Trumpet Voluntary (on John Dowland's "The King of Denmark's Galliard")

This work is an adaptation of the original seventeenth century dance melody from England. It was specially written around 1990 for dance performances with organ accompaniment with students of the then Historical Dance department of the Rotterdam Dance Academy, now Codarts. For this purpose, dance teacher / choreographer Vera Baris had reconstructed the original choreographies on the accompanying dance melodies from sixteenth century treatises.
This adaptation is a free adaptation of John Dowland’s lute work “Thee King of Denmark's Galliard” in the style of a ‘trumpet voluntary’.
