Subject: CD of 14th century Italian dance music


While reading this message, I'm listening to:

"la Spagna:  XV-XVI-XVII centuries"

Atrium Musicae de Madrid Gergorio Paniagua,  BIS-CD-163

Which contains 41 "variations" (very loosely) of la Spagna.  Many of
them, however, are dansable including "Falla con Misura" the
arragement by Guilelmus that should be familiar to you from danse
practice.  It also contains "The Spanish Pavan" which should indicate
how far afield they are in the translations.  

On a slight tangent, Malice marked up a copy of the "Danse de Clevse"
in the new Schott danse music anthology (volume 4 in the recorder
consort series, I don't have a copy/catalog numbers in front of me).
so that it matches Dr. Brainard's choreography (from her blue book).
(If you don't know who Dr. Brainard is ask at dance class, it means
that somebody has not been citing sources @:-).  It's technically
under copyright, but I'll be happy to send a copy to anyone who owns
the book (provided I can get Music Prose to print encapsulated
postscript).
