Notes: Tomorrow Shall be my Dancing Day is probably from as early as the 14th Century. The tune has the characteristic 6/8 rhythm of the mediaeval English carol and the words tell the story of the life of Jesus with dance as a recurring symbolic gesture. This version sets each verse as a variation in a different dance style; it begins with a Basse Dance and follows with a stately Gavotte, a Haydnesque Minuet, a virtuosic Czardas, a Viennese Waltz, a Ragtime, a Tango, a Rumba and a final variation in rock-style before concluding with a Fugue.
