Courante Santino Garsi (1542-1604) All I know is, that Santino Garsi was a luthenist and composer from Parma, Italia. This Courante, or Corrente in Italian, is a nice and very easy piece. A courante is a rather fast ternary dance from the Renaissance and Baroque eras. I made this tab by ear, so it is possible that some of the notes are missing or superfluous.
