Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, American-style - A live recording from the last night of TradMad week at Pinewoods Camp, 2015. At Pinewoods Camp, the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance is a special moment. During the evening dance, the action on the dance floor pauses, the lights go out, and strains of a haunting tune can be heard approaching through the woods as ethereal costumed dancers emerge from the trees, clashing the deer antlers they carry in a ritualized dance that ends as mysteriously as it began. Recorded by Edmund Robinson. 8. It Is Time to Go Now - Matt Norman taught and arranged this traditional English song to All-Camp Chorale at Harmony of Song and Dance Week at Pinewoods, 2019. 9. Happy Trails - Happy Trails is always the last song that campers and staff sing together at the end of Maine Fiddle Camp. Led by the camp director Doug Protsik in 2014. Recorded by Amanda Witman. Produced by Julie Vallimont. Mixed and mastered by Dana Billings. All content courtesy of the artists, all rights reserved.
