Two little non-challenging pieces for the New Year.
A courant (also spelt courante, coranto, corant etc) was, in late Renaissance times, a fast running dance in triple time. The forms evolved and diverged in the baroque period, but since the MS is dated about 1620, I guess these pieces were of the original form.
Not a lot more to say ... just download here and enjoy.
I hope you have a happy and musical 2024.
