At the sources of traditional music
This recording is a collection of pieces taken from the two most famous 16th and 17th century treatises on dancing. Published in 1588 in the form of a dialogue between a dancing master and his pupil, the Orchésographie by Jehan Tabouret, alias Thoinot Arbeau, is probably the most widely used practical treatise in the history of the dance. Intended more for couples of dancers (the Orchésographie dealt with groups of dancers), The English Dancing Master, compiled in 1651 from English ancestral country dances, was equally successful and went through no fewer than 18 printings in twenty-fours years! These two collections contain the most celebrated dances in the traditional repertoire.

La musique traditionnelle à sa source
Ce disque regroupe des pièces extraites des deux plus fameux traités de danse des XVIe-XVIIe siècles. Publié en 1588 sous la forme d’un dialogue entre un maître et son élève, l’Orchésographie de Jehan Tabouret alias Thoinot Arbeau demeure probablement le traité le plus largement utilisé par les étudiants dans toute l’histoire de la danse. Davantage destiné à des couples (l’Orchésographie concerne des groupes de danseurs), l’English Dancing Master compilé en 1651 à partir de country dances ancestrales connut de l’autre côté de la Manche un succès tout aussi impressionnant, puisqu’il fit l’objet de 18 éditions en quatre-vingts ans ! On retrouve dans ces deux sources les plus célèbres danses populaires du répertoire traditionnel.
