The sarabande is first mentioned in , a dance called a ''zarabanda'' is mentioned in a poem written in Panama by Fernando Guzmán Mexía.1 Apparently the dance became popular in the Spanish colonies before moving back across the Atlantic to Spain . While it was banned in Spain in 1583 for its obscenity, it was frequently cited in literature of the period (for instance in works by Cervantes and Lope De Vega ). Later, it became a traditional movement of the Suite during the Baroque period. The baroque sarabande is commonly a slow triple rather than the much faster Spanish original, consistent with the courtly European interpretations of many Latin dances. The sarabande form was revived in the 20th Century by composers such as Debussy , Satie and, in a different style, Vaughan Williams (in ''Job'') and Benjamin Britten (in the ''Simple Symphony'') Perhaps the most famous sarabande is the anonymous La Folie Espagnole whose Melody appears in pieces by dozens of composers from the time of Monteverdi and Corelli through the present day. FILM Stanley Kubrick prominently featured a sarabande by George Frideric Handel in the soundtrack to his film '' Barry Lyndon ''. 2 Sarabande inspired the title of Ingmar Bergman s last film '' Saraband '' (2003). In all of Bach 's cello suites there is a saraband, and the film uses the saraband from his fifth suite. Bergman had used this piece previously '' Cries And Whispers '' (1971).
