Almande Loreyne (Phalèse)

This is an Allemande from the music collection of Pierre Phalése (1510 – 1573), also known by his slightly Latinized name Petrus Phalesius.

An Allemande is a quiet step dance, originally from Germany, in duple metre with often an upbeat. The dance is almost ceremonial. Judging by its title, this piece seems to originate from the region of Lorraine, so the dance is German with a French twist.
