This country dance (performed by the Bath Minuet Company) is called "St. James' House" by Thomas Bray, 1699. Bray was not a musician but was a dance master & dance choreographer & the publisher of his collection of 17th century tunes & dance step instructions for these melodies. At least some of the tunes played in these country dances were composed by musician Gottfried Finger (born c. 1660). He sometimes collaborated with composers John Eccles & Daniel Purcell. So the music composer of this melody was possibly any of these 3 gentlemen.

Such graceful dances! Things are very different now than they used to be.

Social dancing (women liked it) of this era was the only low risk way for men and women to interact without harming a womens reputation. Other than at church - this was it. Any other endeavor may spark gossip.

That’s not true. There were many different types of social gatherings where men and women interacted. Women had male friends. The most influential of these women became society hostesses, hosting salons that were frequented by both men and women, who regularly debated and interacted with each other. Madame de Pompadour, for example, ran a successful salon before she became the king’s mistress, and she had numerous male friends from the aristocracy, arts, and intelligentsia - such as Voltaire, and Fragonard (to name but two). Young and old men were also hired to tutor young women in private (and many an affair occurred as a result). Even in the generation after Madame de Pompadour, women had male friends. Marie Antoinette was one such woman who was known to have male friends, as were many other prominent women of the era. Affairs and elopements were common, as were prostitutes and courtesans. Even during the regency period, it was common for men and women to interact, particularly among the upper classes. The only caveat was that men and women usually interacted in other people’s company - it was rarer for men and women to meet one on one, particularly if they were unmarried (though this did happen far more frequently than you’d imagine - for example, in the case of the aforementioned tutors [who often abused their position by seducing, molesting, or having affairs with their students]). So there were a multitude of social engagements where men and women interacted. Even at balls where dancing like this occurred, men and women conversed, gambled, played games, and watched entertainments with each other.

Debido a que comienza con una alzada, si es en 4/4, en lugar de 2/4, puede ser un Allemande. Pero, muchas de estas danzas de ese tiempo pueden tener diferentes nombres. A menos que lo diga, es un tanto difícil decir con certeza. Pero, definitivamente un minuet NO es, porque eran en 3/4, y esto jamás es ternario.

Very prim and proper. My I have this dance me lady? Fascinating stuff the historical aspect of dance. I always like to do periodic research what music previous generations listened to dance to the beat regardless of social class origination.

Como se llama la melodia?

Certainly a most organised syncrocity of footwork to the Baroque style...

@@canadianiam You have a point, but don't write off all of the past as bad... there were actually many good things, and I can't even count on my hands how many misconceptions I have had to debunk for myself (many times it actually took me quite a while to accept I was wrong). I think a lot of the hate for the past times does actually come from all these misconceptions we have, which isn't to say you are wrong- they had much worse medicine and yes, slavery was terrible and the ugliest stain on European and American history. I simply think that you should give it a little bit more of a chance before you outright attack it (which is a philosophy I try to uphold with everything, honestly). I mean, we do lots of things nowadays even though we know they're really bad for us, but ultimately it's your own personal truth, and you can make your own decision. I just thought I ought to throw my opinion out there... although you posted your comment two years ago so it's quite unlikely, isn't it? Everything has pros and cons, and the cons might not be worth the pros for you, but I think you might be surprised if you give it a chance.

Jose, the steps ARE for a minuet. It was orginally a French dance and originally done in 3/4 time, a more stately dance which in turn was formed from a simpler French dance but once it left France, it changed in tempo and music as dances always tend to do. Minuets are formed in two lines with cross overs. This is certainly a minuet as far as the steps go. Music and tempo are a different story. I danced all the classical forms of dance when younger. Minuet was always a pain in the you know what and I know a minuet when I see one.

@josesolismusic

Thank you for being clearer and telling me that it's about the dance and not the music. However, I looked up to see if there was a minuet in other than 3/4 and it only appears as 6/8, which is binary but it's a double ternary, really. I does tell me that it's called minuet because of the minute steps used to dance it. However, I would appreciate if you have any information about a minuet not done in either 3/4 or 6/8. All the baroque ones I know are in only 3/4. But since I am a music mayor, not a dance mayor, there might be some info about the choreography that I'm ignorant about. So, if you have more information, it would be well received.

Segundo o Dicionário Grove de Música - Editor Jorge Zahar - Minueto é uma "dança de origem francesa, em compasso ternário moderado...Os minuetos italianos, geralmente em compasso 3/8 ou 6/8, usavam um andamento mais rápido".
