Notes by the composer about this composition:
"This Renaissance Dance is an adaptation of an original sixteenth century dance melody from Italy by the Italian dancer and choreographer Cesare Negri (c. 1535 - c. 1605). Born in Milan, he founded a dance academy there in 1554. He was an active court choreographer for the nobility in Milan.
This dance was originally a monophonic tune, which I developed into a virtuoso variation work."
