Pastance in Concert
6 June 2014 - 7:30pm
All Saint’s Church, Cowper St., Ainslie, Canberra
In association with the inaugural Festival of Early Dance, Pastance Celtic/Early Music Ensemble will present a family-friendly concert spanning five centuries of music and incorporating audience participation.
Sydney based ensemble Pastance was formed by Alex and Megan Cronin (who grew up in Canberra) in 1991. They bring together a passion for traditional folk music and a love of the music of early music from Europe. They have played at some of Australia's largest folk festivals, including The National Folk Festival, Woodford and Port Fairy. In recent years Pastance have performed to enthusiastic acclaim at the Tyalgum and Camden Haven Music Festivals and regularly perform at Arcadia Music Recitals and at the Gunning music series.
At the core of Pastance is multi-instrumentalist Alexander Cronin, who plays a 90 string Baroque triple-harp, lute, medieval gittern and occasionally bagpipes. He is joined by vocalists Megan Cronin and Myfanwy Dibben who also play recorders, shawm and percussion. Together they present an astounding variety of musical styles, from troubadour love songs and medieval estampies, through Tudor and Renaissance lute music, virtuosic duets by Monteverdi to luscious arrangements of traditional Celtic folk music.
Pastance have recorded four CDs. Their first,” falling through time”, received a prestigious Sunny Award and their most recent, “Sit down beside me” was CD of the week on ABC classic FM. Over the past 15 Years Pastance has been dedicated to music education, performing for Musica Viva in Schools, the Queensland Arts Council, and the Victorian Arts Council.
2014 Festival of Early Dance: Friday 6 June - Monday 9 June
Join us for a winter-warming 2014 Festival of Early Dance
All Saint’s Church & Hall, Cowper St., Ainslie, Canberra
~ Queen's Birthday June Long Weekend ~
All live music ~ Expert dance teaching
Top guests ~ Free day long refreshments ~ Costume workshops
Warm yourselves over the coming June long-weekend with 3 days and nights of music, dance, fun and friendship at Canberra’s inaugural Festival of Early Dance. Time trip from the princely courts of 1450 northern Italy to the public dances of 1750 Paris, with lots of diversions through Spain, Germany and England along the way—300 years of the most splendid, varied, fun dance you could wish for. Everyone is welcome—you don’t need any prior historic dance experience as all will be taught or led and you don’t need a costume—though if you have one, do sport it!
The weekend starts in the historic All Saint’s Church with a Friday evening concert (punctuated by participatory dance) by award winning Sydney ensemble Pastance, making a very welcome return to Canberra (see separate press release). It continues in the Church Hall on Saturday, Sunday and Monday with a dozen different dance workshops presented by the director of the Earthly Delights Historic Dance academy, Dr John Gardiner-Garden, assisted by academy dancers and wonderful musicians. Enjoy learning pavans, galliards, branles, ballets, country dances, mixers, minuets, cotillions and more—all you’ll need is comfortable shoes and a readiness to join in! There will also be, supported by interstate guests, a Saturday afternoon talk on Elizabethan fashion, a Sunday morning viewing of rare 16th, 17th and 18th century dance books (from Venice to Versailles), an afternoon John Dowland music concert and a Monday afternoon Thomas Simpson music concert—concerts featuring lute, theorbo, viol, recorder, and voice. So, though you could dance the whole weekend, there are also sessions of the weekend you can enjoy just sitting comfortably.
Don’t miss the two big evening events—Saturday early renaissance style ‘Romeo and Juliette Ball’ (mask optional!) and Sunday’s late renaissance style ‘Revel’ (potluck supper contributions welcome!). Dress up for these however you like —costumes admired but not required.
Punctuating the above workshops, concerts and events will be some prepared dance displays—so watch out for a fiery sword dance, a high-kicking competition dance, a partner–throwing dance and some beautiful ballets from half-a-millenium ago!
Bid farewell to newly-made friends at an early baroque-style social from 4pm onwards on Monday.

Baroque Valentine’s Ball
Sat. 15 February 2014, 7-11pm, All Saints Hall, Ainslie.
This dance program, in the names of its participatory dances, tells a story—punctuated by displays of Ballets published in the 17th or early 18th century.
Display: ‘Brando di Cales’
There were two young men, Young Sir John and Hobbs, and they were both happy and available:
‘Yellow Stockings’
There were two happy young women who were happy and available, Kate and Jenny:
‘Sweet Kate’
‘Jenny Plucked Pairs’
Display: ‘Celeste Giglio’
They all lived on the estate of Lord Byron, who put on a ball:
‘My Lord Byron’s Maggot’ (2)
There was much competition between the young men for the attention of the young women:
‘Lightly Love’
John and Hobbs met Jenny and Kate, and a good friendship blossomed:
‘La Bonne Amitié’
Display: ‘Bizzaria d’Amore / La Battaglia / Bianco Fiore’
The friends had inadvertently strayed into:
‘Cupid’s Garden’
Cupid spied them and took up his bow and arrow:
‘Draw Cupid draw’
Cupid fired half a dozen shots and the consequences became very complicated:
‘Maid in the Moon’
Display: ‘Contradance Nouvelle-Lorin’
Along came:
‘Valentine’s Day’
All four friends had sent anonymous letters and were hoping for:
‘Lover’s Luck’
All the letters went astray and the men started wondering if they’d be consoling themselves:
‘Love and a Bottle’
SUPPER and Display: ‘Mr Caverley’s minuet’
The men thought they’d been rejected and couldn’t stop thinking of their Valentine:
‘Maiden Fair / Once I loved a maiden fair’
The original four messages finally found their way through that great mail room that is the:
‘Galerie d’Amore’
and all witnessed:
‘Love’s Triumph’
Display: ‘Aimable Vanqueur’
Two weddings were held on successive weekend, first:
‘Young Sir John/Happy Bride’
and then:
‘Hobbs Wedding’
A wonderful time was had by all:
‘We’ll wed and we’ll bed’
Who had fallen for who, who Cupid had struck and who married who, I’ll not say, but they all lived happily ever after.
