Title:

Michael, The flattened 7th IS IN Abeau's original version See Orchesography pp 165-167 (Dover Edition) Its scored in G with no F#s except for the penultimate note which Arbeau clearly marks as F# as a cadence Graham On 22/12/12 12:28, michael wrote:    Here's a video snippet of the dance we do to Branle des Chevaux...not rocket science, but enjoyable. _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaMJuJ3smsI <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaMJuJ3smsI&list=UU_LtSr8oWIhx_Baeqy5RWGw&in > &list=UU_LtSr8oWIhx_Baeqy5RWGw&in dex=17_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaMJuJ3smsI <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaMJuJ3smsI&list=UU_LtSr8oWIhx_Baeqy5RWGw&in dex=17> &list=UU_LtSr8oWIhx_Baeqy5RWGw&index=17)     [M: congrats. Good rhythm & flow, the best I’ve heard. But the  flattened 7th is intrusive and unnatural (oops.  pun is accidental) and is not in the original! It’s awkward to sing, too. This is not 14th cent plainsong , and even if it were..! the dance looks enjoyable, too.  M: end.] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
