PDOA has closed
It has been some time since PDOA had any activity, and things need to be put right with the Charity Commissioners and the IAO. So the trustees have decided that the best course of action would be to wind up the Peterborough Association.
Some neighbouring associaitons hold events very close to Peterborough, and you are encouraged to join one of the neighbouring associations:

With many thanks for your support and encouragement over the years.
The situation made us all a bit sad, but it has been a long time coming - decades, really.

During the seventeenth century, dance secured its position as a serious art discipline. As a result, dance music became prevalent across Europe, and composers of the period and indeed many since have turned to dance forms and structures as a rhythmic framework and inspiration for their composition. Characteristics of early dance forms were incorporated into the works of many European composers. This particular collection focuses on its use by two leading forces in organ music of the German Baroque and indeed its development and evolution within Western music: Johann Sebastian Bach and Dietrich Buxtehude.
