Matt Larsen: Flyleaf choreographies to a copy of Geste des nobles Francoys in Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale. Dances transcribed in Sachs, pp. 313-314. This document lists the dances which were performed at a court function in 1445, and includes the choreographies for each dance. Seven dances are listed, but no music is given. The style of the dances is significantly different from the style of Brussels, Toulouze and Moderne, using steps which are not mentioned in any of them, as well as combinations of steps (such as three singles together) which are never used in the other manuals. This work is dated later than any of those three, and may be describing a dance which is more similar to the dance which Arbeau describes.

Matt Larsen: This work is considered to be the first printed work on dancing, with all earlier works being manuscripts, and so would have been available to a larger audience than any previous work. Like the Brussles Manuscript, this work includes a short discussion on steps and a list of 45 basse dances, with the music for their tenor lines. Some dances appear in Brussels or Moderne, as well as here. It should be noted that the discussion of dancing and in particular the descriptions of steps which appear here and in Brussles and Moderne are far from clear and concise, but must be considered carefully when attempting to interpret the steps. Given an interpretation of the steps, the actual dance choreographies are relatively unambiguous.

It is of interest primarily because it uses a curious notation to set down the choreographies. The style of the dances is more similar to the Burgundian dances of about the same period than it is to the Italian bassadanza and balli. The sheets do not include music, although some of the titles of the dances correspond to music which is found in other sources.

There is writing on both sides of the page, although more on one side than on the other. Some of the text is fragmentary, since the page was used at some time as part of the binding of a book. The source is not of great use to the reconstructor, as there is no music, and no description of the steps (although one could assume steps similar to those described in other sixteenth century sources). A portion of this source is reproduced in the Diccionari de la Danza referenced above.

Thirty six choreographies are included, fifteen bassadanza and twenty one balli, as well as the music for them. This source is an excellent place for a person who wishes to begin reconstructing fifteenth century Italian dances to begin, since it includes discussion on steps, music and a large number of interesting dances. The only drawback is, of course, that it is in Italian and has not been translated

Matt Larsen: This manual, in the Evans translation edited by Sutton, is the best known original source within the SCA, because of its wide availability. It contains a wide variety of dances, many fairly simple in description and therefore easy to reconstruct. As with most manuals of the time, the more complicated instructions are open to multiple interpretations, and are often very confusing. Attempts to reconstruct these dances are best done with reference to the original French, since there are many nuances lost in translation. This is a work worthy of being re-examined from time to time, as one will often rediscover some detail which had been forgotten. Persons interested in learning about reconstructions may want to start with this work, since it offers the opportunity to examine descriptions of dances which one already knows, and see how other people have reconstructed dances.

Matt Larsen: This is a treatise on the basse dance and dance etiquette, written in Latin. It was apparently intended for law students at the University of Avignon, who were familiar with some dances but not basse dances. Included are 19 basse dances, but no music. A large part of the text is devoted to telling "middle class" law students what was and was not proper on the dance floor. The instructions which are given for steps are minimal and, as usual, far from clear. They are also difficult to resolve with instructions from other manuals and therefore pose an interesting problem to dance historians. It has been noted that the choreographies which Arbeau gives for bassedances are included in Arena, which has lead to speculation that Arbeau may have used Arena as a source for a dance which he himself was not completely familiar with. He would certainly have had access to Arena, since it was reprinted in many editions over a span of more than two centuries, with the last reprint being about 1758.

These books are collections of her arrangements of melodies from the first edition of Playford. They are invariably danceable, and generally fairly pleasant to listen to; Marshall is quite explicit in her desire to see people use these arrangements to promote more reconstruction of Playford. I have heard a rumor that a third volume has been published but have not seen it yet.

Busch, Carolann

Busch, Carolann. The Dances of Battistino: Five Italian Renaissance Duets From the Sixteenth Century. Master's Thesis (UCLA-1984), UCLA, 1984, 1984.

Abstract: Sixteenth century court dance has been preserved in Fabrito M. Caroso's Italian manual Il Ballarino (1581). Within the Caroso work, twelve dances are attributed to a Messer Battistino. Five of these dances, all duets, are the focus of this thesis. These dances were chosen as typical of Battistino's work and, to the author, the most interesting choreographies. The dances are: "Contentezza d'Amore," "Rustica Amorosa," "Lucretia Favorita," "Bassa Toscana," and "Barriera Balletto." This study documents the process of reconstructing these dances from an original dance manual, and some comparative remarks. In recreating these dances, Il Ballarino is the primary and only source used for the dance directions and music. The step descriptions and some stylistic remarks on execution and etiquette are found in the first section of the book. In realizing dances of any given era, it is important to follow those step rules and instructions found within the same manual as the dances themselves. Each of the dances described will be followed by a discussion of the text which will examine the various areas of interpretation. The dancer cue sheet, floor plan and lute transcription are provided as aids for further reconstructions of these works by other interested parties.

Matt Larsen: This particular manual, Il Ballarino, or The Dancing Master, is the first of the Italian manuals of this era to be published. It contains two sections, one on steps and dance manners, and one which contains choreographies. The second section includes eighty dances, with lute tabulature for the accompanying music, as well as scores for some of the dances.

Caroso, Marco Fabritio

Caroso, Marco Fabritio, and Sutton, Julia. Nobiltà di dame. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986.

Reprint of Nobiltà di dame, 1600.

Matt Larsen: Caroso's second book is a refinement of the first, to the extent that the cover page subtitles it the "Second Edition of the Book Called Il Ballarino." This is in spite of the fact that only some twenty of the forty-nine dances presented in it duplicate dances found in the previous volume. But while it is not a true second edition, there are many additions and refinements to both the "rules" for the steps and the dances themselves. As a result, any reconstruction of one of the dances which appears in both volumes should rely on the second for the definitive version. Even when reconstructing a dance from Il Ballarino which does not appear in Nobiltà di Dame, one should examine the step descriptions in the second volume, since they are in general more clear and precise. Julia Sutton's translation makes this one of the more accessible of the sixteenth century Italian sources, but one should be careful not to rely too heavily on it in creating reconstructions, as there are always nuances lost, however good the translation may be.

Lizbeth Langston: I disagree that "...any reconstruction ... should rely on the second...." While Nobiltà can be useful for clarifying passages in Il Ballarino, the first book must be taken on its own terms, reflecting a dance tradition reaching back towards the middle of the 16th century, as attested by balli d'incerti (dances of uncertain origin) and dances by other, earlier dancing masters. If you are interested in dance of an earlier time, use Il Ballarino. Note that descriptions of certain of Caroso's step units change between the books. The seguito spezzato is one example, in which the second foot is placed differently: to the instep in Il Ballarino, and to the heel in Nobiltà. In the seguito ordinario, Caroso specifically instructs dancers to finish with the back heel down in Il Ballarino, but allows it to rise in Nobiltà. In spite of what Caroso says, I do not consider the earlier dance and step-unit instructions wrong or "badly made," rather, as an historian, I assume that each book reflects what Caroso thought was correct at the time. If you want the most interesting/complicated dance and exact time period doesn't matter, look at all the variations and pick the one you like best. Finally, if you are in a situation where historical accuracy is not the highest priority, adapt, mix, interpret, or rechoreograph the originals as much as you want!

Matt Larsen: Ms in Brussels, Bibliotheque Royale, Ms 9085. Facsimile with introduction and transcription by Ernest Closson. This manuscript includes a short discussion on steps for the Burgundian style of basse dance, which are processional in nature, beginning with a reverence (i.e. bow) and branle, followed by some combination of single steps, double steps, reprises and branles. The most well-known of these dances in the SCA are Dance de Cleves and Fransois Nouvele, both reconstructed from this manuscript. This work includes a list of 59 bassedances, along with music. The music given is only the tenor line, as the musicians were expected to improvise one or two more parts around the base given to the tenor. The introduction by Closson is dated, and has been supplanted by newer scholarship.

Nathan Kronenfeld: There are also two dances which are not basse dances.

It offers eight choreographies, but no music or description of how the steps are performed is included. Dr. Brainard attributes this source to one Johannes Cochlaus, a German who was at the university of Bologna. The manuscript was apparently compiled for a pair of young ladies in Nurnberg, who desired some knowledge of current fashion in Italian dancing, for use at local dances. Most of the included dances appear in the Italian sources of the period, but this source offers a point of view other than that of a dancing master.

About two fifths of the book contains a discussion of the qualities which one needs for dancing, such as Memory, Measure, Manner, Spirit, Variety and Use of Space. These generalities give way to a discussion of tempo and steps, although the step descriptions given are hazy and open to multiple interpretations (as is usually the case with these manuals). The remaining three fifths of the book are given over to descriptions of dances, balli and bassedanza, some of which appear in the other available sources.

Cunningham, James P

Cunningham, James P (editor). Dancing in the Inns of Court. London: Jordan & Sons, Ltd., 1965.

Matt Larsen: Six manuscripts all originally relating to dancing at the London Inns of Court: Oxford, Bodleian Library (Rawl. Poet.108) (c. 1570). London, British Museum Library (Harley 367) (n.d.). Oxford, Bodleian Library (Douce 280) (c. 1606). Oxford, Bodleian Library (Rawl. D. 864) (c. 1630). London, Inner Temple Library (Misc. Vol. XXVII) (mid. 17th century). London, Royal College of Music (Ms. 1119) (mid. 17th century). All mss. have been transcribed by Cunningham. These manuscripts describe the dancing which was done during the early seventeenth century at the four London Inns of Court. Dancing at the Inns of Court consisted of a fixed program of dances, beginning with pavans and almains, and followed by galliards, corantos and branles. These manuscripts are probably notes for the dancers, to remind themselves of the steps and patterns of the dances, and as such can be difficult to understand, particularly for the more complicated dances. Of the two transcriptions, Wilson's is the better, having Cunningham to draw on. Wilson also points out a number of flaws in Cunningham's transcriptions, which are worth examining. Cunningham, on the other hand, gives more background on the Inns of Court and gives a great many quotes from accounts which describe the dancing, expanding on the text which is given in the manuscripts themselves. Also transcribed with commentary by D.R. Wilson, 1986/87.

Matt Larsen: This is an Elizabethan poem which celebrates dancing as an art, and in particular indicates that the dancing which was done at the time in the court of Elizabeth I was the ultimate form of the art. The poem is of interest to dance historians in that it includes some passages which describe the dancing of the time. These passages are not very detailed, however, so their value lies mostly in providing some supporting evidence for interpretations of steps and dance forms which are described in more detail in other sources.

Matt Larsen: Translation of an unknown French source appended to his publication of a French grammar by Alexander Barclay. The introductory to wryte and to pronounce Frenche. Only copy in Oxford, Bodleian Library (Douce B. 507). This source is very similar to some of the French sources from the fifteenth century, particularly Toulouze, Moderne, and the Brussels manuscript, although this source is somewhat more brief. It includes a number of the choreographies which appear in the other sources, although it contains no music and offers fewer choreographies than the French sources. The discussion is also more brief than that in the other sources, but the information which is there is very similar to parts in the others.

Matt Larsen: Ms. in Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale (fonds it. 972). Italian dance of the fifteenth century is the earliest form of dance for which written instructions have survived to the present. This is the earliest of those manuals, and according to some authorities, the best. Many of the dances described in this manual continue to appear in manuals up until the early sixteenth century, which gives an indication of their popularity. Italian dances of the time can be broken down into two general categories, bassadanza and balli. The difference between the two is primarily one of tempo and meter; bassadanza are always in 3/2 time, while the meter may change in the middle of balli, from 4/4 to 3/2 to 3/4, etc. There are often several such changes in a ballo, sometimes as many as four or five. Balli also tend to be more involved choreographically, including more complex steps and figures. This manual consists of 56 relatively small pages. The first thirteen of these contain instruction on how the dances and steps are to be performed, and the remainder of the manuscript consists of choreographies and their music. A total of fifteen choreographies are included.

This is followed by a relatively small number of dances, five bassadanza and ten balli. No music is included.

Matt Larsen: Ms. (by the amanuensis Paganus Raudensis) in Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale (fonds it. 973). All of the manuals attributed to Guglielmo Ebreo are roughly similar in structure (note that by manual I mean a work which includes information on how the dances and steps are to be performed, not just choreographies). The discussion in each is broken down into classifications in a similar fashion to Cornazano, including sections on Measure, Memory, Use of Space, etc. The differences are primarily small changes in the exact wording, although some manuals include sections that are not in others, and some sections are more extensive in some manuals. The primary difference between the manuals is how many choreographies each includes, and which they are. Another difference is whether the manual includes music for the dances or not. This particular manuscript consists of one hundred and three small pages. The first forty three discuss steps and their performance. The remainder of the manual includes choreographies for thirty one dances, fourteen bassadanze and seventeen balli. The last few pages contain the music for the dances.

They are from the section on how dances are performed, so they are of some use in reconstructing steps. Their use is limited, however, by the fact that they are not that different from the more complete manuals, and by their brevity.

This manuscript contains some thirty seven large pages of very difficult to read writting. The first nine pages are discussion of dance and how the steps are performed, while the remaining pages give choreographies for fifty five separate balli and bassadanza. No music is included, but many of the dances appear in other manuscripts in which the music is recorded. This manuscript is not for the faint of heart, as the handwriting is almost illegible, and no transcription exists. It does, however, contain a wealth of valuable information. It is also one of the few sources which is in the U.S., which makes it somewhat more available, at least to those who live on the east coast.

Matt Larsen: Chapters 19 through 25 deal with dancing. The chapters which discuss dancing are interesting, although not of direct use in reconstructing choreographies. No specific choreographies are given, nor is any music included. What is given, however, is information about how dances were done in England at this time. It is fairly clear that the dances were basically similar, if not identical to those which were done in France and Burgundy at this time. We can also glean some style information, so this source is more useful to those working on how the steps were performed than it is to those who are interested only in specific reconstructions.

Matt Larsen: This is a relatively short (about fifty pages) manual from the mid seventeenth century. It is of interest partly because it describes steps and dances which do not seem to appear elsewhere. Much of what is discussed seems to be galliard variations, which may have been local favorites. It may also be that Navarro gives different names to steps which are described elsewhere. In any case, it is worthy of further research, although it is a little out of the SCA period (still, if we are using Playford, which is first published almost ten years after this, I think this is justified).

Franko's writing style is extremely dense, making the book quite difficult to read, but he has some interesting things to say about the notion of movement as a form of communication. The book is very heavy on quotes; roughly a third of the text is quotes. Most quotes are given both in the original language and in English.

Henry, Susan G. The Rose and Nefr Dance Manual. Rose and Nefr Press, [1988].

Del (D.Elson): One of the better in-print general dance manuals for SCA dance. This does not attempt to exclusively cover period dance, however. A number of the dances included are SCA inventions, and the book focusses heavily on English Country, contains very few Italian rennaissance dances, and omits completely any study of the 15th C Basse Danse from Burgundy or Italy.

Justin du Coeur: There are two tapes accompanying the book, which contain danceable (if not always lovely) recordings of all of the dances contained therein. Also, while the book does contain some non-period dances, it is pretty honest about them: there is a "Dances that aren't period" section at the end for the SCA dancs that really have no connection to period, and it often (although not always) acknowledges the dances that are a bit borderline. In general, it accomplishes what it set out to do: document SCA dances. I wouldn't recommend it to the researcher, but it's an excellent place to start if you're just interested in learning some period dances as generally done today in the SCA.

Justin du Coeur: This is a very light overview of a number of dance forms predating modern ballet. It is fairly slim (140 pages), and heavy on pictures and music, so it only spends a few pages on each form. Roughly half the book is arguably related to the Renaissance -- out of 13 chapters, it has sections on the pavan, galliard, allemande, courante, sarabande, gigue, and gavotte. It's not much use for serious research, but might be useful for quickly showing some of the major dance forms of the period. (The rest of the book is all Baroque forms.) The book was intended as a textbook, and is very easy reading.

Langston, Ann Lizbeth

Langston, Ann Lizbeth. Italian Gagliarda Dance Movement in Four Dances From Cesare Negri's Le Gratie D'amore (1602). Master's Thesis (University of California, Riverside), 1988.

Abstract: This thesis focuses on the Late-Renaissance Italian gagliarda dance type as a component of a dance suite within the context of choreographic descriptions in Cesare Negri's Le Gratie d'Amore (1602). Definitive materials for reconstruction of two dances, "Bassa Gioiosa" and "Laura Gentile," are derived from full execution in a studio situation. Preparatory materials for reconstruction are presented drawn from the detailed analytical study of two other dances, "La Fedelta' d'Amore" and "La Galleria d'Amore." Negri provides rules for proper performance of step-units used in the duple-meter and triple-meter sections of dance suites. To better understand the step-units performed in the dances, Negri's descriptions of the component step-units were interpreted in Labanotation and word notes. Thus, each detailed interpretation of a step-unit is offered here as one possible and very specific suggestion for use in interpretation of the choreographic descriptions in Le Gratie d'Amore.

Lizbeth Langston: According to Negri, two step-units are considered the basis of all cinque-passi variations, the cinque-passi in gagliarda and the cinque-battute di campanella. Though several other dancing masters describe the cinque-passi, Negri is the only master to describe the campanella as a separate and important step-unit. Examination of variations whithin choreographic descriptions reveals that most are mixtures of the two basic types, the cinque- passi and the campanella, rather than elaborations of one or the other. Three of the four dances analyzed ("Bassa Gioiosa," "La Fedelta' d'Amore" and "La Galleria d'Amore") contain cinque-passi step-units and variations on the basic cinque-passi, while in the fourth ("Laura Gentile,") seguiti ordinarii replace the cinque-passi step-units. The cinq-pas documented in Orchesographie, by Thoinot Arbeau, is the most similar step-unit to Negri's cinque- passi. The basic cinque-passi step-unit from the two manuals of Fabritio Caroso, Il Ballarino and Nobiltà di Dame, is different from that of Negri and Arbeau, for his description specifies a more complex set of movements with fewer aerial steps. Descriptions of cinque-passi step-units in the works of the less well-known masters, Prosper Luti di Sulmona and Lodovico Iacobilli, are similar to those of Caroso.

Lizbeth Langston: For a dance reconstructor, this thesis is most useful for the interpretations of step-units given in Labanotation and word-notes. I have notated all Negri's basic gagliarda step-units and most of the other step-units given in his Rules, but not the various gagliarda variations he enumerates in the second treatise. The dance reconstructions are less useful. I have corrected errors and changed my thinking on all the dances I reconstructed. I have changed the figures radically. I have also reinterpreted the proper performance of the gagliarda variations. I still stand by the translations, but the dance scores contain some errors, and the figures are all incorrect. Therefore, since my interpretations of these dances "sono mal fatto," I do not recommend these reconstructions!

Lauze, Francois de

Lauze, Francois de. Apologie De La Danse. Geneva: Minkoff, 1977.

Matt Larsen: This manual describes in great detail a number of the dances popular in the early seventeenth century, including the courante, several different bransles, the galliard, as well as a few words on the gavotte. One interesting feature is that the work is composed of two separate manuals, one for gentlemen, and the other for ladies. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first dance manual which indicates that the man is doing steps (other than the bow) which are significantly different from those which the woman is doing. The manual is dedicated to George Villiers, then Marquis of Buckingham. The descriptions are probably meant to discuss the same movements which Arbeau and others describe (de Lauze actually refers the reader to Arbeau in one instance), but de Lauze's descriptions are so detailed and involved that it is difficult to understand what he is trying to get across. Thus, while this is a valuable work, it is very difficult to make definitive interpretations of the descriptions. One cannot help but feel, however, that careful reading of the manual and much work would yield some very valuable insights. In short, this manual offers a lot of promise, but ought not to be tackled unless one is willing to exert a great deal of effort.

Reprint of Mutanze Di Gagliarda, Tordiglione, Passo e mezzo, Canari e Passeggi, 1600.

Matt Larsen: This is a lengthy volume (about 300 pages) discussing, as the title suggests, galliards, tordions, passo e mezzo and canaries. It opens with a short disscussion of steps and choreographies for two dances. The majority of the volume, however, is devoted to describing hundreds of short sequences of galliards, tordions, etc. These are apparently intended for use when one needed to "invent" a galliard or other variation. The reader would memorize and practice several passages from each section, so as to have them ready at need. It is difficult to imagine anyone memorizing all of the literally hundreds of variations offered here, but it is clear that no one would have been considered an accomplished dancer without knowing a few (or better yet, being able to invent them as needed). All in all, an interesting volume, but not as generally useful as either of Caroso's works or Negri's book.

Justin du Coeur: This book is a little early, but useful for those who are experimenting with medieval dance. It is primarily a collection of all (?) the known medieval dance tunes, collected into one volume. The introductory sections have a few pages on what is known about the form of the dances, although the bulk is spent on discussing the music.

The introduction given by Moderne is very similar to that given by Toulouze, and may have been a rewriting of it.

Matt Larsen: Ms. in London, British Museum (MS Royal 16E, 37-39). Unpublished. Like the manual by de Lauze, this describes early seventeenth century court dancing, in which one can see the beginnings of what will become baroque dance in the next century. It begins with a discussion of the "principles" of dance, continues with a section on the reverence, followed by detailed discussions of the courante, bransles and galliardes (with a specific section discussing the capriole). This work is similar in many ways to that of de Lauze, even being dedicated to the same gentleman, George Villiers, Marquis of Buckingham, who was apparently an avid dancer. Like de Lauze, Montagut also gives very detailed instructions, and like de Lauze, his instructions are difficult to follow. Nevertheless, they contain considerably more information on the courante than any other sources, and they go into considerable detail on the fine points of the dances they describe, which cannot be said of many other manuals of the time.

Reprint of Le Gratie D'amore, 1602.

Matt Larsen: Kendall's translation is a very valuable volume, since it offers both a facsimile of the original and a translation. Thus, when reconstructing a dance, it is easy to refer to the original at any point, but the work is also accessible to those who don't know Italian. The translation is not completely reliable, however, and some reference to the facsimile should be made.

Negri, Cesare

Negri, Cesare. Le Gratie D'amore. Milan: 1602.

Matt Larsen: Like the other Italian manuals of the sixteenth century, this is a large volume of long and very difficult dances. In particular this volume includes a long discussion on galliard variations, and gives many galliard steps, including steps used for the "kick the tassel" contest. It should be noted that Negri uses some of the same names as Caroso for what seem from the descriptions to be different steps, so one should use care when reconstructing a dance to use the appropriate steps. On average, the dances which Negri presents are more complicated than those which Caroso offers. That is, the simplest of Negri's dances is more complicated than the simplest of Caroso's; although the most difficult dances of each author are similar in complexity

Matt Larsen: Most SCA people are familiar with some English country dances, which are at least as popular as Arbeau's dances. This is due in part to the fact that there are organizations outside the SCA which have done considerable research into these dances. It should be remembered, however, that many of the dances which are commonly done by such groups come from later editions than Playford's original publication, or from other sources stretching all the way to the late eighteenth century. In any case, the dances which are described by Playford in his 1651 edition are relatively easy, and are mostly combinations of a fairly small vocabulary of steps, so they are fairly easy to reconstruct. Along with Arbeau's Orchesography, this is the most accessible of the original sources, and can serve as a good starting point for aspiring dance masters. One disadvantage, the fact that the music given with the dances is only a single line, has been offset by the publication in recent years of a number of booklets of early Playford dance tunes with full arrangements, as well as a number of recordings for the dance master who doesn't have musicians at his or her command.

Lizbeth Langston: Note that step-unit descriptions in Playford are very brief. He does not indicate whether to start movements on the L or R foot and does not indicate how to do figures. This has led to several reconstruction traditions and performance practices. Playford is a challenge and fun to work with.
