The carole was the principal social dance in France and England
from c. 1100 to c. 1400 and was frequently mentioned in French and
English medieval literature. However, it has been widely
misunderstood by contributors in recent citations in dictionaries
and reference books, both linguistic and musical. The carole was
performed by all classes of society - kings and nobles, shepherds
and servant girls. It is described as taking place both indoors and
outdoors. Its central position in the life of the people is
underlined by references not only in what we might call fictional
texts, but also in historical (or quasi-historical) writings, in
moral treatises and even in a work on astronomy. Dr Robert
Mullally's focus is very much on details relevant to the history,
choreography and performance of the dance as revealed in the
primary sources. This methodology involves attempting to isolate
the term carole from other dance terms not only in French, but also
in other languages. Mullally's groundbreaking study establishes all
the characteristics of this dance: etymological, choreographical,
lyrical, musical and iconographical.
