Subject: RE: Tune Add: The Hole in the Wall: Henry Purcell
Bryan Creer (TheSnail) and I are very honoured that Mr. Happy has chosen our rendition as an illustration, as we're well aware that it's far from perfect. We aren't playing as if for dancing, but just at the pace the tune itself and Matt Seattle's beautiful arrangement suggested to us.
I thoroughly recommend Matt's three books of arrangements of traditional tunes: Airs for Pairs, More Airs for Pairs and Scottish Airs for Pairs.
