Description
SKU: A0.802633
Composed by James Johnston Stewart and John Godfrey. Arranged by Thomas Bidgood & Peet du Toit. Contemporary. Score and parts. 22 pages. Peet du Toit #6072097. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.802633).A barn dance is any kind of dance involving traditional or folk music with traditional dancing,
occasionally held in a barn, but, these days, much more likely to be in any suitable building.
The term "barn dance" is usually associated with family-oriented or community-oriented events, usually for people who do not normally dance. The caller will, therefore,
generally use easy dances so that everyone can join in.
A barn dance can be a ceilidh (gathering), with traditional Irish or Scottish dancing, and
people unfamiliar with either format often confuse the two terms. However, a barn dance
can also feature square dancing, contra dancing, English country dance, dancing to country
and western music, or any other kind of dancing, often with a live band and a caller.
Modern western square dance is often confused with barn dancing in Britain.
Barn dances, as social dances, were popular in Ireland until the 1950s, and were
typically danced to tunes with 4
4 rhythms.
This one is dedicated to my one brother-in-law, Ken Bain, a Scott. He is a great person
with a beautiful voice and even a more beautiful heart. Congrats on your wee birthday,
Heavy, and may you have many more Scottish barn dances!
