Composer's note:
In composing this suite I was particularly interested in the category of Renaissance dances known as the haute danse. These were lively, energetic dances -- indeed, often quite athletic - with leaps, spins, and lifts. These contrasted with the basse danse: slow, stately dances in which the dancers' feet did not leave the ground. There were numerous forms of each, varying in style, choreography, and also regionally.
