Book
The English Folk Dance and Song Society has re-published, in a single volume, the six country dance collections originally compiled by the late Bernard Bentley, and known as The Fallibroome Collection.
The original books were published in the 1960s and 70s, but have been out of print for many years.
The new edition of The Fallibroome Collection, made by Nicolas Broadbridge, has newly reset tunes and rewritten dance instructions to suit modern practice, while preserving Bernard Bentley's dance transcriptions. An addition to this new collection is digital images of the original eighteenth-century dance collections, from which the Fallibroome dances were selected. The new collection also includes twelve dances composed by Bernard Bentley in eighteenth-century style, to a set of Contretänze by Beethoven.
