The Music and Chords for this piece appear in my publication Chording to the Dance Masters which is available to download from Sheet Music Direct and Sheet Music Plus, along with many other dance tunes of this period.
from Music of the French Renaissance - Castet, Early Music Ensemble of Lyon - RCA LSB 4070
Album does not seem to be available any more but was one of my favourites back in the day and it still is. I was about 8 or 9 when I got this album. Is it for kids? Certainly appealed to me!
I shall try to upload more from it as I can. Enjoy!

Hi. What is the name of this danse?

@alastairlodge6619 2 года назад

Hi, Attaignant didn't give this dance a name, and just calls it Basse Danse No 1 in his "Erste Tanzbook" . It is a lovely melody. The Basse Danse was quite an old dance form when he printed the collection in 1530, and is so called because feet were kept low to the ground unlike its companion the Salterello, which was more lively.

@@alastairlodge6619 Thank you for your explanation. How late would you say the basse dance was still danced?

@@danawinsor1380 Attaignant, who died in 1551 or 1552 was still publishing them for and eager public, but his successor Gervaise did not, nor did Praetorius who had about 400 dances in his Terpsichore of 1621, so I guess that dancing them had fallen out of fashion in around 1550
