Darwin's Revenge

Source: Written in 2009 by Mike Miller (Bassett Street Hounds) and inspired, in part, by the Kirtlington hey seen in dances performed by Forest City Morris at the 2009 Lilac Sunday in Boston.

Tune: Barbarini's Tambourine as (A2B)5 (A=figures, B=sticking)

We needed music with 12 bars for the chorus and this English dance tune fit the bill.
