[SCA-Dance] Gioioso in Tre (was SCAd-Dance Delving into the Trihory)

[John Garden]

 There are 8 pages devoted to the three extant manuscript descriptions of
the Gioioso for three- including transcriptions, translations, harmonised
music, well-argued workable reconstruction- in my new publication Historic
Dance, Volume I, 1450-1550 (
http://www.earthlydelights.com.au/books-cds/Historic-Dance-I-1450-1550 ).
Indeed, there's hundreds of dances treated exhaustively in this new 7,000
page 10 volume series, now available at
http://www.earthlydelights.com.au/books-cds/shop . It’s been a long labour
of love, but now I think I have produced the resource many would have
dreamed of. Each volume (between 612 and 740 A4 pages) is crammed with many
times the information of a usual book, and will hopefully be judged to
combine the best features of a scholarly study and a practical handbook and
to offer stimulating insights and solutions across an enormous amount of
ground. Other volumes of interest to SCAers may be Vol.II: 1550-1600,
Vol.III: 1600-1650 and Vol.IV: 1650-1700. All 10 volumes are available at a
big discount.

For the interested, here’s a quick overview of the 5-part structure of each
volume in the series.
In Part 1, Dance Context, I consider the social, political and geographic
context in which dance was evolving and the continuities and changes in the
institution of the ball.
In Part 2: Dance Forms, I explore the nature and evolution of the period's
main types of dance.
In Part 3, Dance Technicalities, I analyse period observations on 'Style',
'Etiquette', 'Honours', 'Holds', 'Formations', 'Figures' and 'Steps'.
In Part 4, Dances in Detail, the longest part of each volume, I offer my
reconstructions of, and music for, dozens of dances and dance variants.
In Part 5: Dancing Masters, I discuss period teaching, notation and
publication, and offer an annotated bibliography of relevant primary
sources.



I was once an ancient language and history scholar and am now an avid
antique book collector and dance enthusiast- so I can’t help placing the
emphasis in each volume on  original sources (be they Italian, French,
Spanish, English, German etc) and have built my discussions around hundreds
facsimiles, transcriptions, translations and illustrations. Hope you’ll try
a volume or two!


With best wishes,

Dr John Gardiner-Garden.

Oh, that reminds me, does anyone have a reconstruction of Gioioso in Tre
that they like?  I've got some raw translations that I keep meaning to
work into something more useful, and was wondering what other people
thought of the dance
