Trade Paperback. Condition: As New. Friou, Linda (illustrator). Revised Edition. 32 Pages. Glossy stiff covers. No defects noted. Interior pages are flawless. This book contains a collection of dances and ayres from the Renaissance period, arranged for the harp. Most of the pieces were written in the 1500's and were originally intended for keyboard, lute, or voice. Many of them are found in more than one setting by several composers and were considered the popular music of the day, to be played and enjoyed at home by the amateur as well as by the professional musician. In the 16th century, a vast amount of dance music was published. Drawn from these are the corrantos, almans, and voltas found in this book. They should be played with a feeling for the strong rhythmic pulse typical of dance music. The alman has a moderate, stately, almost heavy style. The corranto and volta should convey a light touch and quick tempo. The bransle has a swaying feel in keeping with the dance. The ayres are characterized by the beauty of the melodic line and should be played expressively and sensitively. All of the arrangements can be played on folk harp. Some do have accidentals that require the use of sharping levers. The names of the pieces, as well as their melodies, are evocative of images of another time, of castles, lords, and ladies: a time when making music was considered an essential part of a cultured person's life. It is the purpose of this book to bring to the harpers and harpists of today the music of the Renaissance. Contents: Lord Willoughby's Welcome Home, Corranto, Toy, Bransle, Corranto, All in a Garden Green, Naehtanz, Alman, Robin, Fortune, It Was a Lover and His Lass, Alman, Corranto, Nobody's Gigge, Lady Riche, Wolseys Wilde, La Volta, Variation of La Volta, Greensleeves, The Carman's Whistle, Variation of The Carman's Whistle, Hartes Ease, Alman, and The Earl of Essex Galliard.
