I wonder whether the instruments played by the musicians are the same as those mimed on screen as the rarely played vox humana appears (a military tenor oboe of the period and mainly used outside the military in west gallery bands which might well have performed for social functions). Charles Spicer of the Mellstock Band plays one in someof their recordings but told me that the musical 'rewards' were not worth the effort expended. If it was actually played here I wonder who was the performer?
My favourite adaptation (I have the DVD playing now). Only one thing: the music is from Playford's Traditional Dances which was published a century earlier. Even at country Assemblies this would have been replaced by more contemporary tunes. I still like it though ;)
@sheelz321 If i think better, it might have been played at the Netherfield ball, since aristocrats portrayed in Ms Austen's novels seemed pretty conservative in certain ways. This scene and dance have always impressed me and i love the sound of footsteps in the coreography at the beginning and ending, it adds to the scene's and song's intensity XD
I'm in awe when I see such dancing! They're acting, delivering their lines, all while dancing perfectly. They are simply amazing, both Lizzie and Darcy.
Mr Beveridge's Magot is to be found on the cd 'English Country Dances' by 'The Broadside Band' on the Saydisc label and can be found on Amazon and contains lots of other delightful tunes.jane42me64
Recently finished the novel and this mini-series in my literature class, fell in love with the story, and think it's better than most of the modern "love" tales.
Im in my lower 20's and I had a few friends (at different times) watch this version with me and they either fell asleep or made me put in another movie. In order for these amazing stories/movies to not be ruined for me, I will only watch them with one other person: my mom. These love stories are like no other and I refuse to put today's trashy love stories above these. Mr. Darcy is amazing and I love Lizzy's intelligence and wit!
i'm fifteen years old and my mates love reading "fashionable" books about vampires. I've read them too,but they are nothing according to this AWESOME book and adaptation.Pride and Prejudice will never disappear,it's an eternal writing.
The eye contact in this scene is phenomenal. For me, this ideally how English Country dancing should always be. The form and the intense eye contact. Beautiful.
Well they must be one's, however I am baffled at how they never messed up the set when they were chatting with old what's his name about the dance and the certain exciting things . . . If we pass this long in our steps everyone around us would be exceedingly unhappy, LOL. Also they never seem to get to the end.
@margo3883 & @karamesinaika : This "Mr Playford" had his first name Henry and was the son of John Playford who published the "English Dancing Master" in 1651, the fundamenatal manual of English Country Dance with 18 editions up to 1728. The 9th edition from 1695, from that this dance has been taken, was the most successful one, perhaps the most successful dance-book in history. Both John and Henry Playford were never composers, but only publishers. The tune is anonymous !
@margo3883 & @karamesinaika: If You want to watch something curious, please watch "Volkstanzgruppe Untermais" by user angelrecords01. You see some folks in Tyrolian costumes and dirndl dresses, and they held a great annual dance every November in their hometown Merano in South Tyrol, Italy. Can You imagine that I by myself tought them THIS DANCE to get a highlight in their dance event. But this kind of dance needs some mpore work and training, and a few weeks later everything was forgotten...
@alpenfrauchen Well, the regency ball you tought them was much better than the ones they actually danced. I like folk music - even found Celtic folk dance fascinating- yet Tyrol dance was just.....funny !!!
Lovely way of showing the palpable friction and the intellectual argument wile at the same time they're doing something physically wonderfully harmonious :)
All I can say of this dance is that is so awesome, one of my fave in the series, their conversation is interesting, and you can see elizabeth anoyed at his pride and he just trying to be all proud but he can't lol
My friends kind of stare at me weirdly for saying this, but I finished reading Pride and Prejudice for my high school free reading project...and god, Darcy was just totally awesome. Note to self: Twilight's Edward and Jacob are nothing to the awesomeness of Darcy.
Hi Claire1909, did you think that Darcy was superb even in the book? His letter to Elizabeth was very well written but I would say Colin Firth makes the character really charismatic. I'm rereading the book now after several years. Perhaps Darcy in the book will be more impressing due to his role in Lydia's elopement.
@raynasabine ... I agree with you whole-heartedly, Colin is a FABULOUS Darcy ... AND 'our lovely Colin' has got his Oscar for 'The King's Speech' and very well deserved to I might add, in my humble opinion... Colin Firth is GORGEOUS and his lovely wife Livvy is a VERY lucky lady indeed... *swoons* :0)x
@claire1909 Plus, Darcy is a real man. :D (As in, human XP.)
A lot of guys actually like Austen men upon acquaintance because while they may not be rescuing ladies from oncoming missiles, they live in a world where they have to know just the right thing to say in a world surrounded by women- and deal with real life issues. They're real men, real role models, not vampires, werewolves, Superman, or Bruce Willis. XP
Glad that you're interested in the classics! Nothing against Twilight and the like (tho I cannot bring myself to read the book, having seen the movie!), but classical literature are very interesting to read too.
I went to a regency dance this weekend, and did several dances with figures like this (without the barbed conversation, happily). It is great fun- google country dance to find an event near you!
No, this wasn't among the dances we did that evening, but it's pretty straightforward, certainly simpler than some dances. Let me see if I can write down the choreography, rank beginner that I am...
the dance is perfect though for the conversation they're about to have. It's somewhat private and slower than the more animated one Lizzy danced with Mr Collins. Imagine Darcy and Lizzy dancing that one and trying to discuss Wickham at that!! lol I'm picturing a not so proud Darcy and a Lizzy running out of breath for a bit.
To the person who said that they're engaging in a verbal duel rather than dancing- I've always thought the same thing! Notice that this dance is perfect for this "duel" because it's not as cheerful and happy as some of the other ones- like the one with Mr. Collins was. It's a much more serious dance, almost somber- a perfect background for their sparring with words.
@billiepilgrimesq You are right that they're engaged in verbal sparring so says the "Making of P&P" book and it shows in the type of dance that they are performing. Imma geek, I know!
Does anybody know where I can buy this version of Mr. Beveridge's Magget online? I've been searching for it forever, but they're all the wrong versions. I need it for a Pride and Prejudice party I'm throwing tomorrow night.
The Directors have to different point of views. I personally like the 1995 version because to me the 2005 looks kind of slopy, the Bennett's house is a total mess, all dirty and the ball room seems to crowded to me, it's is just my opinion.
I'm sure it's already been covered, but can anyone tell me what dance this is? I know it's an English country dance from the early 1800's, but which one?
Well, way back in the 1760's (or 1660's, I forget) when this song was written, the word 'maggot' meant something to the effect of 'fancy' (As in, "I fancy that dress there yonder!" So, the title would make sense, after all, Mr. Beveridge likes it.
Thanks for posting this! Did anyone else notice how Darcy rolls his eyes at 2:01 or so? When Lizzy tells him they are both "of an unsocial, taciturn disposition."
"Elizabeth made no answer, and took her place in the set, amazed at the dignity to which she was arrived in being allowed to stand opposite to Mr. Darcy, and reading in her neighbours' looks their equal amazement in beholding it."
Most certainly i do, for this music has haunted me for quite some time so i had to make a small research.. Well this was written by one Mr Playford in 1701. There was as a soundtruck in " Emma" the movie and also " Tudors" the series, Season 2, episodes 8 and 9!
Love this movie, love this scene. The first shot where Darcy and Lizzy "go down the dance" in a line (0:45) always cracks me up because if you take a closer look at Darcy,(he's holding hands with Lizzy at his left and Maria at his right), he's practically dangling Maria's hand by one measley finger and he's got the full embrace, locked and loaded grasp of Lizzy's hand. Ohhhh Mr. Darcy, that is just so you!
My favorite scene from the movie, when they first grasp hands in the dance, it's like an electrical charge or something goes through them. She is indignant, he is really beginning to fall in love.... ah, then he wins her. The ultimate romance. Jane Austen, you are the master!
I see we have a woman here, who is very dissapointed with men and her love problems seem to overtake this beutiful dance scene and nice looking etiquette on which we post comments. comen83, take it easy - no one wants to take your privileges away from you. We are just admiring the scene and ways of behaviour, not politics or women situation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah, try suing a girl who just wanted to point out reality. Did ever say anything against this great movie? And the great dancing scenes? It's very hard to get the choreography right and sure, no one dances like that today anymore. I never commented against it. And yaeh, it is indeed a privilege to write a master thesis at a university, something a woman in that time would have never been able to do. Now I have to ask my boyfriend if he thinks I'm disappointed in him...
I love this movie and miss these days and ways of behaviour. Everything is so informal today... I also like the scene in which Mr Darcy says "Every savage can dance". Very few people can dance today.
I really love this movie and all Jane Austen related stuff, but god am I happy I live today. Woman were nothing in that time. They only had to know their etiquette, their place and most of the time had to shut up. Yeah, what nice times that were. No, thank you very much. Jane Austen never married. Guess why.
Probably she wasn't pretty, and as a daughter of parish rector she didn't have enough money to tempt any gentleman. She was unmarried like many women today.
Women weren't nothing, and many of them were very important like Queen Victoria whose husband was less important than her, or simply Lady Cathrene de Burgh ;-)
Oh please, how many women had that power actually?? Firstly, everything was about good mariage and that goal was mostly achieved with money not with good looks (hu? almost like today??). The woman merely had to manage the household, thinking was mostly not welcome. But the percentage of that well off woman was below maybe 20% percent. All the others were peasants and less fortunate. Except their working power (from 4.30 till sundown) they were thought of as unworthy. Learn your histroy please.
And regarding Queen Victoria: She came to power 20 years after Jane Austen died. And she only came in power because there was no male heir to the throne. Every other woman like baronesses or others of good birth mostly only gained power after the deaths of their spouses. Or have you heard anything of a MR. de Burgh. As good as it looks in the movies: Living in that time wasn't easy. Exspecially not for woman. And that's a fact.
The so called peasants certainly could dance. They would not dance in the courtly style of the gentry. Theirs would be a much more vigorous and robust form. A concertina, a penny whistle and maybe a drum to get them going. On special days in the year the whole village would turn out for a shindig.
Love this film. Mr darcy is a legend. Also good to see humpty dumpty still getting work. You see him looming throughout but really see his pleasure at 04:15. Wonderful!
My favorite scene from my favorite film! So wonderfully choreographed - fascinating! Thank you for downloading it. I watch it over and over and love it more each time.
Yes this version is closest to the book. I cant stop watchign this video. I would like to learn how to dance like this. I even like to watch the other players in the background. So much going on. :) This is so perfect! Thank you for sharing.
Everything charming and so elegant. I love this movie... best adaptation of P&P. You'd need the book still to fill in the little details that had to be left out to cut the length. But it's the closest to the book.
Haha!! That's hilarious!! I agree - Colin Firth is the only Mr. Darcy in my mind, but I hadn't really thought about WHY Matthew Macfadyen just didn't really fit the role in the least -(other than the fact that he's not Colin) ;) That's great. chronically depressed - I like that. :D
wow i wish that did that kind of thing here, hannamontanachloe. i love this graceful dance. they dressed so beautifully and were so polite! i wish life were like that today.
I LOVED this production and this scene! Thanks for posting it so I can see it again and again.
Sigh, would that we were so elegant as these folk these days. But then, they didn't have the Internet and we do. I guess there are some compensations!
I wonder whether the instruments played by the musicians are the same as those mimed on screen as the rarely played vox humana appears (a military tenor oboe of the period and mainly used outside the military in west gallery bands which might well have performed for social functions). Charles Spicer of the Mellstock Band plays one in someof their recordings but told me that the musical 'rewards' were not worth the effort expended.

Well, way back in the 1760's (or 1660's, I forget) when this song was written, the word 'maggot' meant something to the effect of 'fancy' (As in, "I fancy that dress there yonder!" So, the title would make sense, after all, Mr. Beveridge likes it.

Thanks for posting this! Did anyone else notice how Darcy rolls his eyes at 2:01 or so? When Lizzy tells him they are both "of an unsocial, taciturn disposition."

"May I ask to what these questions tend?"
"Merely to the illustration of your character; I am trying to make it out."
"And what is your success?"
"I do not get on at all. I hear so many different accounts of you as to puzzle me exceedingly."
Oh, that people would talk like that again! <3

"Elizabeth made no answer, and took her place in the set, amazed at the dignity to which she was arrived in being allowed to stand opposite to Mr. Darcy, and reading in her neighbours' looks their equal amazement in beholding it."

do you by any chance know, what music is this?i love it
karamesineika 1 year ago
@karamesineika
Most certainly i do, for this music has haunted me for quite some time so i had to make a small research.. Well this was written by one Mr Playford in 1701. There was as a soundtruck in " Emma" the movie and also " Tudors" the series, Season 2, episodes 8 and 9!

@karamesineika The title is " Mr Beveridge's Maggot" which means actually " Mr Beveridge's favorite". Quite odd, right ?!

Love this movie, love this scene. The first shot where Darcy and Lizzy "go down the dance" in a line (0:45) always cracks me up because if you take a closer look at Darcy,(he's holding hands with Lizzy at his left and Maria at his right), he's practically dangling Maria's hand by one measley finger and he's got the full embrace, locked and loaded grasp of Lizzy's hand. Ohhhh Mr. Darcy, that is just so you!

My favorite scene from the movie, when they first grasp hands in the dance, it's like an electrical charge or something goes through them. She is indignant, he is really beginning to fall in love.... ah, then he wins her. The ultimate romance. Jane Austen, you are the master!

I see we have a woman here, who is very dissapointed with men and her love problems seem to overtake this beutiful dance scene and nice looking etiquette on which we post comments. comen83, take it easy - no one wants to take your privileges away from you. We are just admiring the scene and ways of behaviour, not politics or women situation.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Yeah, try suing a girl who just wanted to point out reality. Did ever say anything against this great movie? And the great dancing scenes? It's very hard to get the choreography right and sure, no one dances like that today anymore. I never commented against it. And yaeh, it is indeed a privilege to write a master thesis at a university, something a woman in that time would have never been able to do. Now I have to ask my boyfriend if he thinks I'm disappointed in him...

Yeah, these were the days a woman behaved like a woman. For these days back would be marvellous.

I love this movie and miss these days and ways of behaviour. Everything is so informal today... I also like the scene in which Mr Darcy says "Every savage can dance". Very few people can dance today.
elinwar 3 years ago
I really love this movie and all Jane Austen related stuff, but god am I happy I live today. Woman were nothing in that time. They only had to know their etiquette, their place and most of the time had to shut up. Yeah, what nice times that were. No, thank you very much. Jane Austen never married. Guess why.
comen83 3 years ago
Probably she wasn't pretty, and as a daughter of parish rector she didn't have enough money to tempt any gentleman. She was unmarried like many women today.
Women weren't nothing, and many of them were very important like Queen Victoria whose husband was less important than her, or simply Lady Cathrene de Burgh ;-)
elinwar 3 years ago 2
Oh please, how many women had that power actually?? Firstly, everything was about good mariage and that goal was mostly achieved with money not with good looks (hu? almost like today??). The woman merely had to manage the household, thinking was mostly not welcome. But the percentage of that well off woman was below maybe 20% percent. All the others were peasants and less fortunate. Except their working power (from 4.30 till sundown) they were thought of as unworthy. Learn your histroy please.
comen83 3 years ago
And regarding Queen Victoria: She came to power 20 years after Jane Austen died. And she only came in power because there was no male heir to the throne. Every other woman like baronesses or others of good birth mostly only gained power after the deaths of their spouses. Or have you heard anything of a MR. de Burgh. As good as it looks in the movies: Living in that time wasn't easy. Exspecially not for woman. And that's a fact.
comen83 3 years ago
And male peasants didn't work from 4:30 till sundown.
elinwar 3 years ago
They surely did. But male peasants were savages who couldn't dance as Mr. Darcy would put it.
comen83 3 years ago 5
The so called peasants certainly could dance. They would not dance in the courtly style of the gentry. Theirs would be a much more vigorous and robust form. A concertina, a penny whistle and maybe a drum to get them going. On special days in the year the whole village would turn out for a shindig.

This type of dancing is so much more seductive than today's style. The restraint is what increases the tension. Love it.

The only thing that bothers me about this scene is the squeaky floor :p
No one tops Colin Firth as Darcy though. Matthew Macfadyen just looked chronically depressed in the 2005 version.

Haha!! That's hilarious!! I agree - Colin Firth is the only Mr. Darcy in my mind, but I hadn't really thought about WHY Matthew Macfadyen just didn't really fit the role in the least -(other than the fact that he's not Colin) ;) That's great. chronically depressed - I like that. :D
