Well-played! Makes me want to dance. Thank you. Brittany has some interesting musical forms, such as the Kan e diskan (Chant and Refrain). Then there is their infamously loud wind instrument, the bombard. I enjoy the music.
I'm afraid I don't know, sorry. Like a lot of tunes, often they get picked up at dances by ear and then passed onto other people without a title, this seems to happen a lot with An Dro and Hanter Dro and you'll find a lot just named by the dance, which isn't very helpful when trying to identify them. The middle tune was in a book that a friend had, but I don't have a copy of it; if I do find out I will post it up.
@@jamesdumbelton Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, I know what you mean; most are just known by the type of dance (an dro, hanter dro, etc.) rather than the actual title of the tune.
@@jamesdumbelton Nice to find if you can. We can eliminate the few named ones we have- Mod Koh. De l'Abreuvoir, St Patrick's,but we too are stuck with generic " Hanter Dro" and also a "Sans Nom" andro...
@@BLOLite you can see how tunes end up titled after the person you learnt it from, even if they didn’t compose it; you also see this a lot in trad tunes all over the place.
@@jamesdumbelton Yes,we have a Keith''s Khost,and a Robin's Waltz,the former definitely locally derived,the latter , well who knows? .But at least the Breton Polka seems fairly common, please dont say it's not!
They’re both Breton serpent style dances, An Dro is in 4 and Hanter Dro is in 6, the middle tune in this set combines them both; keeps the dancers on their feet, first bit is a Hanter Dro in timing then it switches to An Dro, hence Hanter An Dro. You can look all three up on RUclips and see examples of people dancing them.
@@jamesdumbeltonDancing serpents?! God's blood! I'm working on the Hanter An Dro along with St. Patrick's An Dro on penny whistle. Brenton music is very lively.

What kind of instrument is the bigger one? Mandola or a cister type?
It’s a 5 course Cittern, you can see Louis playing it solo over on his RUclips channel to give you a better view and sound 😁👍

I know, "an dro" is a circle dance. What is, "hanter"?

@@soslothful excellent, happy playing :-)
An Dro means "the turn", Hanter means "half"; so Ar Hanter Dro means The Half Turn, and Hanter An Dro means Half The turn.
