It is important that you use this version, in E major, for exam purposes (not the alternative versions in C major).
I composed Morris Dance after 'a close encounter' with a group of Morris Men in Bristol Docks. I stood a little too close for safety, and before I knew what was happening I had been whisked into their midst and was dancing with a jester and his balloon! Although this piece is in the key of E major, the appearance of unsharpened D chords gives it that modal, folksy feeling.
I use a march rhythm, running at about 100-120 beats per minute. You may also like to programme in some sleigh bells to imitate the bells on the dancers' legs, and some taps to copy the sound of their sticks crashing together overhead.
PHOTOCOPYING Original downloads, not photocopies, are the only version acceptable in the exam room. If you are concerned about the validity of your copy, please contact the publishers using the contact form at www.weedonmusic.com. We will be pleased to help.
