Italian dances are less codified than those of
France, but no less numerous. In fact,
many of the European dances of the period developed in Italy. The
present collection emphasizes wind arrangements, which would be
one of many ways to perform this material. Composers represented
include Isaac,
Mainerio, Festa,
Arcadelt, Ruffo,
and Vecchi.
