Dances with evocative music

2025-06-12T20:19:39Z

KenAvner:

Sometimes a short passage of music, or even just a few notes, reminds us of a completely different song. This page collects dances with such evocative music.

(Note that we're talking about pieces that briefly sound like other pieces. For examples of dances whose music is entirely taken from elsewhere, see [[Original Music]].)

Please keep this table in alphabetical order.

Unusual Meters

2013-12-14T02:40:25Z

KenAvner: /* Combinations */

__NOTOC__
On this page you can find a collection of dances to songs with unusual meter, loosely grouped by the number of beats in a measure.
For our purposes "unusual" means anything other than measures of three, four, or six beats, grouped in phrases of two, four, six, or eight bars.

==== Five ====

* [[Machur Al Yevani]], except that each phrase in the first part has a measure of 4 at the end
* [[Zemer Ikarim]]

==== Seven ====

* [[Darbashiya]], except a single measure of 5 near the end
* [[Mishal]], first part has measures 7-7-7-7-2
* [[Reiach Tapuach]]
* [[Halleluyah L'Gal]]

==== Nine ====

* [[Isha Al HaChof]]

==== Ten ====

* [[Ya Raya]]: Not two fives, but 4-6

==== Combinations ====

* [[Shiru HaShir]]: First part has a measure of 7 followed by a measure of 8 (second part entirely in 4)
* [[Anavai]]: Second part has a measure of 9 followed by a measure of 8 (first part entirely in 4)
* [[Vaynikeyhu]]: First part has phrases with measures in 4-4-4-2, second part's phrases are 5-5-5-4
* [[Uzi]]: First part in 7, second part in 6
* [[Shir HaHaflagah]]: Eight phrases, with counts 10-12-9-11-13-12-13-12 (dance fits in a very complex way)
* [[Nitsanim Niru Ba'arets]]: First part alternates measures of 6 and 7, second part is measures of 4
* [[Hora Mamtera]]: First part is in 6, the rest is in 4
* [[Hachinanit]]: First part in 4, second part in 4 and 5

==== Usual with Variations ====

* [[HaRishut]]: First three parts have phrases of 4 measures of 4 beats, last part's phrases are 2-4-4-4-4-2
* [[HaShual]]: In 4, but with an occasional measure of 3
* [[Shibbolei Paz]]: Three phrases with measures 4-4-4-2, one phrase with 4-4-4-3
* [[Mezarei Yisrael]]: First part has phrases in 3-3-4, second part all in 4 with two beats missing at the end
* [[VaYiven Uziyahu]]: First part in highly-syncopated 4, second part in 4-5-4-5

==== Unusual Phrases ====

* [[Tikvateinu]]: Entirely in 4, but first part has phrases of seven measures

==== Seemingly Unusual but actually completely or near-completely usual (don't be fooled!) ====

* [[Eretz Yisrael Yaffa]]: Entirely in 3, with a single extra beat in the penultimate measure (the extra step, in counterpoint, is added to the last measure)
* [[Et HaGeshem]]: Entirely in 3, with a single extra beat in the first phrase
* [[Shir Al Ets]]: Entirely in phrases of 4 measures, 3 beats each
* [[Sovev Galgal]]: Entirely in 6

Comparison of DJ software

2013-10-18T17:14:43Z

KenAvner:

Very few folkdance sessions still use vinyl records, cassettes, or even CDs; virtually all have switched to some sort of DJ software on a laptop, tablet, or dedicated music device such as an iPod. On this page we compare the most popular DJ software systems, with emphasis on features most useful for typical harkadot.

=== Database versus Live filesystem ===
The distinction here is whether the software is able to detect changes on a filesystem such as whether new files are added or removed automatically. Most database systems are only able to see files explicitly added by the user, whereas live filesystem based backends can find files in specified directories.
