Hello friends and enemies of my thesis.
This should really, absolutely convince everyone, since it is not just a convenient similarity but the real thing, audible proof.
The Ciacona is not from America, but from India, obviously through a confusion of West and East India.
Raga Gaud Sarang is also associated with a joyful and loving mood. https://soundcloud.com/tristan-von-neumann/tarquinio-merula-ciacona-raga-gaud-sarang-kishori-amonkar Monteverdi's Zefiro Torna uses the same rhythm and phrases. Have fun. Enjoy the discovery. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
