In
Europe
the
tradition
of
secular
dance
has
continued
unbroken
until
the
present.
In
the
late
Middle
Ages
it
was
an
important
and
frequent
event—for
the
nobility
a
gracious
way
to
entertain
guests,
for
the
peasantry
a
welcome
relaxation
from
the
toils
of
the
day.
Now
back
in
print,
this
collection
presents
compositions
that
are
known
or
suspected
to
be
instrumental
dances
from
before
ca.
1420.
The
47
pieces
vary
in
length
and
style
and
come
from
French,
Italian,
English,
and
Czech
sources.
Timothy
McGee
relates
medieval
dances
to
the
descriptions
found
in
literary,
theoretical,
and
archival
sources
and
to
the
depictions
in
the
iconography
of
the
Middle
Ages.
In
a
section
on
instrumental
performance
practices,
he
provides
information
about
ornamenting
the
dances
and
improvising
in
a
historically
appropriate
style.
This
comprehensive
edition
brings
together
in
one
volume
a
repertory
that
has
been
scattered
over
many
years
and countries.
