thanks for all the great suggestions, and associated details, that all have provided so
far (on and off-list). happy to hear more suggestions, if anyone has them.
to answer alan's question, when she made the query, my friend wrote something like
"are there any contra-dances that have lyrics that would lend themselves to
arrangement?" i was guessing she was imagining a choral piece that might be
performed with a demo group of dancers doing the dance while it was sung. but who knows!
