Chris Ryall's Field Recordings
« on: April 09, 2014, 08:50:38 PM »

Just an FYI, since many of us have seen these. I've started compiling Chris Ryall's fantastic field recordings (with his permission). Now they are posts, but they will have their own page.

Beginning here:  http://accordeonaire.blogspot.com/2014/04/french-dance-field-recordings-part-1.html

Thanks

Thanks chaps :|bl I had hoped that it might be taken up as a reference feature on the site, but it ended up as just a post and took me a while to fine this morning. Entirely happy to have the index hosted elsewhere and my thanks to Gary for doing all the spadework on this. Wasn't myself last summer, having got brain poisoning from some injections, pleasantly surprised at how well it went in the circumstances!

Great resource. Thanks. I play quite a few tunes from the two tune books I've found I the UK ( Bal Folk and I think the other one contains tunes from the Morvan). The Mazurka looks like a great dance, if you can manage to do it..

The shift to the slinky 9/8 mazurka is not something I altogether understand. I associate it with the Milleret/Pignol school.  The more straight mazurka is usually the ones my fingers find to be fun.

I think it is just easier to notate a syncopated rhythm in 9/8 as opposed to 3/4.

But the slinky 9/8 is more fun for the dancers!

Then 9/8 'can' be put into the 3/4 mould, but there's more to it than that. The rhythm informs the feet and slingshots the turns of the music, which then lie across a 5 and 4 beat framework (depending on how you dance/play it). Then there is the fine art of missing notes out within the nine, Naragonia perhaps the masters at this, the shall we say, pregnant pauses. Like the bourree the 9/8 mazurka is a vertical expression of a horizontal desire ..
