It’s Molly Apple Pye – same name as the dance.  A plain vanilla version of the tune can be found at https://media.efdss.org/resourcebank/docs/RB224_NYMAZ%20folk-and-traditional-music-teacher-resource-pack_final.pdf#page=23

Angela, I clicked on the link and it took me to the Diversions Leveret album in Spotify but didn’t identify a specific tune. What is the name of the tune?

PS, here's the tune! A bit below contra tempo in the recording, but still oh so good.

Hello all!

 

In a scene with which I'm sure many of you are familiar, I woke up in the middle of the night with a tune stuck in my head, and I couldn't fall asleep until I'd written a dance to go with it.

 

Let me know if someone's beat me to it:

 

Molly Apple Pye, Becket

 

A1: Balance Ring, Petronella

       Balance Ring, Pass through up and down

A2: New Neighbor Balance and Swing

B1: Gents start 3/4 Hey across (GL PR LL NR GL PR),

       Ladies Ricochet*

B2: Partner Swing

 

I realize the partner swing in this version is longer than standard, but figure since the timing can run long for a full hey with ricochet and since the next move is a ring balance, I don't mind giving the dancers the extra time to get their affairs in order. ;) 

 

*But maybe the timing works better if the Ladies dance a left-shoulder-round instead, to take up a bit more music? I need to play-test! In that case, the B's would be,

 

B1: Gents start 3/4 Hey across (GL PR LL NR GL PR),

       Ladies Left Shoulder Round

B2: Partner Right Shoulder Round and Swing

 

Thanks!

Angela
