New page

Very often, when dances were published throughout the centuries, the tunes that were published with them carried on being played after the dances themselves had ceased to be fashionable.

Even today, tunes take up new titles through association with a dance and keep those titles as the tunes are played in sessions or published in books or on CDs.

An example of this is the tune played as ''Kielder Schottische'' because it was associated with that couple dance, whereas the original tune title was ''Laddy With the Plaidie''.

When tune and dance compete for the same name in Folkopedia, we differentiate between them by using:

''Merrily Kiss the Quaker-dance'' and ''Merrily Kiss the Quaker-tune''

That leaves us with the problems of:

''Merrily Kiss the Quaker''

''Merrily Kiss the Quaker's Wife''

''Merily Kissed the Quaker's Wife''

Etc

In this case, we'll try and get a reference page identified which can be linked to by each title.
Eg. Merily Kissed the Quaker's Wife'' see ''Merrily Kiss the Quaker''
It doesn't matter which is the reference page as long as there is only one and it carries all the useful information in the one place.
