![Renaissance Lute: Polish Dances from the Danzig Lute Book (1621) Part Four
The Danzig Lute Book, published in Gdansk, Poland in 1621, contains forty-four Polish Dances (Balleti Polachi), which I have now presented in four videos of eleven pieces each. For this series, I am playing from Sarge Gerbodes wonderful edition of this manuscript. The present video offers Polish Dances thirty-four to fourty-four. ( Please note that the numbers of these dances refer simply to their order of appearance on Sarges website [lutemusic.org], not to their order in the original manuscript.)
Those of you who listen to my recordings regularly know that I generally illustrate them with works of art. Since I have had trouble finding paintings of Polish dances, I have chosen to illustrate these four videos with paintings of the city of Gdansk (by the way, Danzig was the name of Gdansk when it belonged to Prussia or Germany).
If you enjoy this music, you might like to consult my playlist of lute videos here: https://studio.youtube.com/playlist/PLg2GtsZ0EeLtMBkiDQDVzG8rARl6X3WEh/videos. Renaissance Lute: Polish Dances from the Danzig Lute Book (1621) Part Four](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dhsz-YgOhSw/mqdefault.jpg)
