Aye Me or, The Symphony is an English Country Dance first found in Playford's English Dancing Master of 1651. It was interpreted by Cecil Sharp in 1916 and a slightly different version (this one) was published in "The Playford Ball". It is a proper four couple longways dance with no progression. It is a USA dance.
The music was synthesized by Colin Hume's software.
I cannot make good sense of Sharp's instructions (nor Playford's nor those in The Playford Ball. In B5&B6 (Part 3), Sharp says "1st man with right hand take 4th man (in second place) by left hand, change places, both moving counter-clockwise". I have to have M1 (and W1) dancing backwards to follow this instructions. While this might be what is intended it seems unlikely.
The Playford Ball adds the notation "(as in a gypsy)" but in a gypsy both would use the same hand (or rather shoulder), so I can't make sense of that either.
Playford's original text is similar to Sharp's (or vice-versa) and is no additional help.
Phillipe Callens has an interpretation which ignores the hand clasps specified by Playford, but retains the direction of movement, and this seems to me a much better interpretation. It has the dancers gating. See: • Aye Me, or The Simphony or • Видео .
The animation plays at 111 counts per minute. Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color.
