CAPELLA CARNIOLA - TOURDION / Anonymus XVI. century

[@DickyMorin]

How can merely five people create such beautiful music and dance? Our Western Civilization has created so many wonderful things of which we can be proud. Great work, Slovenia!

[@JoelBelisario-po7fs]

Formidável. Gratíssimo , deste Gaúcho.

[@eldeval1]

Magnificent music and superb dancers !

[@ГалинаДемидова-т4щ]

Не так часто можно услышать колёсную лиру. Все исполнители великолепны.

[@christinaredshaw5257]

Truly delightful to watch and listen to every time. Makes me long to learn to do the same. So graceful, so elegant! Modern life has lost so much of what was one prized beautiful in music and dancing.

[@FelixFelisis]

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen.

[@tanjaskok1]

Xena of Amphipolis I am touched by your comment- thank you.

[@VictoriaJarvis-jl8gx]

The dance in green has such graceful hands.

[@marcelcharbonnier297]

The author of this song/dance is the French Pierre Attaingnant (1494-1551).

[@michelepoletti8208]

Yes... and not. Attaingnant published this song (and many other tunes), but it is not sure that he wrote it.

Que lindo Lo miro una y otra vez

[@ptactwo]

ooh how light are their jumps!

[@erisdiscord1618]

I really love this performance. I would love to learn how to dance like this!

[@christinaredshaw5257]

I, too, would love to dance this way, but who would ever teach anything so rare and exquisite here in southern Tasmania, Australia? This is the wrong part of the world, I fear, I fear! O, woe, alas for me!

[@butsch43]

Super, die Performance schon lange nicht mehr so viel Elegance und Authenzität gesehen auch die Musik ist ein Genuß!

[@tanjaskok2519]

Feeling honoured for this comment, thank you. :)

[@scburkhardt8464]

Hurdy Gurdy - heard this instrument at Festa Italiana in Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA one year and went out and bought a CD of English hurdy gurdy music. Like seeing the dancing to this music too.

[@tanjaskok2519]

Thank you, very much :)

[@musicloverlondon6070]

That was lovely to watch. Intricate, fast and yet elegant as well - and the high five at the end was unexpected! 😄

[@tanjaskok2519]

Thank you! It was pleasure to dance, and the high five was spontaneous :)

[@michaelfoutch1169]

Great dancing. I just would like to see them in rehearsal clothes so we could see what their feet are doing.

[@NihilIslands]

Even Tudors would want that !

[@JarlOfSwot]

A beautiful performance all round. Thank you.

[@celticzoon3711]

Ok, since I liked the dancing as well (those music were made for dancing primarily), I 'll give you out the story so that you can change the title ... : it was PUBLISHED by Pierre Attaingnant . People keeps on saying Author is anonymous and guess what ; the author is Claude Gervaise, who was indeed the ... assistant of P. Attaingnant. Cheers.

Cuál es el nombre del instrumento que maneja el caballero? Por favor!

[@bernardinelermite1133]

Quelle grâce ! Enchanteur !!.... dommage que l'acoustique de la salle brouille un peu le rendu. C'est une chance d'avoir près de chez soi d'autres personnes pour pouvoir partager une telle passion, avec de si beaux costumes !

Muchas gracias Cachito y saludos a Salvador.

[@maria-doloresgasquez9802]

Thank you so much, I love it... I am trying to learn this dance ;-)

[@tanjaskok2519]

Thank you, Maria Dolores! The dance is our original choreography based on basic Tourdion and Galliarde steps. I am glad we inspired you :)

[@NihilIslands]

This dance remembered me of a scene to the court of King Henry where a dance band would come to entertain the king...and dissatisfied with the dance of women because he could not see the steps behind the skirt he hired pages men at his court wearing buffant trousers so he could enjoy learning the steps himself...New bands appeared of men dancing in buffant trousers....rather than women ...That explains the suspicion of him being gay...

[@romanticoide75]

tourdion or irish dance?

[@stefanieproll6962]

Ich liebe die Drehleier!.

[@bernarddavid7714]

Dommage, la prise de son n'est pas bonne, oui, vraiment dommage…

[@mermaidlolita3289]

This folk dance is from wich country?

[@tanjaskok1]

More than folk dance it is a reconstruction based on the Tourdion and Galliard steps of 16.century France. We assume that these steps were used both in court dances as well as popular dances. Unfortunately we know less about the popular dance. But some description of more sophisticated dancing survived till today and can be understood and reconstructed even today- 400 years later.

[@mermaidlolita3289]

Thank you so much for the explanation ... it´s beautiful

[@kruger4449]

C'est bien, parce que vous montrez COMMENT se dansait un tourdion :) En revanche, l'acoustique du lieu, ça le fait pas. Je trouve que cela massacre la superbe voix de la chanteuse lyrique ... Essayez un tournage en extérieur dans un lieu calme, avec la lumière rasante de l'aube, qui rend tout fort beau parce que c'est une lumière 'dorée', bien faite pour un air de la Renaissance.

[@renmedan3997]

Bla-bla-bla. Il fait comme il peut.

[@marcobelli8517]

Oui, l'acoustique du lieu massacre la voix de la chanteuse lyrique. Je suis d'accord.

[@FettererBaer]

Where are you from, if I may ask?

[@tanjaskok2519]

Dear Fetter Bar, the company Capella Carniola is based in Slovenia. Greetings :)

[@FettererBaer]

Thanks a lot for the answer!

[@littleleonida1058]

Word of advice; The long skirts hide the leg work of the dance. Shorter skirts would be much more impressive!

[@blek7547]

But this is clearly a (excellent, by the way) reenactment of the dance, which is from XVIth century. Shorter skirts wouldnt be suitable for this :)

[@jochentram9301]

Precisely. For an instruction video, short skirts or pants would be better, but for a reenactment, historically accurate costume is the way to go. Which is one of the several beautiful aspects of this video.

[@templanzatemplanza7476]

Vestidos muy largos no permiten ver los pasos del baile !!.... 😳🤔

[@henrikhaas6980]

sound is swimming and not clear, voice of female singer is not appropriate for music of that time
