​VOLTE, a kind of ancient dance, in three-time, so called from the figure containing many turns (volti). Thoinot Arbeau, in his 'Orchesographie' gives the following air of a Volte.

{ \relative d' { \time 3/2 \override Staff.TimeSignature.style = #'single-digit d2 d d | a'1 a2 | a g f | e1 d2 | %end line 1 g g f | e1 d2 | d d c | d1 d2 \bar "||" } }
