Glenn Simonelli Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Traditionally, can a bourre be in 6/8 time? Or is there a better term for an up-tempo dance piece with a quarter note pick-up in 6/8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Simonelli Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 I should mention that the tempo is not as fast as a typical tarantella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qmwne235 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Gigue, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Simonelli Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. It might be a little slow for a gigue, though. What about a mazurka? Aren't they often in triple meter? This is part of what will (hopefully) eventually be a suite of four or five dance pieces for guitar. I'm also working on another piece for the suite which has turned itself into a tarantella. I like the idea of having a mazurka and a tarantella in the same suite--Baroque Euro-Pop!
