Notes on GB/7d/31b This is a rapper dance. See [1] for a performance of this dance in 1920; the musician and the dancers were probably the same individuals that Butterworth witnessed. This footage illustrates just how hard rapper tunes are to notate without recording equipment.


GB/7d/34 A Story, A Story

File:GB-7d-34.mid

File:GB-7d-34.pdf

File:GB-7d-34.xml

Notes on GB/7d/34 An F has been inserted into the key signature and the flats have been removed from all of the Bs; this fine Mixolydian tune is simplified but unaltered by this.


GB/7d/35 On the First of November Last

File:GB-7d-35.mid

File:GB-7d-35.pdf

File:GB-7d-35.xml

Notes on GB/7d/35 A redundant flat has been removed from the key signature, which is F and in the Dorian mode; the tune is unaltered by this. Fermatas have been added on the final minim in each of the three verses (at the ends of the second, fouth and sixth lines) to bring out the unusual and beautiful shape of the tune. The "cannon ball" interpolation clearly relates to a variation in the tune specific to that particular verse.
