about

While the Quarterdays series of duos was being recorded all the musicians added a part to this track, so it's actually the only track that has everyone on it. As a bonus track it became obvious it couldn't be added to any of the duo EPs without breaking the mood, so it's out on it's own as a single.
It's two 12/8 jigs - 12/8 being 4 groups of 3 quavers which, for the numerologists amongst you, neatly represents the 4 seasons of 3 months that the Quarterdays divide the year into. These tunes are played with the Chapelloise in mind, a progressive circular dance for couples. The Four Quarters and Circle Around the Sun are here as a dedication to, and a summary of, the Quarterdays project as a whole: the four sections, the journey we’ve all been taking for millions of years as the planet sweeps round the sun on its annual circular, set amidst dance tunes, and a circle of people dancing, sunwise.
