Description

Hi, I am the deviser of the dance 2121Au. Diana Hastie told me that she’d sent it to SCDDB and I thought I’d better check the entry. The overview, cribs, and diagram all look correct, though I would prefer the dance title to be “2121Au”, rather than “2121 Au”. There may be a case for an “also known as” here.

In extra info, could another sentence be appended please: “The formations of the dance, particularly bars 9-16, reflect the shapes of the Epping club logo.”

There is a recommended tune for the dance. Could this be added please. It is known as “The Miller” or as “The Miller’s Reel”, depending on who you talk to. For a definite reference in SCDDB, this tune is on the CD: A. Fraser and M. Johnstone, Just As It Was 1, track: Cadgers in the Canongate, 2nd tune, where SCDDB calls it “The Miller”, and the tune has number 3481. The Traditional Tune Archive knows this tune as “The Miller’s Reel”, so if tunes can have an “also known as” field, this would be useful here.

There is a pdf of the dance instructions at the following web address. Would it be possible to add this to the dance information? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X3nbVSPSG5Rc5e3kPEY28F4Dq6S6i9eP/view

Regards and Thanks, Bill Unger

Thanks. I think I have made all your requested changes.

I noticed that both MiniCrib and Keith Rose’s diagram have a space in the title at the moment.

The Traditional Tune Archive lists two “Miller’s Reel” tunes. SCDDB has its entry (https://my.strathspey.org/dd/tune/3481/) is by “Unknown” rather than the one composed by Backus. Do you know if that is correct? SCDDB tunes can have alternative names so I did at least add “The Miller’s Reel” as an alias.
