My Lord Cutts Delight / The Cotillion
« on: August 30, 2011, 08:55:48 PM »

Just me and my Oakwood.
I've been playing My Lord Cutts Delight to death at our local regular session, and after some experimentation decided that The Cotillion is a good tune to go with it, as it seems to be of a similar age.

Incidentally, I think you've all sufferered enough of my full-face videos, so this one's a close-up of just the box more or less filling the frame.

Hmmmm... that's another nice set of tunes to learn!
....and nice playing as ever.
I've found My Lord Cutts, have you any ideas where to get the music for The Cotillion from?

I'm surprised it was that way round. The Cotillion gets played a lot at English music sessions.
http://folktunefinder.com/tune/149930/ is as far as I can see identical to the version I used.
Also known as the Sussex Cotillion, and I'm sure you'll find it in the "Lewes Favourites" collection.

(And Lester's beaten me to it....)

Beautifully played, how I wish I had learned to use more fingers on the bass when I first started.

Classy playing as usual Anahata. Love the tunes and the LH bass runs....top class stuff as we expect from you :)

Really enjoyed those, Anahata. "Cotillion" was played a lot in Sussex when I lived there - they play it in a somewhat more slow and stately style there. I think the Sussex people found it in the mid-19C manuscripts of the Bosham Band (pronounced Bozzum, which sounds vaguely like two different body areas you wouldn't expect to name a band after. But I digress..) but my "Hardcore English" book says it's been around for about a century before that, in both England and the US.

It's a grand tune. The one I sometimes play before it is La Fete du Village, which has a similar feel and is roughly of an age with Cotillion.

A lovely set of tunes, Anahata, and nicely played.

Like Marje, I am used to 'Cotillion' played in a slower and more stately fashion, but I liked your version. Incidentally, I know the tune as Chain Cotillion and I usualy follow it with Prince William's March.
