- Sault majeur.
- Posture gaulche.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6 are the 'Cinq' pas, and 5 is the characteristic leap or caper.
The next six minims are danced to the Revers, which is just the same, except that the words 'right' and 'left' (droicte and gaulche) change places all the way down. Then repeat till the tune is finished.
Arbeau gives several other varieties of Galliard, and another very good tune for it, called
'Anthoinette.' Galliard.
The 'sault majeur' in this tune would come in the middle of the semibreves in the first strain; at the 'dot' of the dotted minims in the 2nd and 3rd strains; or, again, in the middle of the semibreves in the same strains.
