 1970's on the other. Both organisations agreed that Morris Dancing shouldn't involve a mixing of the sexes! (Although "WMF" did later become the Morris Federation and expanded its membership to include male and mixed groups).

==The Folklore Society==

The [[Folklore Society]] (FLS) was founded in 1878 and was one of the first organisations in the world devoted to the study of traditional culture. The term 'folklore' describes the overarching concept that holds together a number of aspects of vernacular culture and cultural traditions, and is also the name of the discipline which studies them.

The Folklore Society's interest and expertise covers topics such as traditional music, song, dance and drama, narrative, arts and crafts, customs and belief. We are also interested in popular religion, traditional and regional food, folk medicine, children's folklore, traditional sayings, proverbs rhymes and jingles.

==The Folk Camps Society==

The Folk Camps Society is a not-for-profit holiday organisation run by its own members. The Society was founded in the early 60s when a group of folk enthusiasts decided it would be fun to go on holiday together, eat together and make their own entertainment without spending a fortune. They run holidays under canvas with an emphasis on folk dance, music and song.
