Muriel's Measure

Muriel's Measure is an English Country Dance devised by Colin Hume in 1996. It is a proper duple minor dance. The tune of the same name was composed by Colin Hume. It was performed by Bare Necessities (Earl Gaddis, Mary Lea, Peter Barnes, and Jacqueline Schwab) on the album "By Choice". It is used with permission of Country Dance Society, Boston Centre, Inc. https://www.cds-boston.org/ecdc/ The animation plays at 120 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance is slowed down so people can learn the figures more readily (no music plays during this slow set). Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color, however the border of each dancer indicates what role they currently play so the border color will change each time through the minor set.
