Interesting how when the melody goes to that high figure the meter goes to five. So interesting, I looked up the chart and followed along. The chart shows alternating measures of three and two, since the rest of the piece is charted in two.
Nice tune; and nice use of time changes.
Dave, this one had been giving me fits because of that odd meter change in mid-phrase during the 'B' part... been listening to it for weeks trying to decide what to do with it other than just pedal a 1 through that part, but I *finally got it* last night at band practice. I think we're going to perform "Five Miles from Town" in competition at the Old Fiddler's Convention in Galax next month. (can't believe it's thst time again already... where did this year go?!)
*Tatiana Hargreaves' take on it was helpful, but since there isn't any bass part, I really just had to work this one out for myself.
**and to answer your earlier question regarding how that affects clog dancers- good ones LOVE it... they pick up on that rhythmic pattern just like a drummer would, and accentuate it.
