Gagliarda is an attractive guitar solo by an unknown composer written near the end of the Renaissance period of music (circa. 1600) and a lovely piece to play around the Christmas period.

Gagliarda (Italian) means Galliard and is a dance form which involves jumps and leaps regarding the dancers and their dance moves. The Galliard was often played on the Lute – so this is probably a transcription for the guitar from the Lute tablature.

This 2 page guitar piece has dropped D Tuning D A D G B E. Written in standard music notation there is no Tablature. The piece is in 3/4 time and at a tempo of 96 beats a minute.

The music is published by Hal Leaonard and is an instant download which you can print off immediately.
