DESCRIPTION:
Canaires
Anon
arr. by Sarah Watts

Imagine a quick dance with lots of jumping and stamping of feet! As its name suggests, the canarie originally came from the Canary Islands, but it spread to Spain in the 1500s and then France in the 1600s.

Canaries is a French lute piece from the Straloch Lutebook (Aberdeen, 1627). This collection was compiled by Robert Graham (1580-1661) of Straloch, Scotland. It contains many pieces of French as well as Scottish origin.
