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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDANCE IN THE MIDDLE AGES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Evidence\u003cbr\u003eTheoretical Statements and the Dance Repertory\u003cbr\u003eVocal Dances\u003cbr\u003eInstrumental Dances\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTHE REPERTORY OF TEXTLESS DANCES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEstampie\u003cbr\u003eDuctia\u003cbr\u003eNota\u003cbr\u003eOther Dances\u003cbr\u003eSaltarello\u003cbr\u003eDance Pairs and Trotto\u003cbr\u003eUnidentified Dances\u003cbr\u003e\"Bel fiore dance\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Chanconeta Tedescha\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Czaldy Waldy\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Chose Tassin\"\u003cbr\u003eNo. 42\u003cbr\u003eSummary\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDANCING\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRound and Carol\u003cbr\u003eEstampie\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePERFORMANCE PRACTICES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInstruments\u003cbr\u003eTempo\u003cbr\u003eOrnamentation and Improvisation\u003cbr\u003eTheoretical Evidence\u003cbr\u003eOrnamented Manuscripts\u003cbr\u003eImprovisation over a Cantus Firmus\u003cbr\u003eImprovising Additional Dance Material\u003cbr\u003ePreludes and Postludes\u003cbr\u003eDrones \u003cbr\u003eMonophonic and Polyphonic Performance\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTHE DANCES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEditorial Practices\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eParis, Bibliotheque Nationale, fonds francais 22543\u003cbr\u003e1a.
