View source for Dance music

'''Dance Music''' is music that is specifically written to dance to.  We have surviving sources for both [[Medieval Dance]] music and [[Renaissance dance]] music in surprisingly good quantities and quality.

In many cases we have surviving music for a dance, without the surviving [[choreography]].  Many people have through various means attempted to [[Dance Reconstruction|reconstruct]] a dance matching the available music but the end result is usually more of an [[invention]] and probably bears little resemblence to the original, or is based on very limited [[primary source]]s.

Much '''dance music''' was written by the [[Renaissance dance]] masters themselves such as [[Cesare Negri]] or [[Fabritio Caroso]], but some of it was written by the various [[Renaissance Music]]ians such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josquin_Des_Prez Josquin des Pres] or [[Tielman Susato]].
