Estampies
Played by pianist Daniel Ericourt
Estampie:
Originally this is a courtly dance of the 12th–14th century. Mentioned in trouvère poetry, it was probably danced with sliding steps by couples to the music of vielles (medieval viols). It has a series of repeated melodic phrases (aa, bb, cc, . . . ); phrase endings in the repetitions are often varied.

Estampies are among the earliest surviving examples of written instrumental music.
