[Callers] Re: Need help fitting to a tune

Jeff, How would you describe the phrase structure of the version of Beaumont Rag that you just cited? A A B B? A1 A2 B1 B2? A B? Something else? In the instructional video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS2Wb6nIjlU the narrator begins (0:00-0:39) by playing a similar version of the tune. At about 1:19, he says, "It's in A B form." At about 2:00 tablature appears in the upper right corner for what the narrator describes as "measure number one." The time signature isn't shown, but from the beaming of the notes, I'd infer that it's 4/4. In any case, each "measure" of music in the tablature includes what contra dance writers and callers would typically refer to as "four beats" or "four counts" or "two measures" or "two bars" of music. --Jim contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; wrote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FTuWotf7TQ <older merssages snipped>
