Each of these dances, which I have tried to write in a Renaissance style, has three parts that alternate between major and minor modes.
It would have been logical to illustrate them with historical paintings of Renaissance dance, but, since I have used many such paintings in other videos and did not want to repeat them, I have decided to illustrate them with pictures from my pen-and-watercolor series of scenes in Italy, the birthplace of the Renaissance, as I did in my video "12 Short Ricercari."
If you play lute and would like to try these pieces, the scores are available free of charge on my website here: verseandsong.com/library/documents/renaissance_dance_collection.pdf.
If you like this music, you might like to look at my playlist of lute videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg2GtsZ0EeLtMBkiDQDVzG8rARl6X3WEh.
