Book
Volume 11 of the English Country Dance Collection (the companion booklet to Volume 11 of the CDS Boston English Dance Collection CD series by Bare Necessities) focuses on dances by modern English composers, primarily Pat Shaw, who opened the door to modern composition in the second half of the 20th century, and whose Centenary it is this year. Also included are dances by William Ganiford, Bob Lilley, Colin Hume, Ellen Taylor, Naomi Alexander, Tom Cook, Ron Coxall, and Hazel Moir. With music from a wide range of sources, both old and modern, the volume shows tremendous variety in style and feel. After the passing in 2013 of former editor Helene Cornelius, Volume 11 is the first dance booklet edited by Brad Foster.
