To Her Majesty's Delight [Alf:98-B1793]

Inspired by the favorite dance styles of Queen Elizabeth I, this original set of Renaissance-style dances opens with the regal and elegant Pavanne. Following is the sprightly La Volta, a leaping and turning dance in triple-meter. The final movement, the rollicking Galop, is a lively country dance and an exceptional way to showcase your ensemble in the middle of your program.
