Kate Barnes (born 1953 in Burlington, Vermont) is an American musician, composer, and publisher who specializes in English country dance. She has compiled three collections of English country dance music scores (The Barnes Book of English Country Dance Tunes Volumes I, II, and III). These collections include over 1,200 traditional and modern pieces and are considered the standard source of printed English Country Dance tunes. Barnes was given a lifetime achievement award in 2020 for her contributions to traditional music by the Country Dance and Song Society (CDSS).[1] In addition to her foundational work creating a common source of sheet music, this award also reflects her active performing career with Bare Necessities and other New England traditional dance bands.
