Yes comes from Saint Léger, french bishop of Autun (7th century) who died, having surrendered to his enemy, through martyrdom ... Superb, great thanks !
I've been int St. Leger's Palace in Ireland, where this was said to have been the house dance. I am also interested in knowing how you came up with your reconstruction, because I have many editions of playford and this looks very different than what I had envisioned it. What edition were you using for the reconstruction?
Stupid take - Europeans always had a lot of drums and upbeat music. This is just an example of a time period when the aristocracy was extremely uppity and thought of drums as an instrument for simple peasants. Just go a few decades back in time and you had drums even in courtly music: ua-cam.com/video/GrtryY5xZjM/v-deo.html
Very elegant. 👏🙂
For the more lively dancing of common people, which the music calls for, see other videos.
