Courante

/kuːˈrɑːnt/ noun

Definition

A fast, lively dance in triple meter that was popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Etymology

From French 'courante,' feminine form of 'courant' meaning 'running.' Named for the running or gliding steps characteristic of the dance.

Kelly Says

The courante was so popular that composers like Bach and Handel wrote suites of them—it was basically the electronic dance music of the 1600s!
