FOUR RENAISSANCE DANCES

synthesized demo

Based on simple, engaging keyboard compositions from the 1570 Dublin Virginal Manuscript, these full orchestra transcriptions contain rhythmic elements that require careful attention to detail, and rhythmic independence from section to section. The Pavan, Galliard, and two Allemandes offer a great way to introduce younger instrumentalists to the music of the Renaissance, within the context of accessible, delightful dance forms.
