French Renaissance Dance Music - Pierre Attaingnant

Branle Simple 35

Nice and original meody, staying in mind for a long.Branle Simple 35 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Branle Gay 36 Que je Chatoulle ta fossette

Special tune, without chorus or verse. Superius plays the leading part, lower parts fill out the harmony, as supporting lines. As the form of this tune is homorythmic, it's a fine challenge to give together a perfect rythmic unisson. My mother strictly forbids me to translate the title. No words, music only. Branle Gay 36 Que je chatoulle ta fossette - Attaingnant

Basse Dance 38 Trop de regretz

The Book's last Basse Dance, derived from a song speaking of love and despair. Basse Dance 38 Trop de regretz - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Branle Simple 37

A light tune, imitating children's lazzi or nursery rhyme. Branle Simple 37 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Tourdion 39 Lundi matin

Easy manner to recognize this tune : a french kids song called "lundi matin, l'empereur, sa femme et le p'tit prince ..." Some melodies travel throughout centuries.
Tourdion 39 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Tourdion 40

Do you want to hijack smooth ancient melodies ad build steady-rythm riffs with ? Just listen and play. Tourdion 40 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Branle Simple 41

Quasi a square dance. Get on board with this tune : bounce, swing and lilting compete for make people go crazy. Branle Simple 41 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Branle Gay 42

The ascending scale of part B sounds like Monteverde's Orfeo's Sinfonia. Not to play too fast. Branle Gay 42 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Branle Double 43

A good dance to waddle without embarrasment in a wide hall, listening to crumhorns and sackbuts. Branle Double 43 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Branle Double 44

A dance with humour and walking rythm. Branle Double 44 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Pavane 45

Pavan is a common music, everybody heard of it at least once. Drums are required, so I use a large, deep, low bodhran. Mandolin is welcome. Pavane 45 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Pavane 46

No counterpoint here, all music is written in homophonic texture. Dark feeling. Pavane 46 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

The three last dances are to be played just after a pavan : pavan-gaillard, pavan-gaillard etc ... To make a contrast between slow, binary mood, and lively, triple meter on the other hand. Enjoy the sense of rythm, of those dozens of bursting and shooting upbeats !
Gaillarde 48 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Try this one in a low mood, with reverb, delay and echo : remember of J. Tauler ancient Alsatian carol "un vaisseau nous arrive toutes voiles dehors" "A vessel is a-coming towards us, all sails set". Gaillarde 49 - Attaingnant

 

[toilage]

Gaillarde 50 Gardarem las vacas

Last but not least, this gaillard borrows the structure of the Romanesca. So, feel free to transform the main melody. In a manner of sign, this last of Fifty tunes is written with five staves : five voices containing two basses. Thank you for your interest for french (although this one is named in castillan...) music. Welcome to all remarks. Let's play and dance ! Gaillarde 50 - Attaingnant

New era, new job about Attaingnant. Charts have to be serviced. The beat, the structure, some chords will be stated. One goal : to play and to share. Tunes are not to be played alone, they are to be matched. I work hard to prepare this, and now ...

Pavane 47 - Attaingnant

See you later

Hello, here's a new post about Attaingnant's music. After twelve month and some rehearsals, i wrote the charts in a different way. Renaissance dance music is not jazz, and we need translation to use modern charts. Thank you for understanding this, I hope this 25 new charts are easy to read.
