14. BRANLE
DES CHEVAUX
(T. Arbeau, 16th century)
Gary Roodman has used this wonderful modal tune from Orchesography for his dance, HORSEPLAY (2003). We were inspired to add harpsichord to the orchestration to enhance the Renaissance feel! Duple minor longways, improper, 7x. SOURCES: Peter Barnes, The Barnes Book of English Country Dance Tunes, Volume Two (2005) and Gary M. Roodman, A Finite Set of Calculated Figures, 2003
