Gigue - MLE 59
By Thomas E. Van Dahm 2015
 
S A T B
 
 
The compositional structure of dance music such as this heavily favors the Soprano and Bass lines. I tried to add interest to the inner parts by giving them plenty of independent action, often as connecting material between phrases.
-- Thomas Van Dahm
 
 
Simple and catchy, the melody of this dance movement keeps the players and listeners engaged while remaining accessible to the everyday ARS ensemble. This Gigue would be just as suitable in a chapter meeting setting as at the Renaissance Faire (though the low F#’s in the Bass are not available on a Renaissance recorder).
-- Glen Shannon, Editor
