When I was rewatching Elizabeth the Golden Years the other day, I kept thinking that a particular piece I heard in one scene sounded oddly familiar, and I couldnt remember why. But the more I hummed it, the more I realized where I'd heard it before!
The piece was also used at the end of every episode of The Six Wives of Henry VIII with Keith Michell.
So I found the excerpts in which it's featured, and I'm wondering if anyone recognizes it as possibly being a period piece since it showed up in two Tudor-related programs/movies. I've always liked it and would love to find a copy of it to play at my Tudor Christmas party.
Anyway, you can hear it in the background of Elizabeth the Golden Years at mark 1:43, and — just because I happened across this one first — it's playing over the end credits of a highlight video from the Catherine of Aragon episode at mark 2:15.
Thanks in advance and I'm going to also post this over on the Elizabeth Files!
Henry: Mistress Anne, will you teach the king of England how they dance in the French court?
Anne: There is nothing that France can teach England, your majesty.
King Henry VIII: Well said. Well said.

I FOUND IT! Nope, not under The Six Wives of Henry VIII or Elizabeth: The Golden Years but under Elizabeth, the first Cate Blanchett movie! Seems this piece has LEGS and then some!
On iTunes the playlist has it entitled Dansereye (1551): Rondes I and VII
According to http://tudorswiki.sho.com/page…..isode+4.07.
Anyway, figured I'd pass this on — it's such a great piece and it'll definitely be going into my YouTube playlist!
