The title comes from seeing a sign attached to a lamp post on Hampstead Heath (during the pandemic) which read: *“There is splendour in the grass” (Wordsworth).* *There is also my lost hearing aid!* *Unusually pleasant reward offered...* The dance contains the Snake Pass figure but any snakes in the grass should be assumed to be slow worms (which are actually lizards).
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (3). 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.
