Three of Don’s favourite dance tunes from Medieval Europe – La Danse de Cleves’ from 15th Century France, ‘Lamento di Tristan’ from 14th Century Italy, and ‘Trotto’, a lively tune from 14th Century England.  We have no surviving records naming the original composers, and only the melody exists in manuscript sources for these pieces.  Don has recreated the bass lines and harmony to reflect musical practice thought typical for the time.   All three are in the lovely Medieval Dorian Mode (or ‘scale pattern’ as we would call it these days).
