An old form of the courante dance, popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, with variations in style across different regions.
An English or Italian spelling variant of 'courante,' from French and ultimately from Latin 'currere' (to run). Used particularly in Early Modern English texts.
Musicians had to learn multiple versions of the 'couranto'—Italian ones were different from French ones, kind of like how TikTok dances have regional variations!
