Cranberry Tart a Scottish Country Dance danced at the San Francisco Winter Solstice Party 2019

Cranberry Tart is a Scottish Country Dance written by Terry Glasspool. The first half is fugal (really a canon, but everyone calls it a fugue) in which 2nd lady does exactly what her partner does, just two bars later. Patti Cobb was bandleader and arranged three tunes to be canons so 1st man dances to the fiddles and 1st woman dances to the recorder. The fiddlers are Shira Kammen and Caroline McCaskey (the 2019 US Scottish Fiddle champion) and Jim Oakden is on recorder. The jig tunes are The Sailor’s Wife, W’ a Hundred Pipers, and Lady Elizabeth Cole.
