WHAT DOES TORDION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tourdion

Tourdion is a lively dance, similar in nature to the Galliard, and popular from the mid 15th to the late 16th centuries, first in the Burgundian court and then all over the French Kingdom. The dance was accompanied frequently by the basse danse, due to their contrasting tempi, and were danced alongside the Pavane and Galliard, and the Allemande and Courante, also in pairs. In a triple meter, the Tourdion's relation to the Galliard was described as being "more rapid and smooth than the other". Pierre Attaingnant popularized the Tourdion in his first publication of assembled dances in 1530, containing a famous Tourdion based on a melody entitled "La Magdalena", preserved now in "The Attaingnant Dance Prints". Later, Tourdion "La Magdalena" was arranged into a four voices song "Quand je bois du vin clairet" by an anonymous. Thoinot Arbeau later documented information about the Tourdion in his work Orchésographie, published in 1589.
