Xacona: sembla que originàriament era una dansa ràpida del nou món, de “moviments suggestius” i lletres de doble sentit que es va propagar per Europa. Un exemple n’és el Sarao de la Chacona de Juan Arañés. Va acabar convertint-se en una forma musical lenta, que proposava variacions sobre un baix donat. La van conrear Monterverdi i Frescobaldi i n’és un cas extraordinari la de Bach a la partita per violí No.2 BWV 1004.
Sarabanda: The dance may have been of Guatemalan and Mexican origin evolved from a Spanish dance with Arab influences, danced with a lively double line of couples with castanets.[1][2] 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.[3][4] The dance seems to have been especially popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, initially in the Spanish colonies, before moving across the Atlantic to Spain. Espanya va intentar prohibir-la el 1583 però va seguir essent popular. It spread to Italy in the 17th century, and to France, where it became a slow court dance.[5] 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.[8] J.S. 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.[9] The theme of the fourth-movement Sarabande of Handel’s Keyboard suite in D minor (HWV 437) for harpsichord, one of these many pieces, appears prominently in the film Barry Lyndon.[10]
