Five Elizabethan Dances is drawn from the music that sets the scene and provides the accompaniment for the Ballroom Scene from Don Freund's Romeo and Juliet: A Shakespearean Music Drama for singing actors and piano. The style of the dances is freely drawn from dances found in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (music from ca. 1562 to 1612), spiced up with changing meters and chromatic twists of melody and harmony reflecting a more recent musical language. Each of the dances represents a pivotal scene-within-a-scene.

Five Elizabethan Dances is drawn from the music that sets the scene and provides the accompaniment for the Ballroom Scene from Don Freund's Romeo and Juliet: A Shakespearean Music Drama for singing actors and piano. The style of the dances is freely drawn from dances found in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (music from ca. 1562 to 1612), spiced up with changing meters and chromatic twists of melody and harmony reflecting a more recent musical language. Each of the dances represents a pivotal scene-within-a-scene: 1. Galiard: Entry Dance (pompous) LORD CAPULET Welcome, gentlemen! ladies that have their toes Unplagued with corns will walk a bout with you.! 2. Basse danse: Romeo sees Juliet across the room (tender) ROMEO Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.! 3. Dumpe: Indignant Tybalt (heavy, rugged) TYBALT This, by his voice, should be a Montague.! Fetch me my rapier! 4. Pavan: The Lovers Touch (cool on the surface, burning inside) ROMEO Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. (They kiss.) Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.!! JULIET Then have my lips the sin that they have took. ROMEO Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again. (Kiss again.) 5. La Volta: Unmasking, Departure (festive) JULIET Come hither, nurse. What is yond gentleman? NURSE His name is Romeo, and a Montague; The only son of your great enemy.
