The Pride & Prejudice Collection II

17 Country Dances
Dance instructions included by pdf download
Music by The Pemberley Players

This Second Volume in the Pride and Prejudice Collection contains more of the Jane Austen film and TV dances.
In the earliest stages of planning it became clear that little had been done to interpret the dances from the “Apted” Collection to their original tunes.

Referring to the original book, Reg Battle set about the task of interpretation, bearing in mind the dialogue between 17th to 19th Century dance techniques and current expectations. This will undoubtedly give a new look to some of the more familiar dances from this Collection. We have also added our favourite “Gems” - those dances that stand out in the Country Dance repertoire, but these days don’t often get an outing!

This is a Multi-Media CD - so if you have a computer you can see and print the dance notations. Also included are the original notations and interesting ‘tit-bits’, such as how the dance was performed in the TV or film production.
