about

This album contains all nine Anglaises from the collection of Pierre-André Landrin, 1775, who was a dance master in the circle of the 20-year-old Queen of France Marie-Antoinette. This Recueil seems to be the only French source of English Country Dances in the second half of the 18th century!

The choreographies are not very demanding, but offer an Anglaise pleasure typical of the time: promenades, mostly short distances, stereotypical choreographic material... the high hairstyles of the ladies probably did not allow for quick turns and jumps.

I will be happy if someone knows the one or the other melody from a different source and lets me know. Where from did Landrin, or the Versailles Court, get its Anglaises?
