"The Dance (by An Antiquary) Historic Illustrations of Dancing from 3300 B.C. to 1911 A.D."

Talk graciously, in gentle and honest speech,
neither letting your hands hang as if dead or too full of
gesticulation. Be dressed cleanly and neatly 'avec la chausse
bien tiree et Pescarpin propre.'
"And bear in mind these particulars."

We have have seen from the fourteenth century (figs. 35 C, 36 A, 46)
how common the bagpipe was in out-of-door dances; in the illustrations
from Duerer (fig. 46) and in fig. 53 from Holtzer it has developed, and
has two accessory pipes, besides that played by the mouth, and the
player is accompanied by a sort of clarionet. This also appears to be
the only accompaniment of the Trio (fig. 58). [Illustration: Fig.

In the sixteenth century certain Spanish dances were introduced into
France, such as la Pavane, which was accompanied by hautboys and
sackbuts.
