This is a suite of 8 branles de champagne, a very popular french renaissance dance.
These are 2 pieces on the same theme : a pavane, slow processional dance, followed by a galliard, faster with jumps. This pair of dances is typical of the 16th century.
The pieces called Ferrareze are based upon the chords progression of the passamezzo.
