Canarie by Joachim van den Hove (1567-1620)
Joachim van den Hove spent his life in the Netherlands, where he was held in high regard as a lutenist, composer and teacher. He published 3 collections of lute music: Florida, Praeludia testudinis and Delitiae Musicae, from which this piece is taken. The canarie was a type of dance piece which came to Spain from the Canary Islands. Its popularity spread throughout Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries.
