Mally's Cotswold Morris Book Volume 1 – Accompaniment CD by Dave Mallinson

The audio companion to Mally's Cotswold Morris Book Volume 1, this CD features a collection of traditional Cotswold morris tunes from the book, played by Dave Mallinson.

Cotswold morris music is characterised by distinctive changes of rhythm and tempo, including the sections known as "slows" that occur in many of the tunes. Hearing the music played provides a particularly useful complement to the written notation, helping musicians become familiar with these characteristic variations and the overall feel of the tradition.

Designed to accompany the Mally's Cotswold Morris Book Volume 1 collection, the recordings are useful for learning the melodies, understanding their structure and becoming familiar with how the tunes sound in performance. The CD can also be enjoyed independently as a collection of traditional English morris music.
