Gray's Inn, The First - John Coperario (c. 1570-1626)

This is an English 17th century dance, Cuperaree or Gray's Inn, the First, referring in the latter case to one of the courts outside of the Royal Court. Being a Masque Dance, it was part of a multidisciplinary spectacle. These dances were popular enough to become a part of instrumental - and vocal - collections, which is how most of these dances have survived until now.
