Music reviews of English Country Dances
Music Review: A pure delight, whole heartedly recommended!
Rating: 5 Stars
I don't knwo how this music is for dancing, not being one, but as a musician and a listener, I find this album a joy through and through. Bare Necessities is a quartet of musicians (pianist, 2 violinists, and a flute/recorder/guitar/penny whistle player) with a taste for very pleasant ornamentations on the melodies. I can't describe the music to you, but if you remember Ken Burns' "Civil War" series, you -may- recall the light, soft piano throughout - - the pianist there was in this group, and her delicate style is in evidence here. The songs here are rarely delicate, but the ornamentation is light. Some of the songs are fast elizabethan tunes like Jamaica, and use interesting chromatics (Jamaica itself sharps the fourth and fifth notes of the key), others have haunting melodies (Well Hall). I've been listening to this since, oh, 1984, and am completely taken by it.
