Basse danse La Magdalena

Basse danse La Magdalena by Pierre Attaingnant. I believe this track was written sometime in the 1520s/30s and would have been danced to. It is a beautiful piece of music which I have accompanied with various images, of which most are from the sixteenth century.

This piece was adapted by Joocelyn Pook and used on The Merchant of Venice, apears on the soundtrack like "A Banquiet for Shylock"

One of my favorites. Sounds nice on the lute too.

@LadyAethelflaed . Do you mean at 1:39? He looks to me like Henry Percy Earl or Duke of Northumberland. The same picture but full length appears in the illustrations of a book about Christopher Marlowe called "The Reckoning". Northumberland was known to like science and reading books. In the full picture you can see he is lying sideways on the ground. In the view at 1:39 you can see part of a book.

This piece with the famous Tourdion appeared first in the "Premier livre d'airs mis en tablature de luth" published and probably composed too by Pierre Attaingnant in 1529. Pierre Attaingnant was the first musical printer in France.

May be Anne Boleyn listened to it.

This is beautiful! (Both the images and the music). By the way, do you know the title/artist of image number 18 (the child seated in the white dress?) These paintings are beautiful, though I regret that I don't recognize any of them.
