Songtitle: Galliard Philip Rosseter
Category: Renaissance
Description:
The galliard was a popular dance form during the renaissance all over Europe in the 16th century. Rosseter's lute songs are generally short, homophonic, with minimal repetition or word painting (imitating textual meanings through music), while at the same time being rich in musical invention. Rosseter's only other book was Lessons for Consort (1609) for a broken consort of bandora, cittern, lute, flute, and treble and bass viol, which contains arrangements of his own and others' music.
It's always wise to read my explanation of how to read my tabs. Or at least give a lot of attention to the fingering in the chord boxes.
