Intro

Allemande

Dance that emerged in 16th-century France as a supposed imitation of a now forgotten German dance (hence the name, French for 'German dance)'. The original Allemande form was in duple meter and at a moderate tempo. Later versions of the Allemande were in quadruple meter and of a wider variety of tempi, and even later variations were in triple meter. Allemande is characterized by a lack of syncopation, the combination of short motifs into longer melodic units, and contrasts of tone and motif.
