From: "Ian Brockbank" To: "Strathspey" Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 10:05:07 +0100 Subject: The One O'clock Canon Hi All, It has recently been brought to my attention that there is an incorrect crib of "The One O'clock Canon" circulating, which has the final dancing couple doing a wheel in the middle after their rights and lefts. The first wheel after the rights and lefts should be at the *end* in all cases. If you have a crib or set of instructions for this dance, please check that it matches the original, which is available at http://www.scottishdance.net/dances/TheOneOClockCanon.html . In summary, each set of 32 bars has the same form: 1-8 New 1s cross right, cast 2, cross right again, cast up, *while* old 1s dance rights and lefts with the 4s (new 1s go through the middle of the R&L). 9-16 RH across at the end, LH across in the middle 17-24 Reels of four on the sides 25-32 Turn end person RH (2 bars), LH across in the middle (4 bars), cast. Obviously 1st and 5th set of 32 bars both only have one dancing couple. The full instructions are as follows: The One O'Clock Canon A 64 bar Reel for a 4-couple longwise set, each couple starting after 32 bars. Music: 5x32 Reel Tune: The One O'Clock Cannon (http://www.scottishdance.net/dances/TheOneOClockCanon.gif). Note: each couple has 64 bars as dancing couple. However, the second couple starts after 32 bars, so there are two dancing couples at once. Hence the music is a 5x32 bar Reel. 1-8: 1st couple cross over RH, cast off two places, cross over RH and cast up to 2nd place. 2nd couple step up on bars 3 & 4. 9-16: 1st couple dance right hands across across with the couple at the end, then left hands across with the couple in the middle. 17-24: All dance reels of four on own sides. 25-26: 1st couple turn the end person once round giving right hands (this is continuing the path of the reel, but nippy since you have to do a full turn in 2 bars). 27-30: 1st couple dance left hands across with the couple below them (NB this is across the music). 31-32: 1st couple cast off one place to 3rd place. (See Note) At this point 2nd couple start the dance from the top _while_ 1st couple continue as follows: 33-40: 1st couple dance rights and lefts with 4th couple. Note the new 1st couple (old 2nd couple) will be crossing over through the middle of the rights and lefts on bars 5 & 6 of the phrase. 41-48: 1st couple dance right hands across with the couple at the end, then left hands across with the couple in the middle (now the new 1st couple). 49-56: All dance reels of four on own sides. 57-58: 1st couple turn the end person once round giving right hands (this is continuing the path of the reel, but nippy since you have to do a full turn in 2 bars). 59-62: 1st couple dance left hands across with the couple above them (NB this is across the music). 63-64: 1st couple cast off one place to 4th place. (See Note) Note: On bars 31-32, 3rd couple dance up to 2nd place giving nearer hands. On bars 63-64, 95-96 and 127-128 4th couple dance up to 2nd place giving nearer hands. On bars 159-160 4th couple dance up to 3rd place giving nearer hands.
