  • Many Fine Tunes: a Brief History of Dancing at the Folk School The
    Many Fine Tunes: A Brief History of Dancing at the Folk School The stories of our lives where dance and song are called for, go back to far away lands where kings and villagers alike danced for joy. Dance as a way to express joy that cannot be contained is part of many legends across the globe. I know that you understand what I am talking about. The many threads of our Southern Appalachian story can be seen beginning with the Singing Games or Play Party Games, which are a long time part of a vibrant mountain culture. Almost any occasion where the earliest settlers and pioneers gathered, there was time to sing, clap, laugh, and stomp in time with the music they created. Not too different from what we do now, whenever we are together! Cecil Sharp Meets Olive Campbell Part of our story is about Cecil Sharp, the English collector of Songs and Dances. He had discovered that Country and Morris Dancing were still a very active part of village life in rural places all over England. Around 1914, he arrived in New York City to be the Music and Dance advisor for a production of Midsummer Night's Dream, which was to be directed by the famous director, Granville Baker. When Olive Campbell met him in Lincoln, Massachusetts, she showed him the considerable collection of ballads she had already recorded in written form. Naturally he was fascinated, and he later made trips to Appalachia to collect more songs and English Dances. Cecil Sharp visited Olive and John Campbell in Asheville and incorporated the newly collected songs into his first book, which listed Olive as co-author.
