Devised on the occasion of the 80th birthday of Else Hartzberg on February 25 year 2008, 350 years after the peace in Roskilde 1658. Celebrated on Sunday the 24th. The instructions suggest using Castles in the Air by Peter White although that is an 8x32 recording whereas this is a 4x32 dance.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
