A traditional contradance from about 1750, found in the collection of the French danse master R. D'Aubat de Saint-Flour, working in Ghent at that time. He collected some 120 dances in a booklet and published it on copper plate with a leather cover. It was sold to the upper middle class and nobility for the price of 2 gold ducats.
"Propres à exécuter sur toutes sortes d'instruments, avec les basses chiffrées pour le clavecin et une explication raisonnée de chaque contredanse." (These dances were notated as a melody with a figured bass for the use of a harpsichord and a description of the dance itself.)
Realised with the VSL chamber VI strings, woodwinds and tambourine
Enjoy the listen
