	Cecil Sharp Excerpts
		The great English musicologist Cecil Sharp published his researches into the English Country Dance in a series of books called The Country Dance Book, volumes I- VI which appeared between 1909 and 1922.
		Sharp was quite specific when it came to describing how an English Country dancer should move, what steps he or she should use and what to do with hands and arms.
		Sharp's comments on style and the technique of figure dancing are memorable and as sure a guide today to good dancing as in his own time.

		Sharp owed something to all these predecessors--most of all to Baring-Gould--but he rose to predominance because he was a different kind of collector who brought together and embodied a number of trends which distinguished the post-1903 revival from the movement of the 1880s and 1890s.
		Sharp regarded it as a lost heritage which could and should be restored to the nation at large, beginning with schoolchildren.
		Sharp died in 1924 and with his passing the movement seemed to suffer a general failure of nerve.

	Cecil Sharp
		Sharp was attracted to folk music by the encounter with Headington, initially he turned to folk songs collected by others, such as in Chappell's Popular Music of the Olden Time, for his school teaching, but realised the huge difference between the book versions and the transcriptions of the recent collectors such as Lucy Broadwood.
		The folk songs that Mary Neal obtained from Sharp and introduced to the Esperance girls were such a success that she determined to discover dances to go with them.
		Sharp told her of the morris dances and of William Kimber, whom she went to Oxford to interview.

		Itappears that the traditional singers (who always sang a capella) found Sharp's piano parts to be just distracting noise.However, the piano versions did help Sharp in his goal of teaching English folk music to children in schools, thus"reacquainting" them, as he felt, with their national musical heritage.
		Sharp also helped instigate a period of nationalism in English classical music, the idea being to reinvigorate English composition by grounding it in its national folkmusic.
		Large audiences came to hear Sharp lectureabout folk music, and Sharp also took the opportunity to do field work on English folk songs that had survived in the more remoteregions of the southern Appalachian Mountains, pursuing aline of research pioneered by Olive Dame Campbell.

		He determined to learn all he could about the Morris, and eventually devoted much of his life to studying and collecting traditional music and dance, travelling widely to watch the few remaining sides, both in the Costwolds and the North east, and contacting former dancers of teams long disbanded.
		Although others later added to his work, we owe Cecil Sharp an enormous debt, not only for starting the process of collection, but also for skilfully noting down the various subtleties of style which distinguished the various traditions.
		By training teams of dancers and putting on displays he led a revival of interest in Morris dancing, and from the classes which Sharp and his English Folk Dance Society began, grew the clubs such as Greensleeves which, together with a few surviving village sides, continue to uphold the traditions and spirit of the Morris.
