Playford Step Stately/Jack Pudding - dots or abc?
« on: March 12, 2017, 02:23:17 PM »

Can anyone have dots or preferably abc for Step Stately, preferably (but not necessarily) in a DG friendly key? Also known as Jack Pudding apparently, not met that before.
Thanks,
Malcolm

I used a little known tool called Google and this came up on the first suggestion

It's not in D or G or ABC but you need a bit of a challenge   ;)

This is also from The Round, probably on the web site somewhere but I've had it on my home system for years.
And it's in E minor.

Malcolm, I have 3 volumes of "Playford ABC's" that I am sure came from another member on the site.  Let me know if you want them re-posted.  Maybe you already have them.

Thank you Gentlemen,
Lester, you seem to have a better relationship with Google than I do. It seems that the dance not the tune is called Step Stately, and there is another quite different tune of that name which I kept finding. And what better authority than Mr Sharpe.
Ananhata, thanks for the Em version. I think I will need to sneak in and re-capture the Liliput to get those low notes. I shall give it a go.
Steve, yes please. I remembered a discussion about them, and tried a search, but lacking success. I do have a couple of  Playford ABC compilations but they don't include this tune.
I have a list of Playford tunes, or tunes in the style of Playford dancing (Maggot Pie) which really do need the services of a Bb/Eb box. I must get one working.

Thank you, Pete.  I knew I got them from somewhere authoritative.

Thanks,

In Playford Volume 1, Step Stately and Jack Pudding are completely different tunes. Step Stately (1.098) is a 6/4 tune that puts me in mind, a bit, of Three Rusty Gullies. Jack Pudding (1.046) is in 6/4, as well, but it is more of a jig.

I think the Dance is Step Stately, to the tune of Jack Pudding. But it might have been done to a different tune before, and that tune named Step Stately because of being used for the dance.

Having done a whole week of playing for English social dance and workshops at Chippenham, I can assure you that this kind of confusion happens frequently in Playford and similar, and callers will often send the musicians the music they want to make sure they get the right version.

There's quite a bit of the same kind of name/dance confusion between Morris traditions too.
