Understanding Form: The Canary

Link to book composition lessons: https://calendly.com/musicauniversalis I know it's been a while, it's been a busy year, but alas I am back with another upload. In this video I discuss the often overlooked dance called the Canary. Surprisingly often relegated to being a mere footnote in discussions on music history as simply an alteration of the Gigue, it like many of the other "dance forms" I discuss on this channel is worth diving a bit deeper into in order to understand its importance and place in the history and development of western music. All stock footage used in this video are of the Canary Islands. A special thanks as always to musopen.org and imslp.org for offering free public domain sheet music and recordings online.
