The sarabande (from French ''sarabande'', itself derived from Spanish ''zarabanda'') is a dance in triple metre. ==History== A dance called ''zarabanda'' is first mentioned in 1539 in Central America in the poem ''Vida y tiempo de Maricastaña'', written in Panama by Fernando de Guzmán Mejía.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.grovemusic.com/shared/views/article.html?section=music.24574.1 )〕〔José Luis Rodríguez Pittí, ''Panamá blues'' (Panama: El Hacedor, 2010): ..〕 The dance seems to have been especially popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, initially in the Spanish colonies, before moving back across the Atlantic to Spain. At first some thought it indecent—a character in a Miguel de Cervantes farce alluded to the dance's notoriety by saying that hell was its "birthplace and breeding place." It was banned in Spain in 1583 but still performed, even by clerics during the mass and frequently cited in literature of the period (for instance, by Lope de Vega).〔Richard Hudson and Meredith Ellis Little, "Sarabande: 1. Early Development to c1640", ''The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'', second edition, edited by Stanley Sadie and John Tyrrell (London: Macmillan Publishers, 2001).〕 It spread to Italy in the 17th century, and to France, where it became a slow court dance.〔〕 Baroque musicians of the 18th century wrote suites of dance music written in binary form that typically included a sarabande as the third of four movements. It was often paired with and followed by a jig or gigue.〔Scholes, P. A. (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Music'', O.U.P. 1977, page 911.〕 Johann Sebastian Bach sometimes gave the sarabande a privileged place in his music, even outside the context of dance suites; in particular, the theme and climactic 25th variation from his Goldberg Variations are both sarabandes. The anonymous harmonic sequence known as ''La Folia'' appears in pieces of various types, mainly dances, by dozens of composers from the time of Mudarra (1546) and Corelli through to the present day.〔Giuseppe Gerbino and Alexander Silbiger, "Folia", ''The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'', second edition, edited by Stanley Sadie and John Tyrrell (London: Macmillan Publishers, 2001); Elaine Sisman, "Variations, §3: Variation Types", ''The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'', second edition, edited by Stanley Sadie and John Tyrrell (London: Macmillan Publishers, 2001).〕 The theme of the fourth-movement Sarabande of Handel's Keyboard suite in D minor (HWV 437) for harpsichord, one of these many pieces, is featured prominently in the film ''Barry Lyndon''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Barry Lyndon (music from the soundtrack) )〕 as well as the BBC documentary, ''Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sarabande」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
