64 Annotated Bibliography of Renaissance DanceAB: Contains: pavans; galliards, balli; Caroso=Spanish pavan andGalliard; Negri=Lo Spagnoletto, Canario, El Villancico, Austria Felice.Hit & Misse Passamezzo Players Cassette: Dancecraft, from CDSS, DC 123324.Track Listing: Parson's Farewell, Prince Rupert's March, Scotch Cap,Cheerily and Merrily, Bobbing Joe, Sweet Kate, Gathering Peascods,Beggar Boy, Halfe Hannikin, Helston Furry Dance, St. Martin's, Orangesand Lemons, Rufty Tufty, Hit and Misse, Sellenger's RoundJPD: Comes with book of instructions. The music is very "lyrical"sounding, and the notes glide gracefully into each other. Unfortunately,this can make it hard to find the beat and dance easily to the music.Aesthetic appeal: *** Usability: **AH: Actually, this was easy to dance to, even if the beat is difficult to find.Arrangements are pretty.Homage to Amor:16th centuryDances of Lovefrom FabritioCarosoLes Verres Casses Cassette: Angene Feves, 1987.Available from Angene Feves, 70 Karol Lane, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523. For$12 plus $2.50 P+H. ($5 outside US)Track Listing: 15 Balli from Il Ballarino and Nobilta di Dame.LL: Probably my favorite recording. Vibrant, interesting instrumentations.Tempi tend to be brisk rather than stately. Some of the repeat structuresand number of playings differ from my own reconstructions, however.Höfische Tänze K.H. Taubert LP: Schott Wergo, 3001.MD: kind of "historical" records, Karl Heinz Taubert was the first to revivehistorical dance in Germany. For both records [note also applies toHöfische Tänze] an accompaning book is available fron B. Schott's Söhne,Mainz. The dances are widespread, from bransles to ecossaises. The books(especially to the first record, with the same name, Edition 5947) areinteresting because of lots of references to all sorts of dancing. Thedetailed instructions are partly outdated.Il Ballarino: ItalianDances, c.1600Broadside Band CD: Hyperion, CDA 66244, 1988.Instruments: flute, ocarina, recorders, harpsichord, chamber organ, regal,violin, viols, lute, mandora, cittern, chittarrone, guitarTrack Listing: Caroso: Cascarda Allegrezza D'Amore; Negri: La CatenaD'Amore; Caroso: Baletto Celeste Giglio; Gardane: Gagliardas Moneghinaand La Canella; Lupi /Caroso: Balletto Alta Carretta; Mainerio: BalloFrancese -Tedesca -Schiarazula Marazula - Ungarescha; Negri: BassaGioiosa; Negri: La Nizzarda; Valente:Gagliarda Lombarda-Ballo Lombarda-Seconda; Gastoldi:Balletto La Sirena; Caroso: Balletto Forza D'Amore;Picchi: Saltarello del Pass'e Mezo - Ballo Ongaro; Caroso: Balletto AltaGonzaga; Caroso: Dolce Amoroso Fuoco; Negri: Il Canario; Caroso: Ballodel Fiore
Annotated Bibliography of Renaissance Dance 65JPD: This CD is commercially available and fairly easy to find. Liner notesinclude info about where to order a companion book of dance instructions,which was the dance manual for the Dolmetsch Historical Dance Society'sSummer School in 1986. (I believe that the music first came out on aDHDS tape, but was later re-recorded for this CD.) Dance researcher wasAnne Day. Very pretty, very usable, at least for the dances which I know.Aesthetic appeal: **** Usability: ****VS: I only use 2 of the pieces on the CD, being Allegrezza d'Amore andBallo del Fiore. Both work without problems, so I expect the rest probablydo. The Il Canario is nice and long (11 minutes!) and at a stately ratherthan frantic speed. A:**** U:*** (may be more, for those into late dances.)Istanpitta Istanpitta CD: Lyrichord, LEMS8016, 1995.Track Listing: saltarello & trotto; Parlamento; Saltarello; Chominiciamento;La Manfredina; Tre Fontane; Saltarello; Isabela; Lamento di Tristano; InPro; SaltarelloMH: Has a usable Saltarello - La Regina (for the original choreography byJeff Singman). Unfortunately, we don't have instructions for the otherdances. Possibilities for original choreography?John Playford 22Country Dances ofthe 17th centuryAtelier Danse, and Flagel, Lou, and Flagel, Claude LP: Le Chant duMonde/Harmonia Mundi France, LDX 74690.LH: This is one of my very favorites and I only wish it would come out onCD! This was apparently part of the same series of recordings as the oneabove produced by the Flagels. The instrumentation is really outstandingand oftentimes unexpected -- according to the liner notes (entirely inFrench, no translation!) they worked literally side-by-side with dancers toensure that the recording was for dancers rather than just for listeners.They give a lot of detail about the individual figures of the dances as wellas historical information. (Makes a great translation review if your Frenchis as rusty as mine!)La Cour du RoiRene: Chansons etDansesEnsemble Perceval CD: Arion, ARN 68104, 1989.Track Listing: Dances: Filles a marier; La spagna; Domenico: Ballo Jelosia,Lioncello, Mercantia; Bassa danza Lauro; Guglielmo: Falla con misurasJPD: Some tracks are quite usable, though details might vary from yourreconstruction. Others I have a difficult time matching the steps to (e.g.Mercantia). I find it much easier to dance Lauro to the La Spagna (enoughmusic for 4 times through the dance) than to what they call Bassa danzaLauro. This may just be my own bias based on the particular version of LaSpagna I first learned and am most used to. This is a fine CD, but giventhe choice, I would instead purchase Forse Che or Mesura et Arte.Aesthetic Appeal: *** Usability: **+VS: Aesth:**** U:*** (stuff there is usable, just not that much of it.)
