Ann Lauder- dale, editor of the Oregon Federation News and a self-described optimist, has writ- ten our "opener" on Page 11. Her feature is the appetizer for another super- smorgasbord of assorted scribings. Vic and Peg Wills, members of the National Ex- ecutive Committee, serve up suggestions for the "care and feeding" of square dance angels. Betsy Duncan Randolph, publicist for LeHigh Acres in Florida, sent stories and pictures of a very special wedding. Don Malcolm recommends rating callers "Plus-10." Don is a first sergeant at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota, and calls himself the "Missouri Maverick." Helen Pate sent us the story about a very special young dancer who is an inspira- tion to handicapped persons everywhere. Another old friend, Peg Tiffs'', describes the struggle to make square dancing the New Jersey state dance. Erma Reynolds, whose name is familiar to ASD puzzle fans, has contributed ideas for fun at intermis- sion time (also good for after-parties, too). Two poems this month were submitted by friends of the authors. Dave and Nita Smith sent a round dance "song" written by Dot Lawson; Donald Vincent sent one written by Vickie Durbin for Bill George, caller/teacher and active horseman. Enjoy the feast!

  • Music for Dancing
    Chapter Music for Dancing 4 FOCUS Western Dance Music World Dance Music POINTS Estampie Balinese Gamelan Dance Suite Tibetan Buddhist Skeleton Dance Waltz Italian Saltarello Ballet African Ritual Dances Square Dance Celtic Reel Dance, the art form that finds its expression through bodily movement, has been an inspiration for music from ancient times to the present. Whether music was the cata- lyst for dance or whether dance existed before music is a question that may never be answered definitively, but since such a large portion of the music in existence is dance music it deserves our attention and a thoughtful examination. The written record of dance is not as old as the written record of music. The earli- est descriptive texts on dance date from the fifteenth century. Understandable manu- scripts of music date from nearly a thousand years earlier. References to dance are as old as Old Testament Bible stories and the ancient Greeks wrote of dance, but what the movements that constituted those dances looked like is lost to us. Understanding what the dances looked like or how they were performed is not our purpose in studying them in a music class, rather, we will be examining dance music for its musical con- tent, such as its form and rhythmic characteristics, and its purpose in a social context. RHYTHM AND METER IN DANCE MUSIC Any discussion of dance must begin with rhythm since that musical element is the foundation of dance. As was mentioned in Chapter 1, rhythm is the aspect of music that animates it, makes it feel like it is alive and vibrant.
