We have a number of dances that the giants can do (as well as the way they swing it in processions and parades). These are called - with conspicuous creativity - Jordi's Dance, the Bigg Dance, The Bourree (Kelham) and the Other Dance. Until we've got our video clips sorted you'll have to imagine them, but here's some of the music we use.
You can hear the tunes by selecting from the list below. All our tunes are also contained in this ABC Music file. Software to read, edit and play ABC files can be found at Chris Walshaw's ABC Home Page along with technical information about the format.
The dances use the following tunes:
- Jordi's Dance : Inana He (from Catalonia)
- The Bigg Dance : Part one - Nonsuch (Playford 1651), Part two - La Morisque (Susato: The Danserye 1551)
- The Other Dance : Stella Splendens (trad Catalonian)
- Kelham (The Bourree) : Bourree St. Chartier / Bourree Des Dindes / Bourree Alfred Pommier (trad French).
- Free form dance : Faerie Dance (trad English)
There are more dances in rehearsal - coming to a festival near you soon.
