Philippus Thomassinus (Filippo Tomassini): Corrente

 This "Corrente" is the third of five pieces for Renaissance guitar in Concerto Vago ... , described in my  post of 13 February 2023. 


The first few bars of "Corrente"
Facsimile at: Museo internazionale e Bibl. della musica, Bologna (I-Bc): V.156 


The corrente was a lively ("running") dance in triple time, whereas the French equivalent, the courante, was rather more complicated and measured in pace.

I have nothing to say except that it's not too challenging, and good fun to play.
