New page

The '''15th Century Italian Dance Project''' is an attempt provide a comprehensive set of dance reconsturctions and musical arrangements for the extant corpus of [[15th Century Italian Dance]].

==Dance Reconstruction==

A complete list of Italian dances can be found at [[15th Century Italian dances]]. Anything in red can be assumed not have a reconstruction with Cunnan friendly copyright.

If you wish to reconstruct a piece you can follow the red link to place a holding page, with a message along the lines of "Reconstruction pending". It would help if you signed your name to such a message by adding &tilde;&tilde;&tilde;&tilde; at the end.

At the moment there is no absolute rule on style. [[Petit vriens]] can serve as a guideline to page style for the moment, although it is likely that a better system will be accepted as the benchmark later.

If no music survives for a piece it would be helpful for the music component of the project to point out repeating patterns and themes in the discussion page in order to help a composer trying to write a score for it.

==Music==

There are two distinct elements to the musical component of this project. The first is creating four-part arrangements for existing melodies. The second is the composition of original dance music to suit the choreography. In either case a look at the page [[15th Century Italian Dance Music]] should be instructive.

At the moment these pieces are to be uploaded as midi files. If you are currently working on a piece, please leave a note on the relevant page to avoid duplication of effort.

===Dances needing four part arrangements===

* [[petit vriens]]

===Dances needing new compositions===

The following pages do not have Cunnan reconstructions, but are in Del's Dance Book, so music would be useful:

* [[Corona]] [http://www.sca.org.au/del/ddb/sections/15th_c_italian_dance8.html]
* [[Pietosa]] [http://www.sca.org.au/del/ddb/sections/15th_c_italian_dance9.html]
* [[Caterva]] [http://www.sca.org.au/del/ddb/sections/15th_c_italian_dance10.html]
* [[Patienza]] [http://www.sca.org.au/del/ddb/sections/15th_c_italian_dance11.html]

===Offline project===

It is currently envisaged that there will be a recording of the music, with live musicians. This is a long way off though.
