	MSN Encarta - Multimedia - Galliard by William Byrd
		A galliard is a light, triple-meter dance that was popular during the Renaissance (14th century to 17th century).
		An excerpt from one of the many galliards composed by Byrd is heard here, performed by a group, or consort, of six viols.
		Renaissance composers favored ensembles of similar instruments, and the viol, a bowed string instrument made in varying sizes and held between the knees, was especially popular among amateur musicians.

		Galliard served in the court of George of Denmark, the consort of Queen Anne; he was then retained as the organist for Somerset House.
		In Galliard's "Pan and Syrinx" he employed the use of the viol to depict the movement of the river and three recorders enter illustrating the transformation of the Syrinx; the pantomimes were composed during a seven year period, 1723-1730, in which the medium was quite popular.

	The Galliard in 16th Century Italy
		Obviously the Galliard was one of the more popular dances of the time period, if not the most popular dance (it was said to be Queen Elizabeth’s favourite dance).
		The galliard was not necessarily a solo dance, and not necessarily a dance for couples or partners.
		Rule 54 discusses a short section where two men and two women dance the galliard together, then the men return to their place and the women select two other men to dance with, and this continues until “the dance is ended”, which could mean when the musicians finish playng their set piece.

	The Galliard and Tourdion: An Introductory Description
		Whereas the Galliard is generally danced to somewhat slower music, giving the gentlemen a chance to jump around and show off their hose to best effect, the Tourdion has quicker music, to which one generally dances a bit more sedately.
		This is the simplest Galliard I know, a little easier than the cinq pas (although not as generally useful).
		An eleven step galliard is done in basically the same way as a five-step; the major difference is that you use twice the time for each figure.

	Thomas Pynchon, His Pavane and Galliard
		Sixteenth-century composers are known to have preferred a harder edge between their pavanes and galliards.
		In a conventional galliard the six beats are usually accented into two groups of three, with the occasional hemiola: three groups of two.
		The piano part of the Galliard is fairly brimming with quotations from the first movement of Beethoven's Eighth, one of my favorite pieces of music.

		Galliard are Gay and Dave Reay, and they sing and play guitar - well Gay sings and Dave plays guitar.
		This is their second CD (I think) and, like the first, contains a mixture of jazz standards and folk songs, this time Scottish.
		Overall Galliard are not going to set the world on fire but I'm sure they are popular enough to ensure reasonable sales of their CD "Love and Pleasure" and good luck to them.

		A count for a regular galliard step would be "one two three four five-six", where some movement is done on each count (and the five-six is treated as a single count).
		When you see people doing fancy galliards, remember that they once had problems with even a simple cinque pas, and that the only thing that separates them from you is the time that they have spent practicing.
		In his instructions for the galliard section, Caroso gives a number of variations each of which last for four measures (although for one section the gentleman is directed to do "whatever suits him best").

		This is a useful and fun arrangement of an extroverted galliard of 1621.
		This is the period's "battle music" at its best, with contrasting reed sections set in a lively dialogue with each other.

		With the galliard, you actually get two dances for the price of one - the galliard and the tourdion. The difference is that galliards are generally slower, and the tourdion stays closer to the ground.
		The biggest trick to galliard is the rhythm. The basic rhythm counts out, "one, two, three, four, and five." (Indeed, one of the Inns of Court manuscripts gives, as its entire description of the galliard, "one, two, three, four, and five, etc.") (Follow this link for a.wav file illustrating the rhythm.)
		There was a great deal of improvisation with galliards in period. Some variations on the five steps follow.
