On the sample midterm the terms “estampie” and “virelai” appear. What are these?
The “estampie” is a type of dance, not covered in class (see Grout & Palisca, p. 64 — you do not have to know the example in NAWM 12). We will cover “virelai” in Monday’s class (September 20), but you can read about it on p. 102. Also remember the “Glossary” in the back of Grout & Palisca (pp. 789-805), which also includes pages in the text where the terms are discussed in greater detail.
