Wantage

Wantage Tune: Rochdale Coconut Dance

We first used the Fanny Frail tune, in D for this. But now that we have learned 'Fanny Frail' we needed a new tune, so we have nicked the Rochdale Coconut Dance. This needs to be played quite fast, but with scope for the double-speed sticking at the end. To get the basses right, bars A 1, 3, 5, 8 and B 1,2, 5, 6 have to be played on the pull on the D row, crossing to the G row for the other bars. The first note of bars A 1, 5 are played as a dotted crotchet and quaver, i.e a strong first note & short second.
