Glenn Simonelli Posted November 14, 2009 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
Glenn Simonelli Posted November 15, 2009 Author Posted November 15, 2009 I should mention that the tempo is not as fast as a typical tarantella. Quote
Glenn Simonelli Posted November 15, 2009 Author 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! Quote
