60 Annotated Bibliography of Renaissance DanceLH: This has some wonderful instrumentation and is definitely "courtly"(even the country dances). The tempos are mostly on the brisk side andmight prove too quick for beginning dancers although more experienceddancers should find them exhilarating. A surprising exception to this isthe country dance, "Bobbing Joe", which is done in a very slow tempo.There are several dances to each track on the court dances. You may findyourself needing to loop some of the dances in order to make it match thedances as we do them. Nice fast (and relatively short) version of"Jouissance vous donneray".Danses, Danseryes,Musica AntiquaEnsemble d'Instruments Anciens, and Mendoze, Christian CD: DisquesPierre Verany, PV 785022 / CA 803, 1984.VS: Includes 9 dances of Praetorius (Bransle double is fine, the 2 Couranteseem too slow, but I don't really do them), 8 from Mainerio (including aSchiarazula Marazula), 4 from Moderne (incl. a tordion), 5 from Gervaise, 7from Susato, and 8 miscellaneous mediaeval pieces, not all dances,including La Regina as the first of the two Saltarelli. A:*** U:*** (It's dancemusic, at danceable tempi, but we don't necessarily have stuff for all thedances on it.)Danzare et Sonare:15th c. ItalianDancesThe Longslade Consort Cassette:.Available for £7 including postage from Diana Cruickshank (see address atDHDS). Companion book available for £6.Track Listing: Petit Vriens, Annello, Gelosia, Figlia Guielmina, Amoroso,Verceppe, Gracioso, Rossina, Leggiadra.JPD: Nice recording, with lots of usable stuff on it. One nice touch is thatfor two of the dances (Gelosia and Figlia) where there are two equally validreconstructions, the tape provides one recording of each of the versions,allowing you to choose the one you prefer. Tempo and number ofrepetitions always a reasonable choice. Aesthetic Appeal: *** Usability: ****Dream of theTroubadourSearles, Richard, and Yslas, Gilbert CD: Sundown, SUN-589D.LH: Despite the assumption the title might lead you to make, this isinstrumental Renaissance music performed on guitars and most of it isdance music. Although because of its instrumentation it doesn't have thetrue "Renaissance sound" of many of the other recordings listed here, thetempos are very good and could be used for dancing.Elizabethan Musicfor the DulcimerWilkinson, Randy Cassette: Kicking Mule Records, KM226, 1982.AB: Contains: Almans, pavans, including Earl of Salisbury. Very nice

Aesthetic appeal: *** Usability: ***DZ: In the Debatable Lands we do Maiden Lane, which is first-editionPlayford, and Jamaica, Juice of the Barley, Dick's Maggot, and BareNecessities, which are not. Some lovely - if quite modern - arrangements.VS: A=**** U:no, not much period, but I looove Easter Thursday, and theTrip to Kilburn music.
