Dashing White Sergeant
The Dashing White Sergeant is a Scottish Country Dance, performed to a similarly titled piece of music. The dance is in 4/4 time, thus it is in the form of a reel. The dance is performed by groups of six dancers and is progressive.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dance: The Dashing White Sergeant )〕
==History==
The title comes from the original lyrics, traditionally attributed to the 18th century General, John Burgoyne. It was set to music by the English composer, Sir Henry Rowley Bishop in 1826.〔(Edmondstoune Duncan, ''Lyrics from the Old Song Books'' G Routledge & Sons Ltd, London 1927 (p.406) )〕 The song was to be part of one of Bishop's operas, but there is no evidence it was ever incorporated into one.〔(Flutetunes.com - Sheet Music: The Dashing White Sergeant )〕 It was adapted into a military march and was the regimental march of the Royal Berkshire Regiment. It quickly became very popular in the United States both as a song and a dance tune, and was added to the repertoire of the West Point Military Academy, where it is still played today at certain events.〔(Andrew Kuntz, ''The Fiddler’s Companion: A Descriptive Index of North American, British Isles and Irish Music for the Folk Violin and other Instruments'' - Alphabetical Files: DASH-DAY )〕 It has been suggested that it was the inspiration for ''I Wish I Was in Dixie'', as the opening bars bear a resemblance.〔(Rachel Cowgill and Julian Rushton, ''Europe, Empire And Spectacle in Nineteenth-Century British Music'', Ashgate Publishing 2006 (p.269) )〕 The dance steps come from the tradition of Swedish circle dancing, that was popular in Victorian Britain.〔(David Daiches, ''The New companion to Scottish culture'', Polygon 1993 (p.74) )〕 The better known lyrics shown below, were written by the Scottish Composer, Sir Hugh S. Roberton for the Glasgow Orpheus Choir.〔Andrew Kuntz〕
