Basse Danse (Renaissance Fingerpicked Mountain Dulcimer)

Guy Babusek » Videos » Basse Danse (Renaissance Fingerpicked Mountain Dulcimer)

musician/member name:
Duration: 00:03:55
description:
Basse Dances were popular "walking tempo" dances in 15th and 16th century courts. French author Thoinot Arbeau preserved this melody in his book of many popular dances of his day called Orchsographie (1589). Peter Warlock used a version of this piece for the first movement of his Capriol Suite. I arranged this piece for fretted dulcimer and am playing it on an Aeolus Dulcimer built by Dale Foye ( www.aeolusmusic.com ).

I, too, am a big fan of walking tempo dance pieces from this period.  Well done and thank you so much for sharing, Guy.

Thank you Peter! Those Renaissance pieces are most evocative aren't they? I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you liked it.

Extraordinary! I can see the ballroom of a castle, candles and striding couples in festal costume in my mind's eye... Smile.gif

Oh so pretty, Guy! Nice work! It's so interesting for me to watch you play after attending Ruth Barrett's workshop. I actually understand what your left hand is doing now!

So when can I pre-order your CD?
