Mr. Isaac — Individual Court Birthday-Dance Broadside Editions (1713–1715)
Publisher: Mr. Isaac (composer; Master of Dance to the Princesses Mary and Anne; b. c.1640, d. c.1722) / engraved in Beauchamp-Feuillet character notation; published London 1713, 1714, 1715 as individual broadside editions. Source: Library of Congress individual LOC Ballroom Text scans: 'The_Northumberland_Mr_Isaacs_new_dance_made_for_Her_Majestys_birth_day' (1713), 'The_Pastorall_Mr_Issacs_new_dance_made_for_Her_Majestys_birth_day_1713' (1713), 'The_Godolphin_Mr_Isaacs_new_dance_made_for_Her_Majestys_birth_day_1714' (1714), 'The_friendship_Mr_Isaacs_new_dance_for_the_year_1715' (1715). CONTEXT: Mr. Isaac's annual Birthday-Dance broadsides published 1709–1715 formed a continuous Queen Anne / George I accession court-dance series. The LOC-1709-ISAAC umbrella entry already registers all 10 birthday dances as a retrospective canonical collection (H-BAR-VAR-F0016..F0024 + H-BAR-RIG-F0002). This new Syl_ID disaggregates the LATE-SERIES BROADSIDE EDITIONS — the 4 individual LOC-held broadside scans for 1713 Northumberland, 1713 Pastorall, 1714 Godolphin, and 1715 Friendship — confirming each as its own discrete print object in the LOC Ballroom Text holdings. VERIFIED-CLONE RELATIONSHIP to LOC-1709-ISAAC: content is byte-equivalent (each LOC broadside engraves the same Feuillet-notation tract as published in the original annual release); this disaggregation follows the year-over-year Rosetta pattern documented for NDCA-24 and LOC-1871-WARWICK. HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: The 1713 twin-dance year (Northumberland + Pastorall) is noteworthy — Tomlinson 1744 p.149 singles out 'the Pastoral Dance by the late Mr. Isaac' as a Louvre/slow-jig triple-time-agreeing-with-quadruple exemplar (already cross-attested under LOC-1744-TOMLINSON); and The Friendship (1715) marks the transition to the Hanoverian court following Queen Anne's death on 1 August 1714. Has_Step_Detail=No at the broadside level — step content is in Feuillet character notation (not transcribed at this pass).Year: 1713Family: isaac-broadsidesCatalog: local
