I believe there is also a Calata in the Thibault Ms.

That is useful, but are there any later example from the end of the

Marco dall'Aquila #24 ("D'una cosa spagnuola")/Francesco #45
(Ricercar) has
the calata cantus firmus running though it. It's so early perhaps
it's a basse danse. See
http://mysite.verizon.net/vzepq31c/marcodallaquila/lapptr.html
The piece is probably by Marco, since even the Francesco version
has the
Marco Motive.

Montesardo and Costanza include pieces with the title "Calata".
Montesardo's seems to be in common time and just repeats the
formula
I IV V. Costanza's is actually described as "di Fiorenza"
and is
6/4 time and has a rather odd harmonic scheme - it starts in a
major
key and ends in a minor key. Millioni (1627) also has a Calata
in D
major and 3/4 time.
According to my rather out of date Harvard dictionary the
Calata is a
16th century dance and Dalza is the only source of examples.
Does anyone know of any other sources of Calatas in the
intervening
period. It seems strange that it should suddenly have resurfaced
after such a long period.

Monica
