Program Notes
Medieval Dance is based upon a secular song, Amours, que porra devenir (0 love, what will become of me) composed by the French nobleman and poet Thibaut de Blason probably around 1200 A.D. This new arrangement is marked “Lively,” The mixolydian melody is first played by flute, oboe, trumpet, and bells in octave unisons, but the straightforward and effective scoring allows every section a melodic opportunity.
