Basse Dance 1 - Attaingnant
This is a second attempt to share the first wonderful basse dance from Attaingnant's 1547 book. Thank you for Irealpro.

Ready to dance ? Ready to play ? This is the second Basse Dance, with a typical 3/2 measure enlarging the 3/4 pattern. Basse Dance 2 - Attaingnant
More to come

This one is a famous one : you may recognize a Follia, simple draft as solid as a tree : you may invent all variations as you like. Basse Dance 3 - Attaingnant

The fourth Basse Dance gives us a tender climate, even a little bit sad. But if you play first this Basse Dance (bas is low in english), the pretty Tourdion will come soon. They go together, as a pair. And now, music. "Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly..." Basse Dance 4 - Attaingnant

Celle qui m'a le nom d'amy donné. This song (she gave me the name of friend) inspire this dance, Attaingnant as all printers gives us embellishments of "à la mode "songs .Basse Dance 5 Celle qui m'a le nom d'amy donné - Attaingnant

Sixth Basse Dance is based on song "La Volunté" ( willingness ). No comment. Basse Dance 6 La Volunté - Attaingnant
