Скачать или смотреть Horse's Brawl (Medieval guitar)

Horse's Brawl also known as Branle des Chevaux, or even The Devil's Fiddler, is a very old tune indeed.

It was included in the personal project of Jehan Tabourot, 16th century priest, who wanted to write a book of the social dances he remembered from his youth, complete with their choreography and music. The book was Orchésographie, written in 1588-89 and published in 1589 under an anagrammatic pseudonym, Thoinot Arbeau.

It was also the first tune I arranged, back in 2008, though the Arabic 'interjection' was added in my days with the folk band Drake's Progress.

I call it medieval as it has a real medieval flavour to it, and I can recall seeing it somewhere listed as a 15th century piece. If anyone can locate the truth to that I'd be obliged.
