Pieter, This must be the origin of the word 'contredance' which we have in england. It's simply a 'country dance' under a different name (or rather under a different spelling) Mike

(it's easy though, I,ve been doing it all my life!) Pieter Oude en Nieuwe Hollantse Boerenlieties en Contredansen Old and New Countrysongs and -danses from Holland Op deze pagina's vind je de tussen 1700 en 1716 verschenen Oude en Nieuwe Hollantse Boerenlieties en Contredansen. Deze bundel is geconverteerd naar ABC-formaat. De 13 deeltjes zijn hier beschikbaar als gzipped postscript of als pdf. Hierbij is zoveel mogelijk de originele notatie aangehouden. Met de beperkingen van ABC bestanden ziet het er daardoor nog niet altijd even mooi uit. Er wordt inmiddels gewerkt aan een iets modernere en nog beter leesbare versie. Binnenkort zullen ook de ABC-bestanden worden geplaatst. On this page you will find the Oude en Nieuwe Hollantse Boerenlieties en Contredansen published between 1700 and 1716. The bundle has been converted to ABC-format. The 13 volumes are available as gzipped postscript file and PDF. The original notation has been respected. Because of this the ABC-files might not always look nice. We are working at a more modern and readable version and will post the ABC-files soon.
