Sarabande
(Impressionistic art)

Sarabande (Sp. Zarabanda): 
Originally this was a Latin American dance form from the 17th and 18th centuries.  The dance was banned by Philip II in 1583 because it was regarded as loose and ugly, ‘exciting bad emotions.’ Introduced to France and England in the early 17th centuries this dance transformed into a more stately version in a slower triple time. Sarabandes became a standard movement of the suite form in the instrumental works by Purcell, J. S. Bach, and Handel. In the 20th century it was revived by Debussy, Satie, Vaughan Williams (in "Job"), and Britten (in "Simple Symphony").
