Summary

Description
English: This is a photocopy of the sixth and seventh couplets of The Submission, a ball dance for a couple, composed in 1717 by the English dancing master Kellom Tomlinson, and published by Walsh. In the sixth couplet the musical form has changed from a minuet to a rigadon, and continues in that form to the end in the seventh couplet. In bars one and two of the sixth couplet the partners are downstage, facing the presence, and holding inside hands to execute a rigadon step together. In the seventh couplet the partners come face to face in bar 7, take both hands, and perform a rigadon step, which ends in bar 8. This is the characteristic step from which the musical form takes its name. Perhaps it is not obvious from the notation, but the step does not travel, and so is used sparingly.
