Link arms with a cutie and dance to some Antique Bangers! This episode, the first of a multipart series focusing on dance music, features an hour of estampies, saltarellos, ductia, and other bangin’ medieval dance tunes. Limited as the repertoire of extant medieval European dance music may be, contemporary early music performers play the living hell out of these tunes, constantly giving them new shape. Historically accurate or not (leave that debate to the people not on the dance floor), these speculative interpretations go hard.
