Hole In The Wall Medieval Dance SCA Endewearde Shire Revel

Coolio

[DuxCorvan]

The music is a "Hornpipe" baroque dance, and was part of a number of pieces composed by famous baroque English composer Henry Purcell for Aphra Behn's theatrical play "Abdelazer, or The Moor's Revenge", when it was revived in 1695. "Hole in the Wall" is NOT the original title, nor has it anything medieval at all. I'm quite astonished of the middle citizen's ignorance about music and its history.

@DuxCorvan Music history is an extremely limited area of study, most people don't follow it. If this astonishes you, then most of the world must blow your mind. I pity your sad limited life.

[DuxCorvan]

@jrosekonungrinn Music history is not quantum mechanics. Music history at a basic level should be elementary knowledge for any who has attended school; if you can discern between Picasso and Da Vinci, then you should be able to discern between baroque and medieval music, unless you've never heard any of both, which would make YOUR life quite sadder and more limited than mine. Yep, ignorance to the level of stupidity blows my mind, I guess opening a book must blow yours.

[jrosekonungrinn]

@DuxCorvan Not at all, I LOVE books. I own more than anyone I know. Especially on classical literature and mythologies. Nothing on music though. I just listen to it, I don't read about it. Picasso and Da Vinci were covered in my school, differences between baroque and medieval music were not. You're quite arrogant to call the lack of obscure knowledge stupidity. You must not get along with very many people.

[DuxCorvan]

@jrosekonungrinn Sorry for being rude. The sad thing is, that Music history should not be considered an "obscure" matter at all; not more than painting, sculpture, literature or any other major art. If it was not covered in your school, then your school is in fault for having a lousy program of contents if it considered fit to study Michaelangelo or Dante, but left Palestrina out. Music is not a minor art, and people should not be so ready to admit ignorance about it, without searching a remedy.

I was always under the interpretation that this dance was Renaissance. :/ But even so, I do this dance every year, and I love it!

Miss Channel owner heads up!

Rename this video please. You're wrongly telling people, more 11,000 thus far, that this is a Medieval piece of music and it's not.

The Medieval period was over by the middle of the 15th century and the composer of this piece wasn't born until the middle of the 17th century some 200 years later!

Have you tried anithing of Guglielo Ebreo da Pesaro and his "de arte saltandi et Choreas ducendi" ?

best Regards

[capitandabarca]

No poaching? So sad!

[fireelf2007]

Anyone whats the music?

[acorntechnique]

Its composed by the English composer Henry Purcell 1659 - 1695 and is entitled 'Hole in the wall'.

It's NOT Medieval as this video title suggests.

sca amazing

[dwilliamwilkin]

Hole in the Wall is a later period than medieval, the SCA adopted it from the Regency Dancers

[dwilliamwilkin]

First found in Playford in the 1721 to 1728 period, so it comes in as Georgian

[alpenfrauchen]

And the music is the introduction of the opera "Abdelazar" by Henry Purcell (1659 - 1695). There are very fine versions of this tune at YouTube, played by an baroque orchestra ! Not necessary to use this sound-sqeezing chamber organ...

lol true

We practice this a little bit differently. We do not touch hands when changing pairs, for example.
