Dalza dances are pleasant with a bit of swing that engages the ear. And there are a few frottole in the Dalza book for seeing early songs.
Haraytre is perhaps the easiest of Spinacino's late Burgundian settings (book II) and is fairly short in a comfortable key. A little later (20 years or so) the Borrono/daCrema/Pacaloni dances start up and they are always sweet (there are a few in a recent LSA Quarterly if you like the french tab). There are great little galliards and jigs in Adr LeRoy (Briefe & easie ... '1568) From there it's an easy jump to early John Johnson's Quadro Pavin/Galliard. Not terribly artsy or polyphonic but they offer common ground to those moderners who see music as chords-and-beats.

So I've started to build a program fit to the modern ear, I've already several pieces (2Xfantasy by Luis Milan, no.1 and 3, tasar de corde by dalza, etc), I need at least 10 pieces, so I will like to ask your opinion. Which pieces (not dances and not songs - I can't sing) do you think will be great for it? The crowd never heard early music before or seen a lute. Thank you very much and have a great week! -- Omer Katzir The Silent Troubadour http://omerkatzir.com To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
